Ah, Oslo in autumn! Picture this: four of you, two discerning couples, embarking on a luxurious eco-conscious adventure to the heart of Scandinavia. The crisp air, the vibrant colours of the changing leaves – it’s a sensory feast for the soul. Autumn in Oslo offers mild, pleasant weather, perfect for exploring. Think cobblestone streets, the scent of woodsmoke mingling with the salty tang of the fjord, and the warmth of a crackling fire after a day of exploration.

Our journey begins with a private transfer from Oslo Gardermoen Airport (OSL) to your exquisitely appointed hotel, ideally situated near the city center. Expect to pay around €150-€200 for this private transfer. We'll settle you into your rooms, allowing you time to unpack and absorb the atmosphere before we begin our curated itinerary.

Day one involves a guided walking tour through Oslo's charming streets, showcasing its blend of modern and historic architecture. We’ll admire the grandeur of the Royal Palace, explore the vibrant Aker Brygge waterfront, and soak in the atmosphere of the bustling city center. The walking tour, including a private guide, will cost approximately €400 for the four of you. Afterwards, we’ll indulge in a traditional Norwegian dinner at Maaemo, a Michelin-starred restaurant showcasing the best of sustainable Nordic cuisine. Expect to spend around €800-€1000 for dinner.

Day two takes us to the stunning Oslofjord. We'll enjoy a private boat trip, perhaps even spotting some seals or other wildlife. A private boat tour for four, including champagne and canapés, will cost around €700. This will be followed by a visit to the Viking Ship Museum, a captivating glimpse into Norway's rich maritime history. The entrance fee for the four of you will be approximately €80.

For the evening, we will explore the local culinary scene. Expect to sample delicious seafood, reindeer stew, or perhaps a traditional brunost (brown cheese). Dining for four across two evenings, excluding the Michelin-starred restaurant, will average around €400.

Day three focuses on the city's cultural gems. We'll visit the Munch Museum, home to the iconic works of Edvard Munch, including “The Scream,” and perhaps the National Gallery, showcasing Norwegian art from the Middle Ages to the present day. Entrance fees for the museums will be approximately €120 for the group. We'll finish the day with a leisurely stroll through Vigeland Sculpture Park, a unique and thought-provoking outdoor museum. The park is free to enter.

Throughout your journey, you’ll notice the friendly demeanor of the Oslo locals, often seen enjoying the city’s many green spaces. The sounds of the city blend the gentle hum of electric vehicles with the occasional laughter and conversation in Norwegian and a variety of other languages. You might observe Norwegians enjoying a “fika,” a coffee break with pastries, a cherished tradition emphasizing relaxation and social connection. Popular plants include spruce, pine, and birch trees, while cats are common household pets.

Before departing, we’ll ensure a seamless transfer back to Oslo Gardermoen Airport. This return private transfer will cost approximately the same as the arrival transfer, €150-€200.

In total, your luxurious and eco-conscious Oslo adventure for four will cost approximately €3,000 – €3,500, excluding flights. This includes private transport, curated experiences, and exquisite dining, all meticulously planned to provide an unforgettable journey. Remember, this is an estimate and exact costs can vary depending on your specific choices.

This is only a suggestion; we can tailor-make this itinerary to suit your preferences, incorporating other activities such as hiking, kayaking, or exploring the surrounding countryside. So let's begin planning your bespoke Norwegian escape!
