Travel itinerary
Flight to Oslo
We start our journey with passport and baggage check-in to head to Oslo. Norway and its capital perfectly combine urban lifestyle with close contact with nature. Both modern, glass buildings and historic palaces, as well as old townhouses, harmonize wonderfully with picturesque fjords and numerous islets covered with green forests.
Oslo
After arriving in Oslo, we will head to the hotel, and after a short rest, take an evening stroll through the city. The capital of Norway delights with its beautiful location along the fjord and magnificent architecture. The history of the city dates back to the 11th century, making it one of the oldest cities in Scandinavia.
Oslo
After breakfast, we will continue our exploration of the city. We will take a stroll along the prestigious street of Oslo – Karl Johans Gate, which begins right under the Royal Palace. The Castle itself is surrounded by a public park. It’s worth getting closer to see the changing of the guard in traditional Norwegian uniforms.
Heading towards the fjord and the port, we will reach the modern Opera House, visit the Aker Brygge district, and the Thief Island. Our visit to Oslo wouldn’t be complete without exploring the unique Vigeland Park. At the end of the day, we will go up the hill overlooking the city, where the Holmenkollen ski jump is located, offering a beautiful panorama of the city. Free time in the evening and a group dinner. Overnight stay in Oslo.

Preikestolen
Only an hour away from Stavanger is the trail leading to one of the most iconic locations in Norway – Preikestolen, also known as the ‘Pulpit Rock.’ It is a vertical rock formation offering breathtaking views of Lysefjord.

The 20.2 km route takes us through the Flamsdalen valley, ascending to an altitude of 866 meters. Midway, the train stops near the Kojs waterfall.

Travel through the longest tunnel in the world
