Oslo Insider Tip

Vigeland Park is free and open 24/7 — 212 bronze and granite sculptures by Gustav Vigeland covering the full range of human emotion. The T-bane (metro) goes almost everywhere and doubles as a museum on wheels through the city's modernist station art.

Paris Insider Tip

Always greet shopkeepers with 'Bonjour' when entering. The French value politeness above all.
