Explore the attractions of Oslo Scavenger Hunt

1. Tiger & Central Station – starting point of Oslo Scavenger Hunt and city tour

Standing as one of Oslo’s most photographed “inhabitants,” this 4.5-meter bronze sculpture greets visitors right outside the Central Station at Jernbanetorget. Today the statue stands as a bold symbol of a vibrant, exciting, and happening metropolis.

The Central station of Oslo holds major importance for the city because it not only is one of the largest stations in the region, but it also has some historical significance. It is because it was built at the end of the 20th century.

While you are here, you can explore the visitors centre that is only a 1-minute walk away from the station. Exploring things will not stop here because you can also get to try some traditional items and food from the nearby shops.

2. Oslo cathedral

It not only is the main church of Oslo, but it is so well built, ranging to the end of the 17th century, that it is also a popular tourist attraction. If you are lu8cky enough to visit Oslo on some public events, you can also attend them because the Royal family uses the church for hosting the public events. Speaking of the church itself, it is stunning from inside and outside as well.

3. W.B. Samson – Egertorget

Established in 1894, this historic bakery stands as a cornerstone of Oslo’s culinary heritage, located right on the bustling intersection of Karl Johans gate. As you step into this elegant landmark, the aroma of traditional Norwegian hearth-baked breads and world-class pastries invites you to experience a legacy of craftsmanship that has spanned five generations of the Samson family.

4. Norwegian Parliament

It is a historic building that has been serving as the Norwegian Parliament for a long time. Although it has important political importance for4 the place, it is very rich in its architecture and history as well.

Although the building was made in the early 19thy century, its origins can be traced back to the 9th century days, making it one of a kind building. However, these days you can get a guided tour to explore its internals.

5. City Hall

The City Hall in Oslo is one of the greatest landmarks in the city. At the same time, the exterior seems fascinating because of its unique brick structure. The interior is also worth exploring. It is because apart from the building itself, there are some artefacts created by different artists present in the building.

6. Nobel Peace Center

Right next to the city hall square of Oslo city, this building of the Nobel Peace Centre is located. This building provides the best representation of the current architectural values of the place because it was built right at the start of the 21st century.

As this site is located in the heart of the city, this can be the place where you stop and shop for some traditional items from the local vendors.

7. Royal palace

The jaw-dropping views of this site will make you fall in love with the building and the place as well. Although it was built in the 19th century, the building is so well maintained that it provides fresh views.

If you are up for exploring it, you can get the guided tours where you will be able to use the 173 rooms of this building. However, make sure to visit this for exploring it in the summer days because otherwise, internal tours are not allowed.

8. National Theater

On one side of the Royal Palace is the National Theater of Oslo. This is considered one of the most beautiful sites in Oslo because i9t was built by one of the most famous architects in the 19th century. However, these days the theater is used as a venue for the most prominent performances of dramatic arts for the locals.

9. Uranienborg Church

Right behind the Royal Palace, there is this church that was constructed in the late 19th century days. Designed and constructed by a very famous architect of the time makes it one of a kind building that provides stunning views. While the exterior of the church provides a historical touch in the views, the interior of the church is also worth viewing because of the overall decoration and amazing lighting work done here.

10. Frogner park – ending point of Oslo Scavenger Hunt and city tour

This is the park that has some of the most iconic sculptures in Oslo, and this makes it one of the most famous tourist attractions in the whole of Oslo. Here you cannot only explore the sculptures made from different materials like bronze, iron, and granite. But you can also enjoy the sign of the fountain here.

Apart from this, this park is also rich in greenery, which makes an amazing picnic spot. With everything perfect and unique, this can be the best spot to end your Scavenger Hunt trip to Oslo.

    Kierros oli todella hauska ja hienosti suunniteltu. Teht?v?t olivat juuri sopivan vaikeita ja saivat niin teinit kuin aikuisetkin innostumaan. Kierrokseen kuului kaikki t?rkeimm?t n?ht?vyydet paitsi oopperatalo, mik? oli hieman harmi. Mielest?mme oli kiva, kun kierros p??ttyi puistoon, ja j?immekin sinne viett?m??n aikaa teht?v?t suoritettuamme. Koko kierrokseen meill? meni aikaa kaksi tuntia, jonka aikana k?vimme my?s kaupassa ja kahvilassa hakemassa take away-kahvit.

    Obwohl es geregnet hat konnten wir die Stadtf?hrung machen. Die Sehensw?rdigkeiten waren nett, zum Schluss aber zu weit auseinander, ebenso war es kein Rundgang und zu weit vom Hbf entfernt . Schade war, dass es zu dem Quiz keine Fragen gab und wir teilweise nicht wussten, was gesucht wurde. Dementsprechend war es schwierig die R?tsel zu l?sen, die im Nachhinein aber kreativ und gut waren.

    Die Tour durch Olso ist ganz nett, wenn man die Stadt zu Fu? erkunden und dem Massentourismus entfliehen m?chte. Wenn man mit der F?hre kommt und nur 4 Stunden Aufenthalt hat, ist die Zeit schon recht knapp, mit Erwachsenen aber durchaus machbar. Wir haben es nicht so eng gesehen und waren auch mal in Gesch?ften drin. Vom Ziel l?uft man noch circa 25 Minuten zur F?hre. F?r diesen Zweck w?re eine andere Reihenfolge der Stationen oder die Option, dass man diese selbst ?ndern k?nnte, w?nschenswert. Die Stationen sind ganz nett, im Sommer sicherlich noch sch?ner anzusehen. Man bekommt auf jeden Fall einiges von der Innenstadt und sp?ter auch ein bisschen was von au?erhalb zu sehen. Die R?tsel sind teilweise sehr leicht, teilweise recht knifflig, f?r R?tselfans eine gute Mischung. Wenn man mal nicht weiter kommt, kann man sich in mehreren Stufen Hinweise ansehen und ggf. die L?sung. Ich w?rde die Tour wieder buchen.

    Een leuke manier om gericht langs de highlights van de stad te gaan. De puzzels hadden echter niets te maken met deze highlights en ook de losse informatie in de app hing niet samen met de wandeling. Al met al nogal onsamenhangend, helaas.. Omdat mijn kind en ik ook ieder hadden betaald terwijl 1 inlog voldoende was geweest, vond ik het het geld niet waard.

    It was a fun day in Oslo for our family of four – two teenaged children – to follow the tour. The history and background information was just enough to take in and fulfill our Tourist needs. It’s nice to go at your own pace and the tour could be done in 2-3 hours or 2-3 days if you chose to go into and explore many diversions.

Es hat viel Spa? gemacht, Oslo so zu entdecken. Bei den Infos war von geschichtl. bis Popkultur alles dabei. K?nnen wir empfehlen und w?rden eine andere Stadt auch ausprobieren. SPOILER: Zu beachten ist, dass gerade die letzten beiden Stopps zu Fu? etwas weiter vom Stadtzentrum entfernt sind. Daf?r hat der letzte Stopp die Stra?enbahnstation direkt angebunden.
