Welcome to Oslo, the biggest city of Norway, and its capital for more then 700 years. The history of Oslo dates back to the middle ages and the first constructions date back to the year 1000. Oslo is located at the end of the Oslo fjord and surrounded by forest. In 2007, Oslo was classified by ‘readers digest’ as the worlds’ second best city for appreciation of nature and respect of the environment. Private transfer to the hotel. Check in time is 1500 hrs. Early check in subject to availability. In the afternoon head to the Viking Ship Museum on own. Stand in front of the three best-preserved Viking Ships in the world! These ships were used to sail the Norwegian fjords and afterwards they were used as burial ships. Admire the details of ships and the objects found in the ships along with the skeletons of those buried with the ships. Take a look at the four mystic dragon heads!
