We will begin our adventure at the The Nobel Peace Center, built as arena where culture and politics merge to promote involvement, debate and reflection for topics such as war or conflict resolution. We continue with a panoramic stroll through Oslo’s scenic Harbor for views over Norway’s coastal archipelagos. Time for another highlight- the Oslo City Hall with its two massive towers is the building where the Nobel Prize ceremony takes place each year. Constructed in 1931 the building has a spectacular main hall featuring huge murals with typical Nordic social democratic theme. We take a trip back in time and visit the impressive Akerhus Castle.
