Vigeland sculpture park in Oslo, also known as Frogner park (the park is located in borough of Frogner) is definitely a “must see”. The locals spend their free time here when weather is nice and sunny, so don’t be surprised if you meet people in bathing suits who are making some BBQ. Oslo is the capital city of Norway, but also the place where you can experience the great mix of Norwegian openness and limpness.
