One of my hobbies during trips is to look for viewpoints to have the best panoramic views of the places I visit. Therefore, it is common for him to climb the terraces of emblematic buildings in cities.
Now, standing in front of a building and, simply walking, without climbing stairs or an elevator, reaching the roof to enjoy the panoramic views, I think it is only possible in the Oslo Opera.
This new iconic building of the Capital of norway has become one of the essential places on your visit, both for its original architecture and for the possibility of seeing some of the best panoramic views of the city.
La Oslo Opera It was inaugurated in 2008, and is the result of the curious design of the Norwegian architecture studio Snohetta.
It is located in front of the central railway station, in the modern neighborhood of Bjorvika, where office buildings are currently being built that are changing the image of the city in this area.
Together with oslo fjord, from the shore a huge marble platform Carrara white goes up a slope, and the modern glass building is integrated into it.
Visit Oslo Opera
When you access the Opera lobby, you will be struck by the contrast between the oak wood that covers the structure of the auditorium, with the large glass facades that allow all the light to enter.
El main auditorium, with 1.350 seats, offers the highest level of technology, to the point that on each backrest there is a screen that allows you to see the subtitles of the play that is performed in up to eight languages.
If you do not have the opportunity to see a performance, as was my case, you can enjoy the building by sitting in one of the bars, both indoors and with terraces, which are the center of attraction for visitors to the building.
But, above all, you must not stop climb to the roof of the Opera along the ramp of the stone platform that surrounds the building. From there you will have Panoramic views of this central neighborhood of Oslo, as well as the fjord and the mountains that surround it.
Since its inauguration, the Oslo Opera It has become the main cultural center of Norway.

To give you an idea of what this is going to be like essential walk when you visit the city, here is a gallery of photos of the Oslo Opera.
The building is truly wonderful. I don't know of any similar one in the world that has its roof sloping towards the water. And its interior, amazing.

It will probably be one of the places to visit in Oslo if I stop by on my next trip to the capital.
