This 3 hour Essential Oslo Private Accessible Guided Tour is a fascinating journey through the centuries and historical periods! Oslo city boasts of more than 1000 years of history, and the many beautiful old historical buildings and sights will reveal that to you. On this short tour, you’ll get an overview of the main tourist attractions in Oslo and experience just why this city is becoming increasingly popular among tourists from all over the world.
Your Private Accessible Oslo tour will begin when you meet your local Oslo guide at your central accessible Oslo hotel or cruise dock. Your guide has extensive experience touring with disabled clients in Oslo, and is ready to share interesting information and anecdotes with you as you walk/stroll your way through Oslo.
On this accessible guided tour you will see the magnificent Royal Palace. This historic Royal Palace was built in the first half of the 19th century by the Norwegian residence of the French-born King Charles III of Norway, who reigned as king of Norway and Sweden. The palace is still the official residence of the present Norwegian monarch.
Next, your private Oslo guided tour will lead you to other significant historical attractions including Stortinget, the Parliament Building in use since 1866. Escorted by your guide, you will make your way to the Oslo Cathedral, the present building dates from 1694-1697. From here you will follow your tour guide to the Akershus Fortress or also called the Akershus Castle. This is a medieval castle that was originally built to protect Oslo. It has also been used as a prison. You will have time to admire it from outside. Following this, you’ll visit the Oslo City Hall, which houses the city council, city administration, and art studios and galleries. Its characteristic architecture, artworks and the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony, held on 10 December each year, makes it one of Oslo’s most famous buildings.
From the City Hall you will follow your guide to the Oslo Opera House, which is the home of The Norwegian National Opera and Ballet, and the national opera theatre in Norway. The angled exterior surfaces of the building are covered with marble from Italy and white granite, which makes it appear to rise from the water.
The last highlight of your accessible walking tour is Aker Brygge. Aker Brygge is a neighborhood in Oslo, popular for its shopping, dining, and entertainment, as well as a high-end residential area. Escorted by your tour guide, you will enjoy a leisurely stroll along the embankment area.
