In Oslo, there is a lot to see! From the modern day town to the wonderful museums, that aren't really like museums at all, but truly reflect (in life-size ) replicas and restorations of Viking boats and other Viking artifacts, to the Norsk Folkemuseum ( Norway's largest open air museum) to the Oslo Viking Ship Museum (and more) there is a lot of Viking excitement in the air.
