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!

Christine and Tanya in the groups department were incredibly helpful and made the entire process seamless. Their support was greatly appreciated!
The feedback from my clients was overwhelmingly positive, with particular praise for the local tour guides, who helped make the trip so memorable. Everyone had a wonderful time.
Thank you, Christine, Tanya, and the Goway team, for taking such great care of my clients. I would happily recommend Goway and look forward to working with them again!customerI wanna start off by saying that Farnaz our agent was excellent!!! she planned the whole experience from start to finish. We did not have to worry about one thing the entire trip. All the hotels were great. Our transfers from hotels to fairies to airports were all available and always on time. The excursions she planned for us were all top-notch. I was a little skeptical, but just finding GOWAY online stumbling across it. But I’m so glad I made the choice to use them. I hope they definitely using the company again and especially our agent Farnaz!!! Thank you do mych for a wonderful experience! CatherineOur goal for this trip was a stress free honeymoon where we did not have to think about anything! Goway made that successful. Everything was planned and ready for us. We just had to show up. Brooke recommended fantastic accommodations that were in great locations, clean and comfortable. The tours were took with Thompson's Africa were incredible as well. Brooke was helpful throughout the entire booking process & we wouldn't have had such an incredible experience without her. We really loved our South African holiday and hope to travel there or other locations again with Goway.TaylorOctober 9, 2026, was our 50th wedding anniversary. To celebrate, I wanted to take my bride to Europe for 50 days. Also, other than the flight over, I wanted to make the trip by train. I contacted Farnaz at Goway. The trip we planned ultimately extended to 60 days. It was absolutely flawless. We had great hotels, great tours. Even though this trip was complex and had a lot of moving parts, there were no problems. Farnaz and the folks at Goway done a great job. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them on any future tripsDaniel GraffWe had a fabulous Croatia vacation with a cruise from Dubrovnik to Split, followed by land tours on Split and Opatija. Lodging was always comfortable and conveniently located. Tours and activities were perfectly suited to our interests. We have used GoWay for 2 vacations and are currently working on another. KarenWe would like to thank our travel specialist, Bijal for all the planning and coordinating that was done to make our Tanzania trip as spectacular as it was from start to finish!
Everything went so smoothly from our transfers, to our accommodations, to all of our tours! The people we came into contact with were exemplary!
There were so many highlights on our trip from the animal sightings, to the balloon flight and champagne breakfast, to all the incredible scenery.
Our accommodations were stunning! The level of service was remarkable and the locations were beyond our expectations. To think we would be having dinner and seeing the zebras and the elephants in the distance was amazing!
Our tour guide/driver was very knowledgeable, friendly, passionate and had a keen eye for spotting animals in the distance. He made sure that we saw all the animals that we had hoped to see. it was truly a pleasure to spend the week with him.
Thank you again to Bijal for all the work in making this once in a lifetime trip so exceptional!! We look forward to having Bijal help us plan our future trips.The Chadwicks and Williams
