Oslo is the capital city of Norway, located in the southern region of the country. There are many beautiful green spaces within the city of Oslo, such as Frogner Park and Vigeland Sculpture Park, and lots of history to be explored. In the Viking Ship Museum, visitors can learn about the earliest inhabitants of Norway, their culture, and their means of travel via long wooden ships. There is also the Akershus Fortress, an historic 13th structure along the water's edge of the fjord that has been used over the century for protection, as a royal palace, and even as a prison. The Fram Museum has exhibits on polar exploration, and at Holmenkollbakken, the world's oldest ski jump, visitors can learn about the history of the sport at the Ski Museum.
