Oslo, Norway

Frognerparken Loop

Frognerparken is a classic European landscaped park and is one of the best places to run in Oslo. Located just 20–25 minutes walking distance outside downtown, Frognerparken was historically part of the Frogner Manor. There are 4-5 km of trails in the park, plus an adjoining cemetery where one could run around the perimeter. At Frogner stadion at the northeast corner of the park is a running track in summer and ice rink in winter.

The manor house is located in the south end of the 70 acre park, and houses the Oslo City Museum. The Gustav Vigeland sculpture park is at the park’s center ,where there’s a fountain and lovely gardens — part of Norway’s biggest collection of roses, plus 14,000 plants of 150 different species. In summer, there’s a public pool & outdoor bath (summer only). Visiting the museum could be a fun, and educational, break!
