The Little Fjord Tour

This architectural and cultural tour will start at the city hall Rådhuset in the centre of Oslo.
The art-works at and inside the city hall visualize the history of Norway and the Norwegians. It´s spectacular and worth spending some time here. The next neighbour is the nasjonalmuseet (the new National Museum), opened in 2022 and designed by Klaus Schuhwerk (Kleihues + Schuwerk).
Then the tour will follow the waterfront with the former harbour areas Aker Brygge and Tjuvholmen peninsula and the Astrup Fearnley Museet, designed by Renzo Piano. The Akerbrygge was transformed into an “Instant city” already in the 80/90ties of the last century. Tjuvholmen is planned and realised in recent years due to the large Oslo-masterplan to transform the harbour areas into vivid parts of the city.

Due to the length of the tour (from 3hours to half a day) the Akershus (fortress) and the Kvadratur (the central city-quarter planned by Christian IV in 1624), or a historical walk to Slottet (the castle with the gorgeous park), Stortinget (the parliament) and Nationalteater (the national theatre) can be added.

In summertime there is the possibility to finish with a boat-trip. The most public boats are leaving and arriving at Aker Brygge.

Duration: From 3h. We recommend half a day.

This guided tour Oslo is a walking tour with short distances. Very convenient also on rainy days or cold weather. Insite visits can be included in the tour.
