Oslo might not be top of mind for a vacation like other European cities, but it is one of the best bets for kid-friendly fun in an urban setting. Children love running around the roof of the stunning opera house and spotting the boats heading out from the beautiful waterfront. Mimic all the sculptures and pose for photos in the whimsical Vigeland Sculpture Park, or take the art admiration indoors at the National Museum. And that’s just the start of the museum options in Oslo; others focus on Vikings, maritime history, skiing and the Nobel Peace Prize. Consider a modern hotel with kid-friendly appeal on Oslo’s redeveloped waterfront area, with easy access to all the attractions.
