Discovering Oslo, Capital of Norway

Upon arrival of your cruise, pickup by our guide at the port, identified with the Shore2Shore sign.

Oslo is the capital of Norway and is located in the center of Scandinavia. It is one of the oldest cities in this region and the only one with an urban settlement dating back to the age of the Vikings.

The city is beautifully situated between the Oslo Fjord and the green wooded hills. The entire inner part of the Oslo Fjord is being redeveloped as part of the expansion of Fjordbyen (the Fjord City), a project aimed at opening the city to the fjord.

It is one of the greenest and most ecological cities in the world, offering everything expected from a major city: a rich cultural life, shopping opportunities, and a restaurant scene unmatched throughout Scandinavia.

After leaving the port, we will begin a panoramic tour passing through the main streets and squares of Oslo: the City Hall, the political and administrative headquarters of the Norwegian capital, it is one of the most emblematic buildings of the capital and the place where the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded every year. The Parliament (Storting), inaugurated on March 5, 1866, and home to the Norwegian National Assembly, is a place worth visiting and enjoying its surroundings, full of gardens with beautiful flowers. The National Theatre, located in the center of Oslo, is one of the most important architectural and cultural landmarks of Norway, inaugurated in 1899 and situated between a large avenue and the busy Karl Johans Gate street, near the Royal Palace and the old university. It is a neoclassical style building whose interior houses elements belonging to Art Nouveau, highlighting the fine paintings on the auditorium ceiling. Finally, we will approach the Royal Residence.

Next, we will visit Vigeland Park to admire the works of the famous sculptor it is named after, with more than 200 sculptures in bronze, granite, and wrought iron symbolizing the different stages of human life.

At the end of the excursion, we will return to the port for the farewell.
