The Norwegian National Opera & Ballet, Eastern Norway, Norway
4.5 (6.036 reviews) Sunday: 12:00 PM - 6:00 PM Spent Ranking #9 in Oslo Operas • Theaters
A must-see on a trip to Oslo
Definitely visit this if you are in Oslo. It's immense fun walking up on the roof, seeing the views and people-watching. Restaurants within are over-priced and over-rated with mediocre customer serice (having had drinks, snacks and a meal there) but there are plenty of other options in the surrounding area. Good accessibility, baggage storage and cloakroom areas. I loved the elegant but understated architecture both in and out. Attended Alexander Eckmans Swan Lake and did the behind the scenes tours. Both absolutely stunning.

Roof walking for great views
I had a few hours to kill in Oslo as i was heading to Bergen the following day, so i headed down to the Harbour area. The Oslo Opera House really stands out. It reminded my of the Sydney Opera House for some reason. Along with a lot of other people, i walked up on to the large roof incline which heads up to the top of the building, which is a great place to view that part of Oslo. Once back on the ground, i walked along the side of the building that faces the harbour and you can see inside many windows showing the artistic creations for the opera, such as clothing, masks, hats and wigs etc, which was a great touch!
