Sightseeing in Oslo

A bus sightseeing tour is an enjoyable way of seeing Oslo and its top attractions, such as Vigelandsparken Sculpture Park, Holmenkollen Ski Jump and the Viking Ship Museum.

HMK Sightseeing's guided bus tours are available daily all year, and in summer your choices also include hop on-hop off bus tours and Båtservice Sightseeing's guided bus tours.

Båtservice also offers boat sightseeing tours with great views of the Oslofjord and its many islands. The daily hop on-hop off mini cruise is available year-round, and in summer there are also daily fjord cruises and combination tours by boat and bus.

For a unique sightseeing tour, you can try sightseeing by taxi, seaplane, limousine, helicopter or chartered boat; the view of Oslo is beautiful from every angle. An eco-friendly and fun way of taking in the sights is a guided bike tour, available daily in the summer season.

The capital has an efficient public transportation system, making it easy toexplore Oslo on your own. The city trams can guide you comfortably through Oslo’s diverse neighborhoods, and the Oslofjord ferries can take you island hopping.

Walking is another great way to see the sights, and the Opera House and Akershus Fortress are ideal for sightseeing on foot. Oslo Guidebureau and Oslo Guideservice's guided walks include traditional walks to the top attractions and themed walks that emphasize history or architecture.
