Oslo Walking Tour with the Founder of Oslo By Heart (English)

As we move along the waterfront you will learn fascinating details about the comprehensive urban development that has shaped the Bjørvika district, and which includes the Munch Museum, the Opera, and some other buildings that may surprise you.

Here we will dive a little deeper into the history of the city and how it came to be known as Christiania for just over 300 years.

We will ascend to the highest point of the Akershus Fortress grounds for stunning views over the Oslofjord. On a sunny day, you will even be able to spot the famous Holmenkollen Ski Jump.

We carry on towards the heart of Oslo, Karl Johan street. If you like shopping, take note as you might want to return here later.

We will discover how the city and country is governed and entertained, at the Norwegian Parliament and National Theatre.

We take a quick peek at the royal residence and learn about the Norwegian national day and other interesting events.

During the final part of the tour we head towards Oslo’s magnificent City Hall, a hidden gem.

We end the tour in the Aker Brygge district, where I will give you some great tips for visiting the National Museum, Nobel Peace Center, restaurants and Oslo fjord tours.
