4 days in Oslo Itinerary

Norway's capital city, Oslo boasts a thousand years of history and a diverse mix of architecture that blends old, new, and ultra-modern.

Museum-lovers will appreciate Viking Ship Museum and Norsk Folkemuseum. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Botanical Gardens (Botanisk Hage og Museum) and Oslomarka. Take a break from Oslo with a short trip to Spiralen in Drammen, about 44 minutes away. The adventure continues: step into the grandiose world of Akershus Castle and Fortress (Akershus Slott og Festning), get engrossed in the history at Fram Museum, see the interesting displays at Nobel Peace Center, and explore the world behind art at Vigeland Museum.
