Architectural Heritage of Oslo

History, Culture and Grand Designs Discover Oslo’s rich architectural heritage during a guided walk to view the city’s medieval and modern sites. Meet your guide and walk along the Oslofjord toward the medieval Akershus fortress. Along the way, view prime examples of architecture from the Middle Ages to several 19th-century buildings designed in the style of the Norwegian National Romanticism movement. Stop for a three-course lunch in the Kvadraturen neighborhood, known for its well-preserved 17th- and 18th-century architecture and fountain in Christiania torv Square. Then, see the Oslo Opera House, a sleek glacier-inspired landmark that anchors the city’s waterfront. Home to the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet, the building’s sloping roof doubles as a public promenade providing panoramic views of the fjord and city skyline. Cap your excursion with a stop at the Ekeberg viewpoint for vistas of the Oslofjord. * Demanding - Physically challenging activities, including extensive walks, hiking, riding, water sports, and high altitude activities.
