5. We take the path by the river starting at Vaterland. We can talk about how the river area, Grünerløkka, has changed from an industrial one to a very cultural/hipster one full of vintage stores, art galleries, street art, etc. Next to the river we can find Norway's leading cultural church that hosts theatre performances, art exhibitions, concerts and special events.

About Oslo

Oslo is Norway's capital at the head of the Oslofjord, a green city of sculpture, Viking ships, polar-ship museums, an opera house and forests for skiing.

Oslo sits at the head of the Oslofjord, surrounded by forested hills and dotted with islands, and it is one of Europe's greenest capitals. The waterfront has the Opera House, a white marble building with a sloping roof that visitors can walk on, and Akershus Fortress, a medieval castle above the harbour. City Hall, a brick building with large murals, is where the Nobel Peace Prize is presented each December.

Top-ranked sights in Oslo: Akershus Castle (Akershus Slott), Oslo Royal Palace (Kongelige Slott), Oslo City Hall (Radhuset).
