Stand in awe of ‘The Monolith,’ towering from a single block of granite, as well as ‘The Angry Boy,’ capturing the essence of childhood emotions. Serenity is an ideal haven both for photographers and nature lovers who look forward to a world insulated from all the noise of commotion.
The Royal Castle

Stroll around the lovely castle gardens and observe the changing of the guard ceremony conducted daily at 1:30 PM. If you have time, you should join a guided tour between summer months to delve further into the exploration of Norwegian royalties as well as the castle’s history.
The Norwegian Museum of Cultural History
- Within a short tram ride lies the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History, an open-air museum. The emphasis here is on the incredibly rich tapestry of Norway’s cultural heritage-from historical buildings, including one of the most beautiful stave churches in all of Norway, dating from the 12th century, to exhibits on traditional ways of life and Sami culture. This is a stop that will enlighten you in ways that will be enriching as it reveals Norway’s world of diversity.
