Vikings are among Norway’s most salient cultural icons, and Viking-themed museums and exhibitions are popular among the visitors of Oslo. But who were they really, the Vikings? Join the HOTREC excursion to the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo, and find out!
At the Oslo Viking Ship Museum you will be able to see and explore the best preserved Viking ships in the world - up close. The extraordinary exhibit include The Gokststad Viking Ship, the Tune Viking Ship and the the Oseberg Viking Ship - which is richly decorated. You will also see the lavish artifacts that were found in the ships to honor the women and men buried in them.
For more information, please visit the Viking Ship Musem website - or ask the Viking decendants at the Norwegian Hospitality Association.
We will offer a varied programme during the HOTREC General Assembly in Oslo, including hand-picked activities for delegates and non-delegates alike. Please see the full programme below.
Oslo is the capital of Norway, and is located in the innermost part of the Oslo Fjord. What to do? What to wear?
