Walk on the roof at Oslo Opera House

Climbing on mountains seems a natural thing to do, why shouldn't this apply to buildings? At Oslo Opera house you can literally walk on the roof without getting arrested. This epic masterpiece is very iconic. While it acts as an eye-candy, its primary purpose is to showcase beautiful ballet and opera performances from all over the world. They update their website with upcoming performances.
Viking Ship Museum

If you (that's almost everyone) enjoyed childhood stories of Vikings then here's something you don't want to miss. This museum has preserved Viking ships Gokstad, Tune and Oseberg. If that's not enough, there are displays of skeletons found alongside the boats. Different domestic items such as carts, tools, jewellery and textiles from Vikings age are also exhibited here. After being mesmerized by the showcase you can purchase jewellery, books, wood carvings, posters, postcards and an even replica of the Viking ships at the museum store.
Explore the history at Akershus Fortress

Akershus Fortress is a great place to find out about the history of Olso. It is a royal castle modernised into a Renaissance castle and royal residence, situated in the city centre by the Oslo Fjord. Not much into historical facts? Not to worry, as fortress area is a popular venue for major events, including concerts, holiday celebrations and ceremonies.
Norsk Folkemuseum

What if we say that you can get a glimpse of a different region of Norway through different period under one single roof? Technically, not a roof, as Norsk folk museum is Europe's largest open-air museum that exhibits more than 140 traditional buildings. In summer, this museum offers freshly baked lefse (traditional Norwegian flatbread), demonstration of weaving, Pottery-making and other cultural activities. Visiting on a Sunday is a good idea as they have most activities on Sundays.
Cruise the Norwegian fjords

Norway's fjords are the country's greatest natural wonders, and a Norwegian cruise is the ultimate way to experience them. Hop aboard in Bergen, the gateway to the fjords, and marvel as you float gently past a landscape of mountains, valleys, glaciers and sheer cliffs that plunge dramatically into the sea.
