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.

Cariocas (Rio residents) are warm and physical — hugs and cheek-kisses are normal greetings.
