Time Off

Boat trips along the fjord offer spectacular views, and vast tracts of unspoilt natural beauty provide a peaceful retreat and excellent opportunities for hiking, skiing and sleighing. Visitors can discover the city's rich historical background by exploring the medieval Akershus Castle, or the Viking Ship Museum's fascinating display of three ninth-century burial ships. Others might prefer to travel to nearby Holmenkollen to see one of the world's highest ski jumps or stroll around Vigeland's Park with its beautiful gardens and impressive collection of nearly 200 bronze and granite sculptures.
