Day 1 - Exploring The Heart of Oslo
Kicking off our thrilling journey through Oslo, we will start at Karl Johans Gate, the bustling heartbeat of the city where endless shops, cafes, and street entertainers await. From there, you're only a hop, skip, and a jump away from the regal Royal Palace, with its manicured park stretching out in front. Feel like royalty wandering in its beautifully designed garden. Later, an awe-inspiring visit to Oslo Opera House, a snazzy piece of modern architecture that you can literally walk on top of - now how's that for a rooftop view? We'll wrap up your day with a peaceful stroll around the serene waters of Oslofjord, where the evening hues paint a staggering masterpiece that would even make Van Gogh jealous.
Day 2 – Delving into history and culture
Day Two takes us back in time, stepping into the annals of Oslo's rich history and culture. The day starts with an enchanting ferry ride to the museum-filled Bygdøy Peninsula. Our first stop is the iconic Viking Ship Museum, where you can ogle at the largest preserved Viking ships worldwide. Fancy that! Next up, we are off to the Open Air Folk Museum, a delightful walkthrough of traditional Norwegian life. Picture it, wandering through centuries-old farmhouses and even a stave church! But the day doesn't end here! Get ready for an awe-inspiring visit to the Fram Museum, where you can walk aboard the world's strongest polar exploration ship. We round out our day of historical exploration with a tranquil walk by the serene Huk beach. Imagine this - the sun slowly sets, casting a warm glow over the day's memories. Sounds good, doesn't it?
Day 3 – Embracing Nature and Modern Art
The Grand Finale of our Nordic journey is Day Three: a blend of natural beauty and cosmopolitan artistry. We kick start our day with a visit to one of the world's most visited sculpture parks, Vigeland Park. Stroll between the 200+ sculptures and marvel at the wonder of human emotion captured in bronze, granite and iron, seriously it's jaw-dropping! What’s more picturesque than a park? How about a park on a roof? Our next port of call is the Oslo Botanic Garden, where the scenery is as breathtaking as the rooftop greenery. After lunch, we immerse ourselves in the vibrant, trendy district of Grünerløkka, known for its pulsating energy, unique street art, and chic shops. As the sun begins to set on our journey, we'll take a final detour to the cutting-edge Astrup Fearnley Museum where contemporary art awaits. As the day winds down, you'll surely look back on these three days and think, 'Oslo, you've been a dream!'
