You will take your flight to Oslo where you will be met and transferred by coach to the hotel.
After breakfast we embark on a sightseeing tour of Oslo. Norway’s relatively small capital city is a beguiling mix of the old and the new, featuring world-class museums, cutting-edge contemporary architecture and beautiful open spaces. We’ll see the imposing Royal Palace, the nearby Ibsen Museum and the famed Vigeland sculpture park. We then reach the peninsula of Bygdøy and Oslo’s most popular attraction – the Viking Ship Museum. This houses two incredible 1000-year old oak Viking longships in a remarkable state of preservation. From here you may walk to see two other fascinating museums: the unmissable Kon-Tiki Museum contains the actual reed and balsawood crafts used by Norwegian adventurer Thor Heyerdahl on his landmark expeditions to recreate ancient man’s theoretical voyages in the 1950s. Next door is the Polar exploration ship Fram, used by Roald Amundsen on his journey to Antarctica. The rest of the day is free for you to explore this charming city with the use of the Oslo Pass, which allows free entry to the city’s main museums and galleries, plus unrestricted travel on all public transport.
