    Emanuel Vigeland Museum

    Visit the Emanuel Vigeland Museum. Wander through the dark corridors to see the 800 square meter fresco "Vita" and the mausoleum above the door. The lack of windows creates a profound, timeless atmosphere.

    Curry and Ketchup

    Walk 15 minutes to Curry and Ketchup. This is a cheap, popular Indian restaurant that is often full on weekends. It is the perfect spot to grab a warm, hearty meal before heading out. Note that they are cash only.

    Frogner and Vigeland park

    Stroll 38 minutes south to Frogner and Vigeland park. The walk takes you through a large green area. Arrive just in time to find a quiet bench or path as the golden light begins to fade and the sun sets toward the southwest.
