Vigelandsparken is one of Norway's most visited attractions with more than 1 million visitors every year. 


The unique sculpture park is the life work of the sculptor Gustav Vigeland (1869-1943) with more than 200 sculptures in bronze, granite and cast iron. Vigeland was also responsible for the design and architectural outline of the park. A monumental artistic creation with a human message that is well worth seeing. 

The park is open all year at all times and is a popular recreation area.

The biggest park in central parts of Oslo is a popular recreational area for people from all over the city. 


On a nice summer day, Frogner Park is full of people; here you can go for a run, walk the dog, have a picnic or barbecue, play badminton or just do some sunbathing. Frogner Park has Norway's biggest collection of roses; a total of 14,000 plants of 150 different species.


Frogner Stadium and Frogner Open-Air Bath is located in one corner of the park, towards Majorstua. In the corner by Frogner plass, you find Frogner Manor House and Oslo City Museum. In the middle of the park is Vigeland Sculpture Park, Oslo's most visited attraction. 

Frogner Park has a summer-open café and a restaurant. And children can play in Norway's biggest playground, located between the main gates and Frogner Manor House.
