No trip to Oslo would be complete without a visit to this wonderful example of modern architecture. I would perhaps go as far as saying that it puts the Sydney Opera House in the shade.

I fell in love with the design of this building. Very easy to climb up to the top of the roof, nice views from up there. I haven't actually been to any performance inside so can't comment on the acoustics.

A really beautiful building. I haven't seen any spectacle but the roof is possible to walk on and from the top you can get an amazing view of the city.

The architecture was worth seeing and it was really great to be able to walk up the roof top. The view of the water and the buildings were definitely worth seeing. It's just a 5 minute walk from Oslo Station.

If you find yourself with some extra time on your hands during your visit in Oslo, the opera house rooftop can make for an hour well spent. The building is fairly impressive and picturesque on its own. The view from the top is quite good. It's quite conveniently located (just about 5 minutes of walking from the central train station,...

The architecture was worth seeing and it was really special to be able to walk up the roof. The views on the water were definitely worth seeing, especially since it's just a 5 minute walk from Oslo S (Main station).

It's amazing getting the chance to go backstage. During our tour some ballerinas were warming up and it was fascinating just watching them, knowing how dedicated a dancer must be to have achieved the honor of being a performer here at the Opera House. I really enjoyed seeing the interior and learning about the architecture and design of the building.... More
