From the charming wooden houses along Damstredet to the vibrant Aker Brygge Wharf by the inner harbour, Oslo’s diverse neighbourhoods each offer something unique for your students to explore. A rapidly growing city, it has simultaneously earned the status of European Green Capital for 2019.

Oslo is the obvious choice for a Viking-themed school trip; the Viking Planet offers a variety of unique experiences based on the Viking heritage of Norway; at The Historical Museum, you can view some of the most exquisite objects from the Norwegian Viking Age.
