Best of Oslo Walking Tour in English

What your day looks like

Oslo has a long and impressive nautical history that led it to become one of Europe’s leading centers of trade. While the Vikings are long gone, the city is rooted in its maritime heritage to this day. With the help of our Oslo walking tours, you’ll get an unparalleled insight into what makes this Scandinavian city stand out. On our guided tour, we circle Sentrum, Oslo's diverse city center positioned on the Oslofjord, to show you its best landmarks, museums, restaurants, and bars. Starting at the University of Oslo, we will admire the 19th-century architecture of the city center. We will see the Norwegian Parliament, the Grand Hotel, the shopping area, and other features on the main street of Karl Johan. You will learn how Oslo earned its nickname 'Tiger City' and start passing Havnepromenade, where the symbolic Norwegian Opera House stands out like a pearl in the ocean. Next, we walk towards Christiania, the historical center of Oslo's 17th century; you will know why the Norwegian capital changed its name 300 years. The tour ends not far from City Hall, which holds the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony every December. You'll need to join our tour to find out all about those!
