Welcome to Norway's vibrant capital city with its many facets. At times, it presents a modern side, as in the new Barcode district, whose long, narrow buildings truly resemble a barcode. You'll encounter historic Oslo on the grand boulevard Karl Johansgatan, home to the Parliament, the Royal Palace, the National Theatre, and the Cathedral. You'll be staying in the heart of the city. Several travel options are available for the trip. These include flying from an airport near your home and picking up a rental car at your destination airport (Oslo or Stockholm). Driving your own car is also an option. Alternatively, you can take a ferry to Oslo, where you can bring your own car.

Beautifully situated on the Oslofjord, Oslo's connection to the water is ever-present. Stroll along the modern Aker Brygge promenade with its views of the fjord and archipelago.
