Frogner Park


Norway's most popular tourist attraction

Norway

http://www.vigeland.museum.no
Within Frognerparken is Vigeland Park, Norway's most popular tourist attraction famous for 200 sculptures by Norwegian sculptor, Gustav Vigeland. During the summer, the park's outdoor cafés and restaurants are always packed. Other areas are full of joggers, skaters and walkers. There is a playground and children are allowed to climb on the sculptures. Frognerbadet outdoor pool is located next to the park. The park is open around the clock all year round; admission is free.

Oslo Microbrewery


Own brewery
Bogstadveien 6
Oslo 0355
Norway
+47 22 56 9776
http://www.mikrobryggeriet.no
At a first glance, Oslo Mikrobryggeri seems a very regular pub, with all the regular stuff, brown tables, chairs, the compulsory brass corners, some pictures and people of different ages having a good time. The micro brewery's own beer is produced in its tiny brewery in the cellar, and the quality is very good. Be aware that the level of alcohol is a bit more aggressive in this than in most other Norwegian beers. Oslo Mikrobryggeri is not located on Bogstadveien as its address states, but on one of its side streets. It is easy to find once you are aware of this.

StensParken


Park and panorama
Pilestredet,/Sporveisgaten
Oslo 0354
Norway
Another beautiful park inside central Oslo, this park has had many names. Stensparken comes from old Sten or Stein farm, closed down in the 1600s. On the north side of Stensparken is Blåsten, a small, natural environment and a paradise for adventurous children. Stensparken offers the usual pleasures of a park: a lovely place for having a picnic or for sunbathing on warm summer days. In the neighbourhood there are two streets with lots of very charming, mostly wooden buildings, bigger and more "castle-like" than those at Kampen, Rodeløkka or Damstredet (some other streets with old houses in Oslo). Look for Lyder Sagens gate and Aage Wolffs gate. Fagerborg Church is inside the park, close to a sculpture of famous Norwegian writer Sigrid Undset.

Volapük Houses


Two old houses occupied by young people
Krusesgate 7 og 9
Oslo 0263
Norway
+47 22 43 6730
Two old houses, built in the Swiss style are now occupied by young people. These houses were meant to be demolished and the sign at the entrance says "enter at your own risk". It is not very dangerous though, and once a month (usually on Sundays) a cultural evening is held with poets and musicians. There are also spring and autumn festivals. A beautiful garden surrounds the charming houses in their well-kept condition. This is a place where you can meet people interested in alternative and underground art. Many unknown people perform here, but sometimes even well-known people appear. It is not necessarily loud. Take trams 12 or 15 to Lille Frogner Allé.
