Day wise Itinerary

• Day 1 : ARRIVAL OSLO

  Arrival at the Oslo Gardermoen airport. Pick-up your rental car, and drive to the centre of the city. We recommend a visit to the famous Vigeland Sculpture Park, the Viking Ship Museum, where the best preserved Viking ships ever found are on display, the Fram Museum, where the entire original Arctic exploration ship Fram is exhibited with its original interior and inventory. Further the Kon-tiki Museum, which contains original vessels and objects from Thor Heyerdal's many expeditions, or one of the many other interesting sights in Oslo.
  Accommodation at 3 star+ class hotel in Oslo, centrally located

• Day 2 : OSLO - KRISTIANSAND (200 mi)

  Breakfast at the hotel. In the morning, departure from Oslo and start the tour in the southern part of Norway, "The Norwegian Riviera". This stretch of coast has more sunny days per year than anywhere else in the country, making it a holiday paradise for Norwegians.
  
  Drive via Larvik, an attractive port town, which has a fine maritime museum, and continue to Kristiansand. Southern Norway's largest city is charming with its weathered old homes and pulsating summer atmosphere. The city was built by King Christian IV in 1641 in his characteristic chessboard layout featuring four town "quarters", the centre of the town is an attractive mixture of historic attractions and relaxed seaside atmosphere. Kristiansand's most popular attraction is Kristiansand Dyrepark, which contains five parks of different themes, including a Zoo, a water park and Kardemomme By (Cardamom City, inspired by the Norwegian author and illustrator Thorbjorn Egner).

The town has a country park of 100 hectares and two kilometres of sandy beaches within easy reach. The wooden church of Mandal, built in 1821 and Norway's largest, is worth a visit.
  
  Continue to Stavanger, the cosmopolitan town of the Rogaland region and Norway's 4th largest city.

  Breakfast at the hotel. Departure from Stavanger to explore the Rogaland region.
  Ferry Lauvvik-Oanes. Accessible from Stavanger is one of Norway’s most famous
  sights, Preikestolen (the Pulpit Rock/NB! We recommend for guests to be experienced hikers to go to Preikestolen!). Preikestolen is an amazing flat rock formation standing out above the Lys Fjord, whose sheer rock walls rise as high as one kilometre in places. Hiking up to the Preikestolen gives you an astonishing view of the Lys Fjord from 600 metres above sea level. The tour up takes approx. 2 hours, and is very steep, so don’t forget appropriate footwear and water! Continue towards the Hardanger region, and take the ferry Hjelmeland-Nesvik. Arrival to the romantic village of Rosendal, located by the fjord and home of the Rosendal Baronial Manor.
