For the second week of travel week, a friend and I hopped aboard an overnight ferry to Norway to explore more of Scandinavia. I quickly discovered that Oslo is a really cool city, mainly for the architecture. Our first stop was the opera house, a beautiful structure that invites you to climb to the top of the roof and overlook the river and city.
Whilst exploring the city, we stumbled into the hip, artsy district Grünerløkka, home to lots of amazing street art. 
As a close second to my favorite part of Oslo, we ventured past the royal palace and through the more affluent part of town to Vigelandsparken Sculpture Park, which features 212 sculptures by Gustav Vigeland.
As if it isn’t already cool enough, Oslo is in the process of building up the modern district by the harbor. The architecture was amazing: futuristic but still tasteful. 
The downfall of traveling to Norway is that it rains almost every day and everything is very expensive, like when you find yourself starving after a day of wondering, and think, “Oh! They have hamburgers for NOK 175 (roughly $30), that’s so cheap!” It was a delicious burger though…
