Off to Oslo for a Norwegian friend's surprise birthday party. We arrive early Friday evening and will have most of Saturday day before the party to look around. What are the best bits to see/visit? Happy to do by foot and keep it as cheap as possible...

Just checked the flight times, we should get a chunk of Sunday up until about lunchtime if we're not too hungover.

Not much help but first time I was there I was just slack jawed at the number of gorgeous women about.

I like the fact people are understated there.
Obvious wealth however they do t flaunt it.

Kon-Tiki Museum, really intresting museum. Also next to another museum.
You just hop on the local bus to get there.

Sinnataggen - Gustav Vigeland, nude status lining a really nice walk into a big park.
You can walk there past the palace if you fancy a walk.

Oslo Opera House - modern building in the centre.
You can walk on the roof for some good views

Mendel’s Karl Johan - upmarket patisserie, nice cakes

Bake Me Up | Grensen - like Greggs, greggs prices but better offerings.

John Dee - small music venue. Great atmosphere with predominantly rock bands on. One of our highlights.
It's also on the backside of a really good food court.

Oslo Street Food - indoor food court. Great atmosphere.
Has djs on an evening as it converts into a bar / music venue.
Torggata 16b, 0181 Oslo, Norway
