Low-budget holiday in Oslo – £164 pp (flights and 4 nights accommodation)

No trip to Norway would be complete without visiting at least one of the many museums and exhibits dedicated to the country's Viking past.One of the best is the Viking Museum (Vikingskipshuset På Bygdøy).This popular attraction houses three historical vessels of the 9th century, the best preserved being the 21-meter long Oseberg ship.and was used for the funeral of a boss's wife and two other women.They were buried with a large selection of objects, including furniture, clothing and personal objects, which offer a great perspective on the life of the Vikings. In the other exposed vessels include the 23 -meter Gokstad ship, a maritime ship to be used under the ship or with rows and the ship is less intact.The film of the museum, Vikings Alive, offers a fascinating look at these artifacts and demonstrates the long Viking naval construction process by using the CGI animation.The museum also hosts some exhibits and additional films, which explore the Viking life on the seas.A store is located on the spot, and the audio guides in English are available with admission (guided tours are also offered).
