Oslo, the capital of Norway, is a city full of unique contrasts. Its vibrant art scene blends perfectly with the city's natural surroundings. I roamed around the Vigeland Sculpture Park, the largest sculpture park in the world created by a single artist, Gustav Vigeland. The park features over 200 bronze, granite, and cast iron sculptures that depict human emotions and relationships. The Munch Museum is also a must-see for art enthusiasts, where you can admire breathtaking works by the famous Norwegian artist Edvard Munch. Besides art, Oslo has abundant green spaces and breathtaking fjords. I visited Bygdøy Peninsula, where I enjoyed a scenic boat tour along the Oslo Fjord, one of the most scenic boat tours in the world. I learned about the Viking history of Norway at the Viking Ship Museum, which boasts three perfectly preserved Viking ships from the 9th century. The people of Oslo were friendly and helpful, making my visit an unforgettable experience.
