Although smaller in size than many other fjords in Norway, Lysefjorden attracts about 300,000 visitors annually. What makes this fjord so special is Preikestolen, or Pulpit Rock.

In the middle of Oslo you’ll find the spectacular Vigeland sculpture park, which is the home of the life’s work of Norwegian sculptor Gustav Vigeland.

Another favourite is the small bronze sculpture named “Sinnataggen” (the angry boy), which would be easily missed if it weren’t for the many people paying him a visit on the bridge in the park.
