Oslo City Walk (2)- Oslo Opera House

My first stop was the Oslo Opera House, about a 15-minute walk from my hotel. The Opera House was on the right side of the street, with the Oslo Main Library on the left. Located along the waterfront, the Oslo Opera House offers a stunning setting. I took a few photos, even capturing a friendly seagull that happened to be wandering around. From the Opera House, you can see the Munch Museum and a Ferris wheel in the background. I then began the essential walk up to the roof, pausing occasionally to take in the view of Oslo across the water. The Opera House features a large rooftop space, allowing you to explore without feeling crowded. Only at the very top is there a busier area, where visitors gather to enjoy the best views of the city across the river. Walking all over the Opera House roof was a unique experience—I took my time and thoroughly enjoyed it. After the Opera House, I visited the nearby Munch Museum. Following the museum visit, I headed toward Oslo City Hall, only to discover it was closed. I took a few photos there before continuing to City Hall Square along the waterfront. I walked along the shoreline, snapping photos as I went, passing by the Nobel Peace Center, the National Museum, the Astrup Fearnley Museum, and finally Tjuvholmen Sculpture Park, where many people were relaxing on the lawn, enjoying the sunshine with friends and family. Somehow, I found myself back across from the Opera House for a different perspective and took a few more pictures. From there, I passed the Main Library on my way to Oslo Central Station, where I took more photos. I then returned to the library and spent some time exploring inside.
