One-Day Cultural Tour (Register by July 7 at the latest)
The One-Day Cultural Tour takes place on July 30th (Wednesday). Oslo has a rich cultural heritage and many sites and charms in a very small area. The cultural tour of Oslo has been designed to give the WCA attendees a flavor of Oslo by focusing on the richness of its artistic, historic, and cultural heritage. Our cultural tour will be guided by Oslo/Norwegian natives who will talk about our locations and Norway’s history throughout the day. The tour includes moderate walking — mostly flat — and is accessible for those with disabilities. The tour is priced at 55 $ and includes an unlimited 7-day Oslo area transit pass.

Post Conference Tour: Fjords, Charms, and Traditions Tour from August 1-8
While there are many potential tours of Norway that our conference attendees may choose, there is one that particularly corresponds with the conference and provides a wide-ranging Norwegian experience. The tour “technically” starts on August 1 – the same day that WCA ends; however, the first night of the tour is in Oslo and to allow people to arrive in Oslo. This is useful if you book this tour and plan your hotel accommodation around it. The website provides details about the tour and those who want to book the tour should go to: https://www.onthegotours.com/uk/Norway/Fjords-Charms-and-Traditions-8-days#Inclusions for full information about the tour and booking. It is a guided tour in English.
