CityTrip Oslo

Norway's capital, Oslo, presents itself as a dynamic yet tradition-conscious metropolis. Old wooden houses and historic villas contrast with futuristic buildings like the opera house. Highlights such as the museum peninsula Bygdøy, the royal palace, and the new Munch Museum by the water offer a rich cultural experience. On the historic Karl Johans gate and the former shipyard area of Aker Brygge, interesting shops, inviting restaurants, and cozy cafés beckon. In the evenings, one can dive into the vibrant nightlife of this university city. Excursions, such as to the Holmenkollen ski jump or to one of the beautiful islands of the Oslofjord, round off the visit.
