On the day of the tour, we'll meet at the Tiger statue in front of Oslo Central Train Station.

From there, we’ll begin our adventure at the Oslo Opera House, an architectural marvel and home to the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet.
Next, our route continues through the heart of the city to Oslo Børs, Norway's only regulated stock exchange, which plays a key role in the country's economy. Then we head to Christiania Square, where you'll encounter Christian IV's Glove—a unique monument with an intriguing backstory that we’ll reveal on the day!

Our journey then takes us to the historic Akershus Fortress, a 13th-century medieval castle that has served as a royal residence, military base, and even as a temporary office for Norway’s Prime Minister. We’ll see Aker Brygge and the Nobel Peace Center, a highlight that showcases the global ideals represented by the Nobel Peace Prize, the only Nobel Prize awarded in Norway. Aker Brygge’s lively harborfront is the blend of old warehouses and modern architecture that makes this district so distinctive.

As we make our way further, we'll stop by some of Oslo’s most iconic buildings, including Oslo City Hall, home of the annual Nobel Peace Prize ceremony, the National Theatre, main building of University of Oslo, and the Royal Palace, each with its own distinct history and architectural style.
