Enchanting Oslo's Fjords & Fortresses

Day 1  Oslo
Fly to Norway’s capital is a fascinating mix of old and new. Check into your hotel before setting off to explore Kvadraturen, the compact city centre. Wander the cobbled streets and pretty squares, getting acquainted with some of the city’s oldest buildings. This afternoon visit Akershus Castle, an imposing medieval fortress overlooking the harbour.

Day 2  Oslo
Today, embark on a cruise through the Oslo Fjord aboard a silent hybrid vessel. Your electricity run small ship, allows you to listen to the surrounding nature and wildlife providing a truly immersive experience. The tour will also be joined by a marine biologist who will share fascinating information. For the afternoon, perhaps visit the city’s bustling food courts. Start with Mathallen Food Hall where you will experience the best homegrown produce and finish the day at Vippa for some fresh seafood on the very edge of Oslofjord.

Day 3  Oslo
Begin your day with a visit to Frogner Park to explore the fascinating sculptures by Gustav Vigeland. Here 200 pieces of artwork display the human form, from young to old, with an abstract look at human life. Later, pay a visit to the Norwegian National Opera House. This unique building is a fascinating feat of design. Walk across the sloping roof and enjoy panoramic views of the city and fjords and if you have the time, why not learn about Norway’s most mythicized legacy at the Viking Ship Museum.
