harrtchr Posted February 9, 2006 #1 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Looking to draw upon the experiences of those of you who have had Oslo as a port of call. Was there just enough to see touring on your own, or did you go on a guided tour with a private tour operator? If so, can anyone recommend a private tour guide that they had a good experience with? glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldog Posted February 9, 2006 #2 Share Posted February 9, 2006 We just went on our own. It was easy and Oslo is a very walkable city. We took the ferry and then walked to the Viking Ships and Kon Tiki museums and then back to the city and walked, had lunch and visited the Resistance museum which I highly recommend. Lots of time left for shopping and/or people watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEL67 Posted February 9, 2006 #4 Share Posted February 9, 2006 We also went on our own. In the morning, we took the Ferry over to the museums and went to the outdoor craft museum. Then in the afternoon, we walked around downtown and went to the national museum. It was a great day, especially since the there were festivities because the crown prince was getting married.

EGG Posted February 10, 2006 #5 Share Posted February 10, 2006 We went on our own. We got off the ship early and walked around for a while until the sites opened. We visited the city hall and the art museum. We also visited the Fortress where we took a tour in English. This was a highlight of the day and I can't imagine paying for a tour from the ship - the Fortress is right next to where the ship docks. The Resistance Museum is next to the Fortress, but we did not have enough time for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andee Posted February 10, 2006 #6 Share Posted February 10, 2006 We took the subway to the Vigeland Sculpture Park, a cab to the peninsula to see the Kon-Tiki, Viking Ship and Fram Museums, and a ferry back to the ship. Great day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
