Tour of Scandinavia, Day 5: Oslo to Stockholm in a Whirlwind


We started the day with a rainy tour of Oslo, Norway, which is nestled gracefully on a harbor at the end of a 110-km-long fjord. We walked through a glorious sculpture park, Frognerparken Vigelandsparken, (Vigeland Sculpture Park) with its captivating sculptures and monuments and its amazing flowers in bloom in late September. We’ll share photos of the many sculptures in our blog at messysuitcase.com.

Back on the bus toward Stockholm, we had a couple of hours to stretch our legs in the Swedish town of Orebro and saw a lovely 14th-century palace, Orebro Castle. No time to go in, though! We took an hour to wander the scenic streets, and then hustled back onto the bus to head to Stockholm for dinner and bed.

The whirlwind day gave us a taste for future exploration in Oslo and Orebro.
