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.

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.

Our guide Svein was so nice, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Frogner park was amazing as well as the Fram museum. Holmenkolleakken was amazing. Loved hearing the history of Oslo as well.

This was a wonderful day spent with Sven, our guide and driver. He was extremely knowledgeable about Oslo and brought it to life for us. He had perfect English and a great sense of humor. You are able to design your own day or take the tours and stops he suggests.
The Mercedes Van is super comfortable and easy to get in and out of. He had water for us.
It was just a lovely day. I would do it all over again.

Excellent way to see and learn about Oslo’s history. Our guide, Steiner, shared a wealth of information about the development of Oslo into the beautiful city it is today. I really can’t believe how much we were able to see and do in a single day, and what a joy to not have to worry about the driving. I would do this again on my next visit, hopefully Steiner will be available again!

Visita pelo principais pontos da cidade e arredores. Visita extraordinária do Parque das Esculturas do escultor Vigeland. Com um subida à pista de saltos de sky, que foi uma agradável surpresa. Um excelente almoço num restaurante antigo, mas com um serviço óptimo. Posteriormente uma visita ao Museu do Navio Viking.
