Frognerparken
Kirkeveien, 0268 Oslo 1 h 30 min
Even though this is a place every tourist visits, locals use the park for everything. You can walk among the statues or find a spot in the rose garden when it's in bloom. There's plenty of space to wander aimlessly. The park changes with the seasons, so there's always something new to look at while you walk and talk.

What to order
Grab a coffee at Briskeby before you enter, and head towards the Monolith.
