Things to do in Oslo include trips to Viking Ship Museum, which houses three Viking vessels and other artifacts. A guided tour of Stortinget--the seat of Norway's government--is possible for those interested in learning about the country's political history and struggle for independence. For those wishing to leave the city behind and spend some time jogging, biking, hiking, or swimming, Paradisbukta offers plenty of waterside space with lots of shade for picnics.
