About this experience

This private scenic tour combines the best of Oslo attractions and the beautiful scenic area of Tyrifjord and Jevnaker. The main attraction of the tour is the Kistefos Museum and Gallery. We'll do a guided tour through the outdoor sculpture park and of course the highlight "The Twist" . This is a spectacular "twisted" building or bridge across the river containing modern art.

The Twist is listed in New Your times as nr 21 out of 50 of "things to see" in 2020.

For a light lunch (cake/coffee) either to Kistefos or when returning we can recommend the Kleivstua Restaurant close to the Queens View.

In Oslo we recommend focus on the famous Vigeland Sculpture Park and the Viking Ship Museum. However since private tour, guests can choose.

Entrances are included in the tour price.

Stop 2

Polar exploration was important in late 1800 and early 1900. There was a race to conquer the North pole and the South pole. In the Polar Museum you find the two authentic polar ships Fram (-forward) and Gjøa. Rewarded "The best museum in Norway". The most impressive is that we can enter the original 130 years old ship and get the polar feeling forced onto us by the multimedla film above us showing the combined drama of sea, wind, ice bergs and northern light.

Stop 3 Pass by

Oslo city centre is quite small. We recommend picking a hotel in or close to the city centre (which we can book). Oslo is made for strolling around, and of course we will guide you.
Here is our modern opera building, evoking an ice berg rising up from the sea. You can even can walk on the marble roof.

4

Let's enjoy the Queens view over Tyrifjord. And maybe a cake and coffee at the historic restaurant & Hotel Kleivstua.

5

Norway is a democratic Kingdom since 1814 and our Parliament is situated on the main street of Karl Johan. In front of the Parliament we find the famous Grand Hotel and the vibrant Eidsvoll Park.

6
Stop 6 Pass by

Oslo's mail street is the Karl Johan, place to see and to be seen during the last 200 years. Today a part of our pedestrian city center (however a couple of crossing streets with cars). Imagine the street at our constitution day May 17th (1814) when tens of thousands of children are waving their flags or their march up to greet the King!

7
Stop 7 Pass by

One of the most important buildings in the city center is Akershus Fortress, built in 1300. Open for walks during the day and early evening. There is also a nice restaurant overlooking the old harbor and the City Hall.

8

The main reason for Oslo's development during the last 500 years is the Aker River splitting the city in two. With 20 "productive" waterfalls it first produced power to our grain- and saw mill and later in the industrial 19th century our steel- and textile industry.

Today a 10 km park and recreation area. The lowest parts occupied by the "hipsters".

9
Stop 9 Pass by

The most prominent building facing the sea is the Oslo City hall, well-known as the venue of the Nobel Peace Price ceremony every year.

10

The Nobel Peace Prize ceremony takes place every year in the Oslo City Hall. A torched procession down Karl Johan and past the Grand Hotel (where the winner is accommodated) is held during the evening of the ceremony, and the next night a televised concert takes place. If time we can visit the nearby Nobel Peace Centre

11
Stop 11 Pass by

Norway is a democratic Kingdom and our Parliament situated on the main street of Karl Johan. We'll walk up front to the King's guards.

Stop 12

Some kilometres west of the city centre is the great Vigeland Sculpture Park, open all day and night to the public. The several hundred outdoor sculptures illustrate the circle of life. We are happy to give you a guided tour of the park.
