Itinerary
The Akershus Fortress and Castle is one of the most spectacular sights in Scandinavia. It was built originally to protect the capital city of the country and was strategically constructed on the shoreline to enable enemy ships to be sighted long before they reached the shore.
The Norwegian National Opera & Ballet is the largest performing arts institution in Norway employing over 600 people. The opera building is unusual in that it allows and encourages visitors to walk up onto the roof making it an interactive and modern building.
The peaceful and amazing building of the Oslo Cathedral is a pleasant and relaxing stop. Consecrated on the 7th of November 1697, it is the official church of Norway and many national, parliamentary and royal events are held and celebrated here.
The main feature of Oslo City Hall is its a vast array of art which attracts more than 300,000 visitors each year. The collection includes a room dedicated to the famous artist Edvard Munch.

About Oslo
Oslo is Norway's capital at the head of the Oslofjord, a green city of sculpture, Viking ships, polar-ship museums, an opera house and forests for skiing.
Oslo sits at the head of the Oslofjord, surrounded by forested hills and dotted with islands, and it is one of Europe's greenest capitals. The waterfront has the Opera House, a white marble building with a sloping roof that visitors can walk on, and Akershus Fortress, a medieval castle above the harbour. City Hall, a brick building with large murals, is where the Nobel Peace Prize is presented each December.
