First Hotel Millennium is the perfect base for exploring Oslo’s many parks and green spaces. The city is full of beautiful oases where you can relax, stroll, or enjoy a picnic surrounded by art and nature. Start your park sightseeing at Vigelandsparken, the world’s largest sculpture park created by artist Gustav Vigeland. Here, you’ll find over 200 sculptures, including the famous Sinnataggen (The Angry Boy) and Monolitten, carved from a single block of granite.
Another must-see is Ekebergparken Sculpture Park, which combines striking contemporary art with panoramic views over the Oslofjord. Nearby, you can also visit Slottshagen, the park surrounding the Royal Palace, a popular spot for a relaxing walk in the city centre.
For a more tranquil experience, head to the Botanical Garden in Tøyen, home to over 5,500 plant varieties from around the world. The garden is a true green oasis, and within its grounds you’ll also find the Natural History Museum, featuring fascinating zoological and geological exhibitions.
Most of Oslo’s parks are free to visit and open 24 hours a day, year-round, making it easy to enjoy a touch of nature no matter the season.
