What are people saying about Oslo
Norway’s capital is lauded as one of the most walkable, bikeable city centers in Europe, making Oslo tours a particularly appealing way to experience the city. On foot or wheels, follow an expert guide from Oslo’s sprawling sculpture park and impressive waterfront landmarks to locals’ favorite spots for sausages and waffles. Some tours show you the city through the lens of World War II or the Vikings, while others spotlight the Oslofjord. Swim, kayak, or sweat in floating saunas on the pristine urban fjord—or simply admire the bays, beaches, and verdant islands from an electric boat.
