A bit more about our tour: EZ Oslo, a Princess tour, is a guided bus tour through Oslo. What we passed by: Askerhus Fortress, City Hall, Oslo University, Royal Palace, just the gates ti Vigeland Sculpture Park, Oslo Cahtedral. We stopped at Holmenkollen Hill which was the site of the 1952 Winter Olympic ski jumping competition. We were there very early and it was very cold and windy!. We drove up the Eastern hills of Oslo and had a good view of the city and the fjord.
We got off downtown and walked through the city hall and some of the streets.
on our own.
We had a hard time chosing a tour for Oslo as the time there was short and we were trying to keep the costs down a bit. None of us was interested in the Viking ships museum, even though all 4 of us are of Norwegian ancestry.
Our tablemates had taken this same tour at a later time and they got to walk through the Vigeland Sculpture Park. We would have loved to have seen that. I guess we were disappointed with the tour but it was our choice. I guess if we only picked one bad tour of the whold Baltic, we did pretty good!
