Morning in Oslo

After spending the night in a suburban hotel, we start exploring the Norwegian capital early in the morning. Most of Oslo is not much different from small Norwegian cities and is built up with low-rise wooden houses, surrounded by greenery.

Among the traditional buildings, there are numerous public areas with children's and sports grounds.

On the outskirts, you can also find multi-storey "bedroom" quarters built in the sixties, they are neat and functional, but without architectural excesses.

Ultramodern buildings such as the business center at Bygdøylokket Square are emerging closer to the center.

I want to say that there is a lot of futuristic architecture in Oslo, and it is one of the main features of the city. At the same time, buildings made of metal and glass are perfectly combined with classical architecture.

On the shore of Frognerkilen Bay, the mansions of foreign embassies are hidden behind high hedges.

Then we go through the streets of the Frogner district, which adjoins the city center from the west.

Even though it's early in the morning, all the shops are already open.

And the office audience is already in a hurry to do business.

Eco-friendly urban transport of the future is already commonplace in Scandinavia. There are quite a lot of small electric cars on the streets, which are very convenient in a large city. Charging stations are equipped right in the parking lots of shops and offices.

Solly Square with a tramway interchange built in the form of a fountain.

Next to the tram stop, you can see the sculpture "Man with a Key" by the famous French sculptor Auguste Rodin. There are a lot of sculptural masterpieces in the Norwegian capital. Today we will get acquainted with the most significant of them by visiting the Vigeland Sculpture Park and other objects.

But first of all, we will get acquainted with modern architectural masterpieces located on the shore of the Bay of Bjorvik, where our way lies.
