Top Parks in Norway

My advice is to keep an eye out for the less popular sculptures. Some of them have unique stories that can make your visit even more interesting. I found a few hidden gems with cool backgrounds!

Wear comfy shoes. You’ll be walking a lot more than you expect and the paths can be uneven. Trust me, your feet will thank you later.

I recommend hitting the park early around 9 AM. It’s way less crowded, so you can snap those perfect shots and enjoy the sculptures without people blocking your view

Consider downloading an app or printing a map before you go. The park is big and it’s easy to end up walking in circles if you're not sure where you’re headed.

If you're keen on snagging a spot on the beach, get there by 10 AM on weekends. It gets super packed after that!

I found that bringing my own food and drinks saved a bunch of cash, since the nearby cafes can be pricey.

Consider getting a national park pass if you're planning to do more than one hike. It could save you money compared to paying for each trail solo. I wish I had done that!

I suggest downloading a map or a trail app before you go. The signage can be a bit tricky in places, and trust me, wasting an hour going in circles isn't fun.

Make sure to bring your own snacks and water! I thought I’d find more options on the trails, but most of the spots don’t have shops. It really saves $$ too.

My advice is to bring a camera. The gardens are gorgeous, especially in spring. I missed some great shots because I was too busy just walking around. Plan to explore and take your time.

I suggest visiting Sofienberg Park on a weekday morning. The park is quieter, and you can really soak in the scenery without the weekend crowd. Plus, you'll snag the best spots for photos!

I suggest bringing a picnic and enjoying it near the water, it's a perfect spot to chill. I spent a bit on snacks inside but they weren't that great. Pack your own!
