Overview
Take a trip to Oslo on your Norway Vacation
The capital of Norway, Oslo is located on the Oslo Fjord in the south of the country. It is laid out in the shape of a horseshoe around the sea and is surrounded by green hills, forests and mountains, all to be enjoyed on a Norway vacation. The city is known for awarding the Nobel Peace Prizes.
Oslo has many attractions and offers several pleasant parks, a scenic harbour and diverse architecture.
One of the best-known attractions is probably the outdoor sculptures located in Frogner Park and known as the open-air Vigeland Museum with 212 large sculptures made of bronze, granite and cast iron.
Some other important landmarks are the Royal Palace designed in the Neo-Classic style and home to the Royal Family, the Akershus Fortress, an imposing medieval castle built originally in 1299 and the contemporary, futuristic-looking Oslo Opera House located on the waterfront.
When on a Norway vacation, check out the abundance of extremely interesting museums in Oslo. The best known is possibly the Viking Ship Museum with its many Viking-era discoveries. The Kon-Tiki Museum has displays of the original vessels from the expeditions of Thor Heyerdahl. The Ibsen Museum showcases the playwright’s life and works in his former home. Norway’s Resistance Museum reflects on the country’s World War I involvement. There is also a museum dedicated to the history of the Nobel Peace Prize.
For cultur buffs on trips to Norway, there are the National Gallery which houses the largest collection of paintings and sculptures in Norway, the Oslo City Museum which also has a large collection of art, the Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art and the Edvard Munch Museum dedicated to Norway’s best-known painter.
Other specialized museums include the Norway Folk Museum, an open-air museum featuring 155 traditional Norwegian houses, the Norsk Folksmuseum in nearby Bygdoy featuring folk art, and Viking exhibits and the Norwegian Museum of Magic displaying works and the history of Norway’s magicians.

What do the experts say?
If you can, plan your vacation around so you can participate in Constitution Day on May 17th. It’s Norway’s national day, but unlike most countries, it’s not military or political. It’s a huge, joyful celebration of children, culture, and national pride.
You have to try glogg, Norway’s popular mulled wine. It’s a personal favourite
With regard to packing for your trip - Layer up. Carry an umbrella and raincoat because sometimes it gets super cold super fast. And bring along a bathing suit so you can enjoy one of the many saunas there!

Sabrina GaffoglioIsabella Luu made the arrangements for our trip to Scotland and all aspects of the trip and stay were excellent. Our assistance at the airports were very good as all were alerted to our needs. Our ride services were excellent. Isabella was always available to answer any questions that we had in a knowledgable and prompt manner, which is always very important to me.Audrey HenryHad an excellent tour of Australia, thanks to our travel specialist Katie Stephenson. She was patient as we kept modifying our plans. Got support from Goway and Katie when there was a need to rebook a tour midway through, all handled easily by Goway.Ron PrestonWe went on a highly customized comprehensive (though quick tour) of England and a bit of Scotland through Goway. Ingrid Aird did an amazing job of planning and arranging every detail with her deep experience, insight, thoughtfulness and creativity, tuning into the needs of each traveler; and she did so even though our decision to travel was rather spontaneous and last minute! Our family had the best time! We look forward to working with Ingrid and Goway again!Vilja BreilingWe used Goway to put together an itinerary for East Africa , and Zanzibar . Everything was great and went smoothly DawnI can't tell you enough how much I love to work with Callie. She is a life saver and I love how attentive she is. Every time I give her an itinerary for a client- she really knocks it out of the park with the proposal. If there are any issues- she is on it right away. Her work ethic is outstanding.Michelle LabarcaI had the pleasure of working with Amelia on a booking for a family of 4 to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. She executed everything perfectly, was attentive to needs and the family was over the top happy with their vacation. She was quick to answer questions and provide helpful feedback. Highly recommended!Jessie WilliamsWe were trying to navigate Swiss Travel Center to book a 10 day train trip through Switzerland. It was exactly what we wanted but navigating their site was extremely difficult for us. Goway Travel picked up on our plight and put us in contact with Jacqueline Fagooli, one of their agents. From there on everything was so smooth. Their efficiency, communication, and thoroughness were beyond our expectations. The trip was fabulous and kudos to Jacqueline and Goway for their help in making it so.Carolyn McCormackThe destination specialist I've worked with (Kim Rawlings) has provided exceptional service. She is very knowledgeable of her region and everything they have to offer. She is very prompt in her communication and follow-up. She listens and is very attentive to my client's needs and wants. Kim's personality makes one feel like they've known each other for years.
If GoWay had a customer service model, Kim is it.T. Jackson, Tribe Trek TravelWe had a wonderful and amazing two weeks in North-West Scotland. Shoutout to Jacqueline at Goway Toronto and the driver/guides with Rabbie's minibus tours (Stefan and Willie). Well-chosen hotels and no worries with dietary requirements; every detail was taken care of. Thank you!
