Overlooking the marina, this statue represents The Genius of Navigation. First cast in 1801, it was destroyed during World War II but later restored and has stood proudly here ever since. Affectionately nicknamed "Cuverville" after an admiral of the same name, it also lends itself to the playful joke of "bum-facing-the-city" (Cul-vers-Ville).

Constructed around the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, in the north-western part of the Old City, the area is home to several Christian sights. Few houses can be found here — it's mostly about religious buildings, educational facilities, and a plethora of cafés, restaurants, and shops. The streets are packed with vendors. It is especially worth exploring the area of Mauristan, teeming with shops and colourful stalls. Used as a market during the Roman Empire, the area hosted churches and hospices during the Crusades (in Persian, "Mauristan" means hospital).

The double-towered building made of red bricks housing the city council, the city's administration, and various other municipal organisations is a major symbol of the city. The interiors are decorated with scenes of Norwegian culture, history, and working life from the first half of the 20th century. The ceremony for the Nobel Peace Prize awarding is held here every year.

Bygdøy is a beautiful peninsula not far from district Frogner. There are many popular museums here, but the peninsula is also a well-appreciated recreational area during the summer months, with beaches, hiking trails, and cycling paths.
