Description:

Discover Oslo—the Norwegian capital founded around 1000 A.D.—from the top of a double-decker bus on this hop-on hop-off tour. At your own pace, explore museums on everything from folk art to shipbuilding and admire the dazzling architecture of this Nordic metropolis.

Start off at the Ibsen Museum, dedicated to Norwegian writer Henrik Ibsen, which contains his refurbished apartment, with the lavish study where he worked. Then, head over to the 173-room Royal Palace, built in the early 19th century to house Norway’s monarch. After watching the changing of the guard at the Palace, amble on to the grand stone façade and bronze spires of the Akershus Castle, a medieval fortress built to protect Oslo in the 13th century.

Hop off at the Viking Ship Museum to see the ancient warriors' huge wooden ships suspended in the stark white tunnel of the gallery. For art lovers, marvel at the strange collection of statues in the Vigeland Sculpture Park, featuring 212 statues in bronze and granite. Muse on the statues' story of the human condition before enjoying stores and restaurants of Aker Brygge, a former shipping yard converted into a lively shopping district.
