Vigeland Sculpture Park (Vigelandsanlegget)

Whether you are touring the charming Norwegian capital set by the scenic Oslo fjord DIY- style on your own, or have left the planing to local tour experts to give you a fulfilling grand tour- Gustav Vigeland´s Sculpture Park is a place not to miss.

Vigeland was also responsible for the design and architectural outline of the park, which is one of Norway's top tourist attractions, with more than one million annual visitors. The park is free to enter and open all year round, 24 hours a day.

While there are some larger sculpture parks around the world, Vigeland is the largest one where all the statues have been created by the same artist. Not only did Gustav Vigeland make all 212 bronze, granite and cast-iron sculptures displayed in the park, he also designed the outline of the park itself.

How long should I spend there? You'll need at least one hour to walk around the Vigeland portion of the park; more time if you want to see Frogner Park. If you want to visit the museums as well, I recommend 2-3 hours here.
