On your professionally guided tour of Oslo, you’ll see some of the most iconic buildings in Scandinavia. The world-class cultural center that is the Oslo Opera House resembles a huge glacier floating in the harbor. Go from modern to medieval, the Akershus Fortress is a proud pillar of Oslo’s past and present. It has withstood many sieges since its construction in the 1300s and now serves as a popular venue for concerts and holiday celebrations. Millions of people flock to Vigeland Sculpture Park each year to see the 200+ unique statues created by sculptor Gustav Vigeland.
