Oslo, Norway

Welcome to Norway! First stop: Norway's thriving capital, Oslo. The city has a sheltered position deep inside Oslofjord and is surrounded by glistening lakes. Arrive in Oslo from your international flight and make your own way from the airport or train station to your hotel. The day is spent at your leisure, exploring the many charms the cosmopolitan capital has to offer. Why not make your way to the city center, taking snaps of the architecturally distinct Radhuset town hall, Royal Palace, and Oslo Cathedral. Along the waterfront, there's Aker Brygge, a popular area to eat out at, the imposing Akershus Fortress, and the gleaming new buildings around Bjorvika waterfront. The latter is where you'll find modern attractions such as the landmark new Edvard Munch Museum. In the evening, meet the rest of your tour group and your guide at a welcome dinner. Overnight in Oslo. ...

Oslo, Norway
  • Oslo, Norway
After breakfast, we'll go on an Oslo grand city tour that may include some of the attractions you might have had time to see yourself on your first day but also a few sights located further away. The Oslo Opera House is perhaps the capital's most iconic building, resembling a gleaming glacier floating in the water. Wander along its clean lines, admire the dramatic angles, and marvel at the white marble that covers its exterior. Vigeland Sculpture Park is located at the center of splendid Frogner Park. There, you'll find more than 200 visually striking sculptures in bronze, granite, and cast iron by prolific Norwegian artist Gustav Vigeland. The highlight of the sculptures is the monolith that rises several feet high. Further north from Vigeland, just outside of Oslo, is Holmenkollen Ski Jump. You won't be doing any jumping yourself, but the impressive building enjoys panoramic views over the city, lakes, and fjord. Beneath the ski jump is also the world's oldest ski museum featuring 2,500 pairs of skis and 4,000 years of skiing history. After the tour, you'll return to your hotel in Oslo to spend the night. ...
