Oslo Sights

  1. Bygdøy Peninsula

    The Bygdøy Peninsula ( M0368) holds some of Oslo's top attractions. You can rush around all the sights in half a day, but allotting a few extra hours will be more rewarding.

  2. Oscarshall Castle

    The Oscarshall Castle, designed by Johan Henrik Nebelong to reflect a blend of Romantic and English neogothic styles, was constructed as a residence for King Oscar I from 1847 to 1852. It's probably the least interesting of Bygdøy's attractions, but is worth a brief detour to view from the outside if you're passing by.

  3. Oslo Town Hall

    This twin-towered Oslo Town Hall, completed in 1950 to commemorate the city's 900th anniversary, houses the city's political administration. Something of an Oslo landmark, its red brick functionalist exterior is unusual, if not particularly imaginative. The entrance is lined with wooden reliefs from Norse mythology and the interior halls and chambers are decorated with splashy and impressive frescoes and paintings by some of Norway's most prominent artists.
