We continue to Vigeland Park, one of the world’s largest sculpture parks created by a single artist, where over 200 works by Gustav Vigeland are displayed in a beautifully landscaped setting. The tour also features the spectacular Oslo Opera House, a contemporary architectural masterpiece rising from the fjord like an iceberg.

Today, we hop back on the train, travelling to our final city - Stockholm (five hours approx). As you leave Oslo, the train quickly moves into peaceful Norwegian countryside, with rolling hills, forests, and scattered lakes. After crossing into Sweden, the scenery opens into classic Scandinavian landscapes of woodland, red wooden houses, and shimmering lakes, providing a calm and picturesque backdrop for much of the journey. Widely regarded as one of Europe’s most beautiful capitals, Stockholm is idyllically spread across 14 islands, where freshwater meets the Baltic Sea.

After breakfast, our local guide will take us on a coach tour of the capital’s most iconic sights. Highlights include the museum island of Djurgården, home to the world-famous Vasa Museum; the breathtaking panoramic views from Fjällgatan; the historic Crown Church; and the charming old town of Gamla Stan, with its cobbled streets and beautifully restored buildings. City Hall, with its magnificent Golden Hall—venue of the Nobel Prize banquet—is spectacularly located on the waterfront. From here, we can enjoy stunning views across the city, including the old town and the islands of Riddarholmen and Gamla Stan.
