Explore Oslo like a local on this *electric bike tour of the major sights. Discover the parks, castle grounds, and paths of Oslo Fjord, and learn where to find the city’s best bars and restaurants from an expert guide. **For winter tours, see below.** Depart from the Viking Biking headquarters, an easy 10-minute walk from Oslo's central station, and cycle on comfortable bikes to the pedestrianized City Hall Square, the site of the annual Nobel Peace Prize ceremony. Enjoy an easy ride to Christianias Torv and hear about the influence of King Christian IV and how Oslo changed after the great fire of 1624. Continue to the Medieval and Renaissance castle of Akershus Festning, and climb off your bike for a brief walk along the ramparts. Then, ride down Karl Johans Gate, the most famous boulevard in Norway, visiting the Parliament, National Theater, University, and Royal Palace.
