Your guide will meet you on the pier for your overview of Oslo. Even though Oslo is a bustling city, its numerous parks and waterfront give it a very quaint feeling. Your guide will first take you to see the City Hall and view the ceremonial hall with its beautiful murals, including the largest oil painting in Europe. This is the location of the Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony every December.
Enjoy a stroll down Karl Johans Gate, the main thoroughfare of Oslo. This street contains many shops and places to eat. Storinget (the Norwegian Parliament), the University and numerous parks line the street. The street ends at the Royal Palace, which prominently sits on a hill.
Journey out to Vigeland Park. The park, named after sculptor Gustav Vigeland, contains 212 human sculptures, depicting all the stages of life. The main focal point of the park is the 56-foot-tall monolith, comprised of over 100 human figures all molded into one another.
You will also visit the Viking Ship Museum where three of the largest ships, the Oseberg, Gokstad, and Tune are housed. Found in royal burial mounds of Oslo, these well-preserved ships were used to carry the dead over to “the other world”.
