Best View of the Oslofjord on Norway's National Day (May 17)

Experience how Norwgians celebrate their national day! Our tour begins at the Oslo Visitor Center. From there we will walk through the city, full of celebrations, and hop aboard the Frognerseteren metro line taking a scenic train ride with breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

As you reach the Frognerseteren station, you will be greeted by breathtaking panoramic views. We will take a leisurely hike through the glorious green forest and along mysterious small lakes that are said to be inhabited by the mystical creature Huldra. After we wander to DNT Fuglemyrhytta - a small cabin that offers a cozy spot to relax outside and take in the views. From there our adventure will continue through the forest to the most spectacular spot of our journey – the summit of Vettakollen mountain offering overwhelming views of the city and the Oslofjord. Take in the crisp fresh air and capture this moment with photographs.

Vettakollen peak provides the best view to the city. From here, you can feast your eyes on large parts of Oslo, the Oslo fjord, and its serene coastline, dotted with numerous small islands. We will bring everything you need for celebrating the 17 May (National day) properly!

After enjoying the view and celebrating a bit, we will stroll down to the metro station and finish our trip at Jernbanetorget.

Norwegians take their national day celebrations seriously and so do we! Whether you're a seasoned hiker or a nature enthusiast looking to experience Oslo's beauty, the Vettakollen hike is a must-do experience. Join us on this journey to the top of Oslo, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
