#596279 Easy Pay Car ParkWalking tour:Oslo opera house Akershus castle and fortress Oslo cathedral Royal palace☑️ Walk on the roof of the Oslo Opera House again. It's one of those places that never gets old.☑️ Spend another afternoon strolling along Aker Brygge by the fjord.☑️ Take a ferry across the Oslofjord. We almost skipped it, and it ended up being one of our favorite parts of the trip.☑️ Wander through Vigeland Park one more time. The sculptures are unlike anything else I've seen.☑️ Find a sunny spot by the waterfront with a coffee and simply enjoy how relaxed the city feels.A few things we'd definitely recommend:• Stay in Bjørvika or near Oslo Central Station if it's your first visit.• Buy a public transport pass because you'll probably use the trams and ferries more than you expect.• Walk on the roof of the Opera House around sunset for some fantastic views.• Visit at least one museum on Bygdøy because they're unlike anything else in the city center.• Don't skip the Oslo Fjord ferries. Even a short ride gives you a completely different perspective of the city.
