went North, found Oslo

My latest travel consists in a little adventure up north in the Scandinavian city of Oslo. To sum it up in a few words, this is among the few places that make me feel like I would actually like to live in it and not just be a tourist. I always prefer to let the photos do the talking for me.

the touristy stuff

- Oslo Opera House -

my favorite place in Oslo must be the home of The Norwegian National Opera and Ballet, and the national opera theatre in Norway

- Barcode Project -

a geometric system that stands out architecturally (as I later found out, there has been intense public debate about the height and shape of the buildings)

- Vigeland Park -

the world's largest sculpture park made by a single artist

- Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art -

this is a place where you have to set some time aside to visit it completely

- Oslofjorden -

- The Royal Palace -

- Fram Museum -

a museum telling the story of Norwegian polar exploration

- Viking Ship Museum -

this is a must for a Vikings fan

- Munch Museum -

if you want to see 'The Scream' you must go to National Gallery (a fact I did not know at that time)

-

wandering through the city

- central railway station foodcourt -

- ubiquitous stunningly architecture -

-

This concludes the 2 days of constantly walking - 20km/day to be more exact - and taking photos. I must, as always, say how grateful I feel to have had the opportunity to explore this marvelous city alongside one of my best friends. I will surely return!
