Discover beautiful Oslo on a brief city tour, with your guide highlighting such memorable highlights as the Royal Palace, Town Hall, the National Theatre and the city's modern center of shops and office blocks.
Take a 45- to 60-minute walk at Vigeland Park to view the world's most extensive collection of sculptures executed by one artist -- Gustav Vigeland (1869-1943).
Visit the Maritime Museum is famous for its 9th-century Viking boat from the largest of the Gokstad Viking Ship Findings. Also on display is a wide range of Norwegian maritime cultural heritage items, including the country's oldest vessel, believed to be 2,200 years old.
The Kon-Tiki Museum houses original boats from Thor Heyerdahl's world-famous expeditions -- the Ra II and the Kon-Tiki. His balsa raft was famous for its historic 101-day crossing of 4,970 miles from Peru to Raroia in Polynesia.
