The elegant, leafy west end — stately apartment blocks, embassies, boutiques and the vast Vigeland sculpture park, with the ski jump and forest rising behind. Calm, well-heeled and pretty, a short tram or metro from the centre; a lovely, grown-up base away from the bustle.

On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 1.Vigeland Sculpture Park — The life's work of sculptor Gustav Vigeland — over 200 bronze and granite figures of human life, love and struggle set through a grand park, crowned by the towering Monolith of intertwined bodies. Extraordinary, free and open always; the single most memorable thing to see in Oslo.
- 7.Holmenkollen ski jump — The iconic ski jump soaring above the city, reached by a scenic metro ride up into the hills — a ski museum inside, a heart-stopping zip-line, and a viewing deck at the top with the whole city and fjord spread below. Spectacular in any season, and the gateway to the forest trails.
