What you’ll do

Waste no time in a cozy capital teeming with must-see landmarks, like a larger-than-life sculpture park, or the Neoclassical Royal Palace in the city center (return at 13:30 to see the changing of the guard). A stone's throw away, see home to the famous artwork The Scream, as you meander along a flower-lined street towards the stage of the National Ballet and the neo-Romanesque Parliament. Had enough of the classics? Head harbor-side to see ferries depart for the scenic Oslo Fjord, snap a pic outside the inspirational Nobel Peace Center, and drop a GPS pin at a popular boat bar before strolling along the Aker Brygge Promenade dotted with angelic sculptures. A fortress fit for a Viking awaits, then pop over to the Opera House for a dose of innovative architecture.
