Free Tour Oslo City 🇳🇴

This was part of A day in Oslo 🇳🇴 🔗.

I joined the Free Tour Oslo City by Nordic Freedom Tours at 10:00 AM. We assembled at The Tiger sculpture, and after brief introductions to see where everyone was from, we started our journey.

We walked by Christian Frederiks plass to our first stop: the Oslo Opera House. We were given time to explore and even walk onto the roof. From that vantage point, there were great views of the floating sculpture “She Lies” by Monica Bonvicini.

Next, we headed to Byens andre Rådhus (Oslo’s second City Hall) and Christiania Torv, a historic square famous for its fountain featuring the glove of King Christian IV.

After that, we headed uphill to explore the Akershus Fortress, which offered panoramic views of the Oslo harbour and the Inner Oslofjord.

From there, we descended towards the harbour, passing the Franklin D. Roosevelt monument and the Statue of Tordenskjold before reaching Rådhusplassen (City Hall Square).

Our guide then took us inside Oslo City Hall to see its magnificent murals and interiors. We were given some time to walk around and explore the building, which is the site of the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony.

Our last stop was the Norwegian Parliament (Stortingsbygningen). The building features a unique Eclectic style, blending elements of Romanesque and Renaissance architecture.
