Step inside Scandinavia's greatest Gothic cathedral — the coronation church of Norwegian kings — on a private expert-led tour. Combine the soaring nave with an exclusive viewing of Norway's Crown Regalia, kept in the adjacent Archbishop's Palace.
What to expect
Your private guide opens the cathedral's story from the medieval pilgrimage route to the High Altar, built over the tomb of Saint Olav. You'll linger in the richly carved rose window transept and descend to the crypt rarely dwelt upon in group tours. The Archbishop's Palace vaults reveal Norway's actual Crown Regalia — orb, sceptre, and sword of state — in a hushed, almost private gallery. Allow two hours to do it justice without rushing.
