Itinerary

  1. 1Day 1Oslo: Karl Johans gate and the Royal PalaceOvernight: Oslo
    • Our adventure kicks off in Oslo!

      N.B.: Round-trip flight to/from destination aren't included in the package, so you can decide where to fly from, at what time, and with the airline you prefer... This is to give you maximum freedom of choice. Heads up: you need to arrive at the hotel in Oslo by 3 PM.

      We arrive in Oslo in the early afternoon, meet our travel buddies at the hotel, check in fast and head straight out.

    • The magic of Oslo: a royal stroll, a typical snack, and a Viking feast

      • We start on Karl Johans gate, the main street and the city's beating heart, where elegant buildings, shops and always bustling cafes keep modernity and history tangled together.

      • Then the Royal Palace and the large park around it, where the pace drops right down: tree-lined avenues, room to sit and relax, and Oslo seen from above.

      • A typical Norwegian snack of local pastries and hot coffee, the way locals do it, then a traditional Norwegian dinner, klippfisk or kjøttkaker with a sip of aquavit. Skål!

       

      • Colorful houses on a rocky, tree-covered coastline with a city in the background under a blue sky with white clouds.
  2. 2Day 2Aker Brygge, Akershus Fortress, goodbye Oslo
    • Check out free time exploring the streets of Oslo

      Last morning: one more breakfast together, and then a final stroll through the centre of Oslo before we all scatter.

      • We can stop again at the Royal Palace and the greenery of its park, then carry on down to Aker Brygge, the trendy waterfront district where the boats come and go.

      • The views there run out over the fjords. We finish at Akershus Fortress, which hands us a panorama of the whole city, a good last look.

      • Then each of us heads off to our own destination, home with memories of a unique place and, more to the point, new friends. See you soon, Oslo, and until the next WeRoad adventure.

       

      • The bow of a large white tall ship with intricate rigging docked in a city harbor under a bright blue sky.
