• Duration

 Our tour lasts 2 hours.

• Our Dynamic Route:

Beyond the postcard views lies a city of fierce WWII resistance, Nobel traditions, and ancient Nordic secrets.

It is carefully designed to make every single minute count.

• Meeting Point / Things to note:
• We will meet right in front of the main entrance of the National Theatre (Nationaltheatret), next to the statue of Henrik Ibsen. Please make sure to come to the main entrance facade and not the metro exits at the back!
