    Do you like Ski jumping? If you do, then you must visit Holmenkollen near Oslo, Norway! I am not a skier, but did not stop me from enjoying the place. It is located high above Oslo, and it is considered the cradle of ski jumping. It was the site of the 1952 Olympic Ski Jumping competition. Well, that is about all the history I know regarding Holmenkollen. Our friends did not take us to the museum. I can tell you the ski jump looks quite impressive (even with no snow) up close in person. I can picture the ski jumpers now....

    As a skier, I really enjoyed visiting this ski jump. I've past other Olympic ski jumps, but never taken the time to go in and visit. It was a worthwhile excursion from downtown Oslo. We saved this excursion until the end of the day, as the ski jump is open until 8pm in the summer. Almost everything else is closed by then. You can take the metro to the stop by the same name and it is about a ten minute walk. We went past the station, to the final stop. We stopped at the Frognerseteren to try the "famous" apple cake before going to the ski jump. I thought the pie was a bit overrated, but I can see how people might like it. I should now return to reviewing the ski jump. From the train stop, it's a good uphill walk to the base of the ski jump. Before going up the ski jump, there is an interesting museum about the evolution of the ski jump, the gear, and the sport in general. It was a total blast seeing the gear from the 80's and how much technology has changed things. There are a ton of pictures and models which show how the ski jump has gotten bigger over the years. After the trip through the museum has been completed, you can take a furnicular-type car up to the viewing area at the top of the ski jump. There is an observation deck, complete with a sturdy railing, for looking down the ski jump. It provides a wonderful perspective on what the athletes go through, and I cannot imagine racing down the jump and taking off. From there, you can take another ride up to the observation deck which provides an excellent view of the city of Oslo. At the base of the ski jump, there is a simulator though we did not do that. There's also a gift shop with a variety of alpine gifts (I picked up a wool hat and some magnets - a clear sign I was running out of space in my luggage). If you are a fan of sports (particularly skiing), this is a great place to visit. Seems like kids would love this too.

    As part of the museum admission we did to ride to the viewing platform at the top of the ski jump and took in the almost 360 degree views.

    Amazing culinary and sensual experience- not just a restaurant. The chef/owner speaks at the…read morebeginning about the long history of the place and even plays the fiddle. You also get to cook cheese and meat at your table. It's communal seating all at one large table, so be ready to meet your neighbors and chat. Everything was delicious and incredibly well done. You can also stay and/or camp there - we did in an RV. The views from the hall are fantastic as well. We also bought cheese and sausages.

    This is a very beautiful and traditional Norwegian restaurant. I felt like I was dining in the past…read morewith the cultural architecture this building provides. There are two parts of this restaurant, the fancy dinner option (you must make reservations for this portion) and the cafe which is self service. My boyfriend and I did not know you needed reservations for the dine in option so we sat ourselves in the very welcoming cafe dining room. The menu for both are the same so no worries if you can't get a reservation. The self serve option can seem confusing initially but they have a lot of grab and go but you can also order hot meals by ringing a bell for the chef. Check out is right before you leave the self service area which makes it really easy. I felt the prices were really fair too. For food I got the meatballs and split pea stew. My boyfriend got reindeer with cream sauce and mashed potatoes. I absolutely loved my meatballs, they were sweet and savory, I did not really like the split pea stew though. My boyfriend loved his entire meal and cleared his plate. We also shared their most popular dessert which is the apple pie. It was really good, not too sweet which was perfect for us. Definitely come to this restaurant when visiting Oslo!

    Always a must- okay maybe NOT if you have been twice and in the last 7 years…read more.. But if it's your first time in Oslo especially give yourself at least 2 hours to walk all the way in and about, around and out. This is a classic outdoor sculpture garden all done by one man-so not common. Massive grounds. Beautiful park walk and fountains and views. Iconic place and I highly suggest you go to his small museum first so you can get more history on Gustav Vigeland and the evolution of the his 200 pieces turning into the "Frognerpark."

    This is a sculpture garden filled with over 200 sculptures (and over 600 individual figures)…read moredesigned by Gustav Vigeland from 1940 to 1949. It seems to be known as both Frognerparken (Frogner Park) and Vigeland Park. I doubt you have ever seen anything like this. I am including lots of photos because it's impossible to describe what this is like. The focus of the sculptures is the cycle of life and this is literally shown as babies turn into children, who then turn into adolescents, adults, and old people, and eventually die -- as the circle continues. You will notice that the statues are very realistic and are not romanticized in the least. They are regular human beings. You will also notice, of course, that they are all naked. The purpose of this is to emphasize their humanity without relying on class or wealth that becomes more obvious when people wear clothes. This might make some people uncomfortable, but it is done without any intention of being erotic. The inspiration for Vigeland's work comes from Rodin's nude sculptures. However, the realistic human statues remind me of Pompei -- real human people caught in a fragment of time. That said, is it worth your time while in Olso? Absolutely! This will overwhelm your senses and be etched in your memory -- in a good way.

    This is an amazing area to come visit while in Oslo!!…read more While here on vacation in Oslo, I was interested to visit bygdoy for a few various reasons. First of all, this is a nice area with lots of natural scenery, fresh air and open space. Great to visit in order to escape the craziness of the main city area and to experience the museums (the majority of the museums in Oslo are situated out here on this peninsula). We took a ferry from City Hall to get here after purchasing our Oslo Pass. The ferry was a very enjoyable ride. It was a beautiful, warm, sunny day and made for a great boat ride, during which we got to capture lots of great pictures and see some open water. Many nice houses and boats situated along the oslofjord to observe on the way. Upon arriving, we were glad to see much open green grass to picnic and enjoy the view; the museums are also located close by. We first stopped at Fram (polar ship) Museum, but decided to skip Kon-Tiki Museum. After that, we wanted to see the viking ship museum and the norwegian folk museum, but we quickly discovered after consulting the map that those 2 places were located a bit of a walk away. After enjoying a nice, pleasant walk we arrived at the museums. They were both very enjoyable and could spend hours there. There are many homes and locals located on this Peninsula of Oslo, which i was surprised to discover; however overall we had a fabulous time and really enjoyed having a visit here. I would recommend to other people who come here on vacation. By the way, the Oslo pass is worth the money in order to get entrance to all the museums and transport here!

    Very beautiful part of Oslo,i like it so much. It is ful of historical museum,and very good see viewread more
