Royal Oslo Private Driving Tour

Hop aboard your very own royal carriage (aka vehicle) and set off on the most regal experience in Oslo! Our day of grandeur starts by driving to the city's east side, arriving centuries back in time to the early days of the capital. We'll bow to the founder of Oslo and walk between the ruins of the Old Town to stories of the glory days of Oslo and the fire that destroyed most of the city. 

Back aboard our royal carriage, we'll drive forward in time, from ruins to the Renaissance, as we arrive back in the heart of the city centre, greeting the Oslo Cathedral. Hosting Royal weddings, the Oslo Cathedral is where a commoner became a Crown Princess in 2001 when she married the Crown Prince of Norway. Around the corner, we'll roll out the red carpet as we enter Akershus Fortress, where we'll wander the grounds. Enough of the past and on to the present; it's time to search for modern royals. 

We begin our search on the Bygdøy peninsula, home to many museums and royal resting spots such as the Royal Summer Residence, Royal Manor and Oscarshall. Once a palace, now a museum, Oscarshall is one of Norway's finest examples of Neo-Gothic architecture, not to mention a beautiful spot to stretch our legs, so we'll do just that. We'll enjoy the fresh air and some free time for a coffee (and hopefully some sunshine too!). If we didn't find modern royalty out on Bygdøy, the next place to look for them is... you guessed it, the Royal Palace. Our visit entails the Palace exterior and a stroll through the grounds while listening to stories about the Queen, the King, and the royalty represented by statues in the gardens. 

Ending at your own palace (aka hotel or cruise ship), we've now seen all things grand, noble, and regal in Oslo. It's not for nothing; we call this majestic experience our Royal Oslo Private Driving Tour.
