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.

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.

City Hall, with its magnificent Golden Hall—venue of the Nobel Prize banquet—is spectacularly located on the waterfront.

Essential Information
Whether you'd like us to arrange your flights or prefer to book your own, we're here to make the process easy. Our team can secure flights from the location that suits you best or provide all the arrival and departure details you'll need if booking independently.
Arrival & departure airport transfers are included for the majority of our trips EXCEPT our UK Breaks, regardless if you book your own flights or if we book them for you. To learn more about flight options, payments, and transfers, click here.
We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance before any trip — it safeguards you against unexpected issues like illness, cancellations, or lost luggage. It also protects your health and travel investment, giving you peace of mind to fully enjoy your journey. Click here to learn more.
We recommend that you check passport and visa requirements for the country you are visiting at the State Department if you have a U.S. Passport. Most countries require that your passport have at least six months validity when traveling internationally, and many require that you have one to two blank visa pages for either an entry stamp or visa. As a general rule, please check that your passport has six months validity beyond your planned trip, and if not, please renew your passport with plenty of time to provide Solos with your updated passport information by the final payment due date.

We recommend that you check if vaccinations are required for your destination at the CDC’s recommendations for your visited destination(s). We also recommend you purchase travel protection. A travel protection plan can often assist with medical emergencies and reimburse costs that are covered by the plan. Please verify coverage details with Solos before you travel.
