Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    One of the best museums of specific interest. They have maintained the Fram so well and it is an experience to walk in, around and through this fantastic ship. Historical pictures were displayed all around and there were supporting shows to watch. A lot of Ealing involved.

    Beautiful Park! The sculptures are amazing, even for our teen daughter. She also had a laugh with some of them. Really worth the visit.

    Visited today , and of course had to climb up on the roof for that fabulous view. ( easy climb) it’s easy on the eye. And a nice transition from the water. I imagine in winter it could almost be hidden if the snow came. Inside was vast with clean lines. Coat racks were vast and no security. Couldn’t happen like that in my country.
    Impressive

    One of the highlights of a recent visit to Oslo. If you want to see how people have lived over the centuries this is a great place to come. Loads to see, an excellent cafe and all reasonably priced. Once the new Viking Museum moves to the site this will be a very full day's visit but even more worthwhile. As a further bonus the boat trip across to Bydgoy and the local scenery are fabulous. Highly recommended.

    In the several rooms of this interesting museum are presented sculptures and models that were created by well-known Norwegian artist Gustav Vigeland. There are concepts of sculptures that are now part of the bridge, fountain and obelisk in the park in Frogner in Oslo. Furthermore, in the museum are also several models that were never realised on the full scale (some of them showing Vigeland's visions of heroes of sagas and Eddic poems).

    Ski jump is not only a very popular sports but a traditon in Norway. The museum was closed for renovation but whatever we saw, it was breathtaking. The view from top overlooking Oslo was awesome. There was a simulter for people who wanted to get some feeling of ski jump. Also there was a zip line right from top to bottom for adventures people.
    Worth seeing...

    Fascinating to see how they had preserved the ancient ships. The audiovisual room gave an amazing experience. Great thought has gone to showcase these ships and the ppl they represent.

    Our cruise ship was docked in the fjord for 2 days. We did a one and a half hour electric cruise around the fjords in Oslo. It was very quiet but also extremely slow which was a bit frustrating. And the other people on the cruise were very noisy so it took away from the beautiful views. watching fjords for the two days, show that this area is vibrant and extremely busy in the harbour area. There are massive fairies going to other countries and smaller fairies going to the small islands it’s very interesting to watch

    You can't go in the castle, but it's a nice walk around the bastions and you get a great view of the harbor and there's no charge to walk the grounds. There is a little museum at the visitor's center which told about the queen who had lived there to give context. The Norwegian Resistance Museum does have an entrance fee, but the way everything about the Norwegian resistance movement is presented with dioramas and papers and documents is really well done and worth the admission price. There are guided tours during the summer, so you should check the website for the timing.

    I took Bus # 30 to visit this attraction. The street is narrow and our bus had to wait for the big tour bus to pass by becore we could proceed.

    There are many sailboats docked at the left side as we drive by. The neighborhood appears to be for the wealthy as most houses are big.

    I visited 3 museums here: Fram, Kon-Tiki, and Maritime Museum. The views behind the Fram and Maritime Museums are beautiful. There are some statues of explorers near the FRAM Miseum. There are areas to watch the boats in the water, a cruise ship, etc.

    If you are looking for shopping, bars, restaurants, cafes and pleasant walk all at one place then this is THE place. One can watch beautiful Oslo Fjord from here. One can spend hours here watching the world go by.

    One of the main thoroughfares in Oslo with lots of shops and restaurants which leads to the royal palace and the parliament building is located on it. So you’ll definitely be visiting during an Oslo stay.

    We spent much of a day visiting the Gardens. There was a small café for drinks and light snacks. Plenty of space to walk on pathways and most of the plants are very well marked.

    A truly spectacular place if you're a nature lover. Beautiful lake, lots of waterfowl, a peaceful place to clear your mind or enjoy a break from the city. Wonderful for running as well.
