Oslo Tiger

Hey there, fellow explorer! Welcome to Oslo, and you're in for a treat because I'm about to introduce you to one of our city's most beloved landmarks - the Tiger statue right outside Oslo Central Station. Trust me, you can't miss it!

This magnificent bronze beast has been guarding our main railway station since 1994, and it's become quite the celebrity. Standing proud at 4.5 meters tall, our tiger is a sight to behold. There's a whole story behind why we've got a tiger in a city that's, well, not exactly known for its wild feline characters!

The Tiger City: Oslo's Quirky Nickname

Well, it all goes back to a nickname our city picked up in the 1870s. Back then, a popular poet named Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson referred to Oslo (then called Christiania) as "Tigerstaden" or "The Tiger City." It wasn't a compliment, though - he was criticizing the city for being a cold, dangerous place.

But you know what? We Oslovians have a great sense of humor. Instead of getting offended, we embraced the nickname! Over time, "Tigerstaden" became a term of endearment, symbolizing Oslo's spirit - confident, proud, and a bit wild at heart.

The Tiger Statue: A Modern Icon

Fast forward to 1994, and our city decided to make this nickname concrete (or bronze, in this case). The tiger statue, created by Elena Engelsen, was placed right in front of the central station. It's become the perfect meeting spot and a fantastic photo stop for tourists and locals alike.

Fun Facts About Our Feline Friend

The tiger weighs a whopping 4.5 tons - that's like 4-5 cars!

It's hollow inside, which is why you might hear it "roar" on windy days as the air whistles through it.

Local kids love to climb on it (though we don't officially encourage this for safety reasons).

During holidays, you might spot the tiger wearing a scarf or a hat - we Oslovians love dressing it up!

Your Gateway to Oslo Adventures

Now, here's a pro tip from your friendly local: the tiger is more than just a cool statue. It's the perfect starting point for your Oslo adventure! From here, you can:

Hop on a guided tour of the city - many start right here.

Take a short walk to Karl Johans gate, our main shopping street.

Head to the nearby Opera House for some stunning architecture.

Explore the vibrant Grünerløkka neighborhood, just a tram ride away.

So, whether you're here for sightseeing, shopping, or just soaking in the Oslo vibe, make sure to say hi to our tiger. It's not just a statue - it's a symbol of Oslo's spirit, and now you're part of its story too! Enjoy your time in our Tiger City!
