TOUR DESCRIPTION
 

Oslo Shore Excursion

This private Oslo shore trip enjoys a walking tour in Oslo's historic center, a visit to the famous Gustav Vigeland Sculpture Park and a stop at the best view point over Oslo at Holmenkollen Ski Center. You also enjoy a driving tour through modern Oslo.

After meeting your guide at the pier you start with a walk through the historic center of Oslo. The main buildings of not only the city but also the country are concentrated here - the Parliament, the National Theater, the University, the Royal Palace, and others. Norway is a country in which, along with the parliament, there is also a monarchy. You will learn how these two branches of government exist in a modern country. A walk along the main street of the city will provide an opportunity to see the daily life of the inhabitants of the capital of Norway.

Next you drive to up to Holmenkollen which is home to the world famous Ski Jump which is often visited by both locals and international tourists. Skiing is a major part of Norwegian life and this place is the center of its history. While you are here you enjoy the best view point over the city of Oslo, from 1600 feet above sea level. If you are interested, it is possible to enjoy a short ride on the ski jump simulator which gives you the sensation of being an Olympic ski jumper.

From Holmenkollen you drive to the Vigeland Sculpture Park, one of Norway's most visited sites. This unique sculpture park is the life work of the sculptor Gustav Vigeland (1869-1943). Included are more than 200 sculptures in bronze, granite and cast iron. The artist also designed the architectural outline of the park which is a monumental artistic creation with a human message that is well worth seeing.

On the way back to the pier your drive through some of Oslo's modern districts where you can see the yacht harbor, the Opera and Ballet Theater, the modern Munch Museum and more.
