What to see in Oslo
The centrepiece of Oslo’s waterfront redevelopment is its Opera House. The Opera House is spearheading Oslo’s campaign to become a world-class cultural city. The Holmenkollen Ski Jump and Museum is set in the forested hills outside the city centre. A lift will take you almost to the top of the tower, but from there it’s another 114 steep steps to the summit.
There’s a panoramic view over the city from the top. You’ll also find world-class restaurants, museums and art galleries, including the most complete collection of Viking ships, tools and artefacts in Scandinavia.
