Take a seat and enjoy a thorough overview of Oslo on this relaxed coach tour that introduces you to the Norwegian capital’s most notable sites. Chief among them is Akershus, the city’s signature fortress built in 1299 but updated considerably since then.
Pass the Akershus Fortress which dates back to the 13th century, the famous Oslo Opera House and the brand-new Munch Museum, currently under construction. You get a glimpse of the so-called Barcode-area, the latest addition of office buildings, as well as the new library and many apartment houses in the area of Bjørvika. Passing through the inner-city tunnel you will further on see the Royal Palace, built in the first half of the last century and the residence of the Royal Family.
Drive by Vigeland Sculpture Park before beginning the climb up Holmenkollen Hill, sight of the former world-famous ski jumping arena. On clear days the view over the town and the Oslofjord is simply amazing.
Leaving Holmenkollen you will pass through residential areas back to the fjord and to the peninsula of Bygdøy, home of many well-known museums. After a photo stop along the fjord, your tour will conclude with a scenic drive up the Hill of Ekeberg for a fantastic view of the harbor, the fjord with its many islands and a large part of the town that stretches out in the valley below you. A scenic drive along the shoreline brings you back to the pier.
