Have you ever experienced that going on sightseeing in a new city with children can be somewhat exhausting? In that case, we highly recommend a quiet fjord cruise as an alternative!

This tour starts from the Aker Brygge wharf and the route follows the wind and the captain's recommendation. During the cruise, we slowly sail past the Opera House, get close to "Hovedøya", wave to Dyna Lighthouse, and enjoy the scenery along the Nesoddlandet with "Ildjernet" and "Kavringen" before heading for Bygdøy.

On this journey trip the children are at the forefront. In the café, you can buy organic juice and fresh baked goods, and choose whether you want to sit outside on the deck or in one of our indoor seating areas. No matter where you sit, you'll have great views through the large windows.

Top Notch Activities in Oslo You Can't Miss

Statistic: According to Statista , Oslo welcomed over 5 million tourists in 2019, making it one of the most visited cities in Scandinavia. With over 50 museums and an endless list of activities, it's hardly a surprise!

Oslo Fjord Boat Tour

Imagine the wind rustling your hair as you glide over serene waters, the city's skyline painting a silhouette against the setting sun. The fjord boat tours give you just that - with an added bonus of swimming opportunities during warmer months.

Skiing, Snowboarding, and Biking at Oslo Vinterpark

Snow-lovers, this one's for you! Oslo's Vinterpark isn't just another winter spot; it's a snow-clad utopia that promises an exhilarating experience at every twist and turn. Nestled just a short drive from the city center, this winter park transforms into a shimmering white blanket, beckoning skiers and snowboarders from across the globe.

The meticulously maintained slopes cater to everyone, from the absolute beginner taking their first tentative slides to the seasoned pro carving expert paths down the mountainside. The crisp air, the sound of skis swishing against the snow, and the thrill of descent – it's a symphony of sensations that's hard to replicate.

But don't pack away your adventure spirit with the melting snow! As summer unfurls its warmth, Oslo Vinterpark metamorphoses, shedding its snowy mantle but holding onto its adrenaline-infused soul.

Replace those skis with rugged mountain bikes, and challenge yourself to the diverse trails that crisscross the landscape.

From steep descents that test your mettle to leisurely pathways offering panoramic views of the verdant surroundings, there's a track for every biking enthusiast.

As the wheels spin and the breeze flutters by, you'll not just traverse terrain but also the boundary between man-made thrill and nature's serenity.

So, no matter the season, Oslo Vinterpark remains an epicenter of adventure, inviting you to create memories that'll warm your heart, long after the snow has melted or the bike has been racked.

Whether you're tracing patterns on snow or dirt, the park ensures your heart rate stays up, and your spirits even higher!

Guided Walking Tours

While Oslo boasts of over 50 museums , including the renowned Munch Museum that's home to the world's most extensive collection of Edvard Munch's masterpieces like 'The Scream', the real charm often lies beyond these walls. Indeed, Oslo itself is a living, breathing museum.

Walking through its cobbled streets, you can feel the pulse of its rich Viking heritage juxtaposed beautifully against modern Scandinavian design . Grand medieval structures stand tall next to cutting-edge architectural marvels, whispering tales of yore while also showcasing the city's contemporary spirit.

And then there are the vibrant street arts, the quirky sculptures, and the intricately designed public spaces that turn the entire city into a sprawling canvas.

A guided walking tour becomes the bridge between you and these hidden stories. With knowledgeable local guides leading the way, every street corner, every old building, and even the simplest-looking public square takes on a new dimension.

They're not just structures or pathways but bookmarks in the sprawling tale that is Oslo . You'll uncover tales of ancient kings , learn about the city's resilience during wars, and appreciate the forward-thinking nature of its people.

And as the walk progresses, you'll also get insights into the daily life of Oslovians, their culture, traditions, and even their favorite hangout spots.

By the end of the tour, you won't just have seen Oslo , you'll have felt its heartbeat, understood its past, and gotten a glimpse into its future.

So, tie up those walking shoes and let the city unveil its myriad secrets to you!
