Once all participants have arrived at the meeting point, your guide will greet you and brief you about the landmarks you’ll be covering during the sightseeing trip. First, you will stop at the magnificent Akershus Fortress, which has seen many battles right from the 14th century to the Second World War. Your guide will tell you how the fortress was taken over by the German forces and how it was liberated after the Norwegian resistance movement.
