Oslo's Christmas Spirit Private Walking Tour

What your day looks like

Imagine a city founded by fierce Vikings, braving the northern cold and thriving on more than just fish! Fast forward to the 1600s, when King Christian IV of Denmark and Norway reshaped Oslo's future by moving the city after a devastating fire. Today, Oslo's rich history blends seamlessly with its vibrant, modern life. What better time to explore than during the holiday season, when the city glows with festive lights and cheer? On this private walking tour, we begin at the Nobel Peace Center, with Aker Brygge offering stunning views of the twinkling Oslo Harbour. As we walk through the city, you'll see landmarks like Oslo City Hall, the National Theatre, and Karl Johans gate, all decked out for the holidays. The festive energy grows as we approach Oslo University, where a towering Christmas tree stands. But Christmas in Oslo isn't just about decorations—it's about tradition. We'll dive into Norwegian customs like "Lille Julaften" and "Julebord." The scent of spiced Gløgg fills the air as we visit a Christmas market, where cosy stalls brim with handmade crafts and holiday treats. Our tour ends at the Royal Palace, beautifully framed by snow (if we're lucky!), as we share how the Royal family celebrates the season. Bundle up, soak in the Christmas magic, and join us on a tour that brings together Oslo's rich history and joyful holiday spirit!
