A glass of sparkling wine rounds off the celebration. Overnight in Oslo.


Day 4: A Visit to the MUNCH Museum
Breakfast at the hotel. Begin the new year with a visit to the striking MUNCH Museum, just a short walk from the city centre. The museum features an extensive collection of works by Edvard Munch, presented in a bold, contemporary space with sweeping views over the Oslofjord. Overnight in Oslo.
