We visited the city of Oslo. The city stands out for being very clean, it is modern but at the same time it conserves traditional elements.

The main shopping street Karl Johans is not crowded. We are surprised by two policemen on bicycles who help a homeless person to get up.

We reach the Castle Park, Slottsparken. Hundreds of people sunbathing in the gardens enjoying this wonderful climate.

Next stop is the Oslo City Hall, although on the outside it is a brown brick building the interior will surprise you. The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded here every year.

We approached the Norwegian People's Museum, we did not enter but just seeing the wonderful wooden building of the Wooden Church of Gol makes it worthwhile.
