Winter transformed Oslo's sculpture park into a magical wonderland. Snow adorned the sculptures, turning them into glistening masterpieces. The serene white landscape enhanced the artistic allure, creating a serene ambiance. Braving the cold, I discovered a unique beauty, where art and winter collaborated to craft an enchanting and tranquil atmosphere.

A must see when visiting Oslo. Tranquil park with beautiful statues in various (strange) poses. Take your time to walk around and observe the details of the statues. No entrance fee to pay, just roam around for free!

This park is a true gem of Oslo! Take the time to enjoy the sculptures and the beautiful surroundings. We really enjoyed the various sculptures and of course the monolith with stunning views all around. Highly recommend you take the trip. Easy 2-3 mile walk from the opera house.

If you want to see the nice and interesting sculpture you must visit this place. So huge and naturally. I love this park so much that I visit every time when I visit Oslo.

Vigeland Park / The Monolith The sculpture depicts 121 human figures clinging and floating together. There's women and men of different ages, and the top of the Monolith is crowned with children. The sculpture has been interpreted as a kind of vision of resurrection, and our longing and striving for spirituality. Vigeland Park is within Frognerparken (Frogner Park), the largest public park in Oslo. A popular spot in all weathers, Frogner Park also has an open-air pool, a cafe and restaurant, plus the biggest playground in Norway and the biggest collection of roses in the country, with 14,000 plants of 150 species. It is the largest sculpture park by a single artist in the world, with more than 200 sculptures in bronze, granite and cast iron by acclaimed Norwegian sculptor Gustav Vigeland, whose realistic work represents the cycle of human life and all its emotions.

Absolutely beautiful park that’s easily accessible via public transport. The park itself is very large, relaxing, and peaceful. Highly recommended to everyone.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful park. Must visit in Oslo. Park is too big and easily reachable by tram. It has multiple entries and exit. Some of the small cafe also available. It is mostly wheel chair friendly and plenty of sitting area for picnic. The statues are just out of this world. You can not compare the beauty with any other park. There is some museum also you can visit where do you see more statues. I would recommend 2-3 hours minimum spend here to explore everything. It is always crowded so pick your timing accordingly. It is free to visit the park.

It is really nice park, especially in sunny days you can enjoy the sun while observing Gustav’s sculptures. There are some of my favorites. It is recommended to go there via tram or electronic scooters :)

I love such places. Full of nature and art. Clean and perfectly cut grass everywhere. You can see the tremendous amount of work put into this place. Very nice and inventive sculptures, everyone sees something different in them. They stimulate the human imagination. Everything is thoughtful and interesting there. You can calm down and relax here, and it is difficult to find such places in the capital. For families with children, couples and solo people, it's also cool that a lot of people sit here on blankets and have a picnic, play games and sports, which is why there is so much energy here.

Visited while it was still raining in Oslo yesterday. But it stopped while we were there. A rather expansive park with great sculptures and vistas. Highly recommended for a visit.

Nice and huge park, a must visit during winter if you like winter wonderlands. The thing that ruined the experience a bit for me was the presence of too many dogs not on leash that were peeing and pooping everywhere. There should be stricter rules on cleanliness for dog owners

Absolutely gorgeous park. I came here on a chilly day in autumn and had a wonderful time wandering the park among the statues and flowers. It's beautifully designed, with lots of little areas to sit and relax. I read for a little on a bench in a nook until my hands got too cold. The sculptures are so expressive and very interesting to look at. It seems like the perfect place to visit on a sunny day for a picnic.

Norway's most popular tourist attraction, and a park area loved by the locals. The sculpture park is the world's largest, made by a single artist.

Creative and special kind of art, absolutely loved it.

Vast park with interesting statues. The cafe is delightful. Clean, well maintained but rather busy for a Monday mid morning. Lots of tourist groups snapping pictures with nude statues.

Free of entry. Large and Well maintained park with lot of sculptures. One of the tourists worth of visit places in Oslo. Every sculpture is a peace of art. I enjoyed the visit. To see all sculptures and visit Park it would take 20min.

A really amazing place to visit the different sculptures! The place is well maintained and windy! Really a nice place for picnic. We took quite a fair bit of time to find the “Angry Boy” sculpture. Haha! But it’s a good experience. I will definitely be back again!

Der Vigelands Park mit den Monolithen und Skulpturen ist einfach sehenswert. Eine schöne Stadt, sehr sauber, mit vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten ist nicht in zwei Tagen zu schaffen. Unsere Reiseführerin (Studentin) hat uns so viel erzählt, Steuern, Krankenversicherung, die vielen Bars. Also kommen wir noch mal wieder.

Spectacular huge sculpture garden. Open 24/7. Go early in the morning to avoid crowds. The detail on some of these sculptures was unbelievable so much emotion and story displayed in them. Acessible via public transit and Hop On Hop Off bus.

One of the best Sculptures parks I have ever visited. No entry fee. A huge collection of Great Sculptures made of stones, metals with deep meaning and emotions. I fully recommend visiting this place.

Interesting Park to walk about to look and study the well carved statues. Their actions , expressions and emotions are awesome!!! We stop by its Apen Kafe for some food. Certainly must visit while in Oslo !!

This is a must see if you are in Oslo. I am not really a sculpture fan but the ark is home to the most amazing collection of human studies. Your approach to the central obelisk (if thats the right description is lined with stidies of the human form. I noticed a pattern, but i might be wrong, so don’t be led by this… It looks like the statues take you through stages of life - childhood, youth, parent and grandparents. Either way - the whole place is totally amazing. We went in the winter (February) so it might be very busy in the summer. You’ll see from my photos though that you shouldn’t be frightened off by the cold or snow. I think it added to the experience.

Huge Park! It was a very nice park, the sculptures are impressive! there was some ice/snow but they cleaned most of the part where people could walk through it.. it's free..

Vigeland is a place on the list that recommend to come when you visit Oslo, this is a magnificent place with a lot of statues, which display people without covers. The architect of the parks is not only special by the statues, also the designed gates, how the tree lines are planted, unlimited view. This is a good place to walk, to talk, exercise, especially enjoy the nature. Norway and Norweigian is master in connection with mother nature, you ‘ll feel it.

Beautyful statues in a great and quiet park. Ideal on a cool day when it's not raining, to get away from the city noises. Free entrance, toilets are paid and kept very clean.

One of the best park in oslo. Its the real depiction of human feelings and emotions of humans. Artist Gaustad was a real hero. Simply amazing

Must see in Oslo. Take a walk throu the park and enjoy the statues. It's a 30 Minutes walk from the city. Tram line 12 will bring you there, too. Minus: a load of tourists with selfiesticks. Plus: Nature, a nice walk on the fresh air and beautiful statues.

Good experience with the great norwegian sculptor Gustav Vigeland

Nice place in Oslo to relax and have a fun. Great spot for picnics with family.

The park has different look in 4 seasons. I like the one in the winter which is covered with snow. Also, there are lots of children sliding down the snow hills. It’s definitely a good place to visit with kids.

You cannot go to Oslo and not go to the Vigeland Park... I went there in December 2021, the light in the sky was truly amazing and it was magical with the snow. Vigeland's art is not for every taste but as for me, I loved it and the park is really nicely arranged. The pictures speak for themselves.

The sculpture park is Gustav Vigeland's life work, comprising over 200 sculptures in granite, bronze and wrought iron. Good place for a nice evening walk.

Really big and nice statue park. I never seen so many sculptures at one place. I would love to walk my dog in place like this. Every statue has a deeper meaning. Really cool park.

- Really amazing and you can spend the whole day there - I went in the winter - free entrance - good for Picinic

A green oasis in the city 🏙🌳 Lovely for a walk 🐾 with lots of paths and space for a relaxing atmosphere 😌 If you’re into art and sculptures there’s lots of things to check out and admire 🗿 It was quite a lot of school classes and small children when I visited 👧👦 and of course it’s a popular place for selfies, me included 🧸🤳😉

A must see here in Oslo for locals and tourists. The park is really clean and full of statues of Vigeland that represents stages of life: youth, adulthood, happiness, sadness and life itself. Absolutely recommended!

Stunning!! Don't miss it if you visit Oslo, regardless of the season.

Great place to visit when in the Great Oslo area. Extremely grateful walking around this huge park. Famous sculptures from August Vigeland are all over the park. Good training walking around if you want that also. Totally recommend coming with the most comfortable shoes you have. And bring something tasty to enjoy a good picnic.

Beautiful and huge park. You should go and see. The park is free of charge but not the museum.

Beautiful park and beautiful statues

Really nice park in oslo, free to visit. I think the big monument it the most famous art piece in the park, though the whole park is filled with many different statues. Definitely worth giving the meaning/history a read. Not too sure if there were bathrooms available bit I would imagine so, it's a big park.

Drammen

Stunning park, the sculptures were great. We were blessed with beautiful weather which just made it even prettier! So well maintained and clean, with plenty of places to sit and take it all in!

One of the top highlights of my Oslo trip -- I'm an arts dummy and was fascinated by the sculptures here. Free admission and I took the number 12 tram directly here from city centre.

An excellent park! Lots to see and lots to take great pictures of!!! It's fun to pose like statutes and take pictures. It's a stunning garden, so just walking around is just simply enjoyable. It's free too! Highly recommended to visit!

This sculpture park is a must-see. Warning - the sculptures are all human forms and anatomically correct. Prudes should not be here. There are fantastic stories about this art, so you will benefit by researching him.

What a brilliant design for a park. It is like an open air art museum with amazing sculptures from Gustav Vigeland. The man had skill and imagination beyond possible. Definitely a must visit when in Oslo. There is also a big fountain in the middle aside from the vast green space offered part of the park.

I didn't expect to like the sculptures as much as I did; they are more impressive in person. Something fundamental to humanity is captured in them, and like all art, your reaction to them may say more about you than anything else.

I almost skipped this because it is a bit out of the way from the main strip, but boy am I glad I didn’t. Dozens of sculptures and engravings depicting humans in various forms and with different relationships to the self and other. I haven’t seen that wife of a variety of sculpture themes together like that.

Beautiful garden, easy to get to via public transport. The sculptures are much fun -- humans in so many different poses. Some serious, some playful. An enjoyable few hours.

Very beautiful park. It happens to be a little bit too crowded so be prepared for that. Coffee shop and toilets are located nearby. You can get there by a bus or a tram. Free entry.

maybe the best open air art park i have ever visited. The sculptures are really nice to watch an analyse, even for non artsy people the topic presented here could be interesting. Must visit in Oslo!

A very different park than the ones we normally see. Whole park is one big canvas, every statue tells a story. Its free so should definitely talk a walk or cycle through if you are in Oslo.

This public park is the home of one of the largest sculpture gardens in the world! The sculptures are by the famous Norwegian artist, Gustav Vigeland, and are all equally beautiful and amazing. The bridge is a great place for photos, and many of the statues are famous. Plan a little time here to stroll around and look at everything, as well as time for plenty of photos. It can be a little crowded in spots on busy days or weekends, as it is a popular tourist site. There is no charge for entrance.

September 2023 The Google search and map took us there via the Back entrance. Damn. We had a good day after some rain at the start of our journey. Love the open garden, few old buildings at the distance. The stone statues are awesome to view. In between makes your minds wonder. It's amazing artist view and workmanship. Need about 1.5 hrs to walk about to view the garden, building and statues. The public toilet near the coffee shop. It's about Euro2/-. The government need to look into reducing this cost to Zero. It's extremely expensive.

An interesting area to walk around if you want to enjoy the Oslo weather as a chilled pace. The statues are unique and equal parts intriguing and baffling.

A monumental place. A lot of space. Beautiful nature. There are many different sculptures that you can look at for a long time and still find something new.

Oslo, autumn in Vigelandsparken, have to see place in Oslo !

Beautiful place to visit. Each sculpture tells a story...

The Vigeland Park is the best and the biggest park in Oslo. The nature and sculptures are fantastic. I were there in early spring and in summer and the colours were great. I highly recommend to visit this incredible place

An open exhibition at the heart of Oslo displaying the 200+ sculptures and artistic installations that were crafted by Vigeland over the span of two decades.

The most magnificent park in Norway 🇳🇴

Very pretty walking tour. The statues are a must-see when in Oslo.

Very beautiful

Nice weird statues.

The park is beautiful, interesting statues. It is good to make exercise or only to shot down. Much green ... wonderful place.

Thought provoking scenes of statues men women children plants and animals. With the obelisk at centre - what's that about? Hierarchy? It was cold I was ill but the visual spectacle of the statues was well worth the 50 minutes walk there. Thank you

One of the best visiting place in Oslo. If you do not visit Vigelands park, then you are not in oslo. A best place for recreation. Entrance free.

Beautiful park 🌳🌲 Not only nature but also culture n art with Vigeland granite, bronze n cast iron statues all around n beautiful monolite.The sculpture depicts 121 human figures clinging and floating together. There's women and men of different ages, and the top of the Monolith is crowned with children. The sculpture has been interpreted as a kind of vision of resurrection, and our longing and striving for spirituality. Sculpture park in the Frogner Park with more than 200 sculptures by Gustav Vigeland (1869–1943) in bronze, granite and cast iron, including The Angry Boy (Sinnataggen in Norwegian), The Monolith (Monolitten) and The Wheel of Life (Livshjulet). Vigeland was also responsible for the design and architectural outline of the park, which is one of Norway's top tourist attractions, with more than one million annual visitors. The park is free to enter and open all year round, 24 hours a day.

Very nice park but a bit crowded

A huge park with original sculptures. Even more beautiful in the snow.

Huge incredible park.

A huge park with many beautiful sculptures.

(Translated by Google) The most beautiful park I've ever been to.. I loved the sculptures, the silence, the landscape, the gates, the flowers... Amazing! Lucky for those who can visit it whenever they want! (Original) O parque mais lindo que já estive.. amei as esculturas, o silêncio, a paisagem, os portões, as flores... Maravilhoso! Sorte de quem pode visitá-lo sempre que quiser!

Amazing analysis of human emotions as seen by the artist.

(Translated by Google) 4 stars. Not my morals. (Original) 4 gwiazdki. Nie moje klimaty moralności.

It's worth the visit. The 212 statues realized from Vigeland are all naked, for the artist not to become outdated, but always present. They describe all different human life phrases and family relationships.

They miss some Soviet sculptures )))) Maybe they could buy it from Baltic countries, they've destroyed plenty recently

A must in Oslo!

Interesting sculptures! Nice place

Tolle Sehenswürdigkeit, unglaubliche Details. Leider spielte das Wetter nicht mit. Aber auf jeden Fall ein Besuch wert

Mon lieu osloïte de prédilection 🥰🥰🥰

Its nice when its sunny out

Wonderful history and well maintained park

Tweemaal er geweest en twee keer enorm van genoten. Prachtig hoe dit levenswerk tot stand is gekomen. In het begin van de twintigste eeuw. Ontzettend mooi. Jammer dat Noorwegen een duur land is, anders zou ik er met heel veel energie terug heen gaan. Nu ben ik gepensioneerd, toen ik het bezocht was ik een jonge man. Absolute aanrader als je van beeldhouw werk houdt

Very impressed by the 200+ sculptures. All very thoughtfully made. From young to old, perplexing poses, nice combination and laid out neatly throughout the park. And all naked so that it is timeless. Brilliant pieces of Art. 👍👍👍

A huge park. Very nice on a nice warm day to relax and look at all the fun sculptures. We enjoyed the expressions and poses. Capturing the humanity of us all.

Unusual statues but pretty to look at

Neat and beautiful..But on weekends it can be over crowded with tourista

A place for peace, relaxation and simply enjoying.

Amazing park with statues throughout. Takes an hour or two to explore the park. Toilets are chargeable at around 20NOK. Has a nice cafe inside and the park is amazing.

Very interesting place to visit. It’s not just a touristic place to go. You can hike/run after you visit the sculptures. There is a very cute coffee shop at the entrance too.

Probably our favourite landmark in Oslo. This park is so pretty and the sculptures are amazing. Great for a morning/afternoon walk. The park is free to visit and you can get there easily using public transport from Oslo city centre (we used the Ruter app to get tickets).

Nestled within the grounds of Frogner Park, the installation of Vigeland sculptures is one of Oslo’s premier attractions. Although locals and tourists tend to refer to the area using separate monikers (I.e. “Frogner” vs. “Vigeland” Park) it is equally popular among both and the two are essentially indistinguishable. The works of art were created by Gustav Vigeland and completed between 1907 and 1942. The 214 bronze and granite sculptures cover an area of 80 acres and are accessible 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. There is no entrance fee. Initially, this wasn’t on my list of “things to do” but thanks to the SAS strike granting me a few more days in the city I passed through here on multiple occasions. The first was a more thorough, somewhat regimented visit starting at the main gate and continuing down the 930-yard main axis. The Children’s Circle was the first stop before crossing The Bridge on the way to The Fountain and Monolith, with a visit to The Sundial completing the survey. I then branched out a bit to see The Clan to the northeast and The Triangle to the southwest. Several future visits were spent returning to particular sculptures I found of interest or merely wandering around the various areas of the park before having dinner at The Manor restaurant or visiting the associated museum (see separate review). People watching is a must, as is watching the sun rise or set (or ideally both). In summary, it is easy to see why this is the country’s most visited tourist attraction. It can be appreciated on multiple levels: as a green space with pretty surroundings, a place for quiet contemplation in the off-hours, an academic exercise in artistic expression, etc. One could spend an entire day just studying the bronze reliefs around the fountain’s outer edge or the granite-carved groups around the monolith, or spend a half-day having a family picnic and throwing a frisbee around. My advice? Pick your routine and enjoy. Or just show up and go with the flow. Or both. Either way, it’s a fantastic experience.

This is absolutely an amazing place to go!! When you get here and realize everything here was made by Vigeland and that this was his life’s work it is somewhat mind blowing. Make sure to stop by here.

It is located right in the centre of Oslo city. It is world's largesr sculptures park by same artist Gustav Vigeland. There are about 200 hundred of them. If you watch them very closely, it shows entire life of a human being, right from birth to death. It has got a lot of depth in to it. No doubut, it's one of the most popular attraction of Oslo. At the same time it's a great place just lie down on grass and relax for few hours specially in summer. Worth seeing...

Nice, large park with plenty of places to walk and bike, but not really any major sights of note (the Sculpture Museum Monolitten is super far away).

The highlight of Oslo for us. Definitely worth the visit

A wonderful park with exquisite pieces of sculpture, open to the public for free access by demand of the artist himself.

Come for the sculptures. But if you're here for a while, it's a great place to picnic, to bask in the sun, or to just sit in a bench and relax or chat

Really big outdoor space in the city. Great for dog walking or a run, or simply chilling out. Sculptures everywhere like an outdoor gallery. And it's FREE!

Amazing garden.

Enjoyed the statues found throughout. The fountain exhibit was very cool. An easy walk from if your staying in the Karl Johan Gate area. Lots going on, obvious tourists sightseeing, outdoor exercise classes, joggers, at least one large playground area and expansive walking paths with well tended garden like areas.

Without a doubt one of the most imposing parks. It is a magnificent sight when you approach it. Each sculpture is a story in itself. Don't miss the tour. It's clean.

One of the best parks I've visited. Never seen so many sculptures in a park which was great. Some were playful,some serious. This park is a must visit if you go in Oslo

Visiting from New York City. Extremely exciting sculptures and concepts. I visited here on a Sunday perhaps the best day possible. The vibe and the cafe located on site was dreamy and very nice. Definitely worth the trip from downtown Oslo.

Fantastic spot and must do if you are in Oslo. Gustav Vigeland made all the 200 plus sculptures to depict the Cycle of Life. Possibly one of the best sculpture collections in a most serene setting. And it’s free … tram 11, 12 or 13 from city Center.

Ein wunderbarer Park, der bei einem Aufenthalt in Oslo unbedingt besucht werden sollte. Für Familien ist in jeder Altersklasse etwas dabei. Große Spielplätzen mit vielen anderen Kindern, einige Grünflächen, Brunnen, Toiletten, Restaurants und Badespaß. Das Highlight sind allerdings die über 100 Statuen von nicht-bekleideten Menschen, die überall ausgestellt sind. Es ist Sonnenschutz zu empfehlen, denn viele Statuen und vor allem die Säule aus Menschen und der Ring aus Menschen bieten keinen Schutz vor Sonne.
