Weekend trip to Oslo, Norway 🇳🇴

It was a weekend trip to Oslo, Norway 🇳🇴 We spent our weekend exploring the city’s vibrant culture, scenic views, and historical landmarks, and I highly recommend this itinerary for anyone wanting to capture beautiful moments and get the most out of their visit. We started our weekend by visiting the famous Vigeland Sculpture Park, a place that’s both beautiful and unique 😍 The park is home to over 200 sculptures by artist Gustav Vigeland, scattered across a large, green space. We arrived early in the morning, which was perfect because the park wasn’t crowded, and the soft morning light created stunning shadows and contrasts on the sculptures ✨ 📍Nobels gate 32, 0268 Oslo We then explored Akershus Fortress, an impressive medieval castle located right by the water. The historical significance and the views of the Oslofjord are incredible. We walked around the fortress, taking pictures 📸 of the castle’s walls, the old cannons, and the panoramic views of the harbor and city. The best time to visit for photos is late afternoon, when the sun casts a warm glow over the fjord and the fortress, creating dramatic and picturesque moments. 📍Akershus Festning, 0015 Oslo We then headed to the Oslo Opera House, a modern architectural masterpiece located right on the water’s edge. The white, angular building is incredibly photogenic, especially when captured from the steps leading to the roof. We arrived in the early afternoon, when the light was bright and reflected off the building’s glass surfaces. From the roof, we had panoramic views of the city, the fjord, and the surrounding islands, perfect for some sweeping photos 🙌 📍Kirsten Flagstads Plass 1, 0150 Oslo We also ventured to Bygdøy Peninsula, where we explored several museums and enjoyed the nature surrounding the area. We particularly enjoyed walking around the Fram Museum, which houses 🏘️ the famous polar ship, and the Viking Ship Museum, where we saw ancient Viking ships preserved in remarkable condition. The late morning ☀️ was the best time to capture both the museums and the surrounding coastline in photos. The natural beauty of the area combined with the historic sites offers countless opportunities for great shots 📸 📍Bygdøynesveien 36, 0286 Oslo Oslo offers a perfect mix of history, modern design, and natural beauty, making it an ideal destination for a weekend getaway 🙌🙌🙌 #weekendgetaways #travel #familytravel
