Itinerary
This guided tour offers you a unique opportunity to explore the world of the Vikings up close. It is in this region that the Oseberg ship and the Gokstad ship were discovered. These are considered the world's most important Viking finds and have provided unique insights into the Viking Age. In addition to seeing replicas of ships, you will gain insight into the daily lives of Vikings, their myths, sagas, and the historical events that have shaped Norway's proud Viking heritage.
The tour goes through historical sites in the city center.
Slottsfjellet is located in the middle of the city and has a strong historical foundation, being one of the reasons why Tønsberg became the country's first city and trading post. Hear the fascinating stories and enjoy the beautiful view.
The guide will also take you to other gems in the cityscape and, of course, give you the best tips on where to find the finest restaurants and places to visit while you're in the city.
