Description
Discover the heart of Oslo on a city walking tour. Embark on a 90-minute journey to bring the city to life.
On the day of the activity, we'll meet in front of the Tiger statue in front of Oslo Central Train Station at the indicated time.
Once we're all together, we'll begin our free walking tour of Oslo.
Starting off our adventure, we'll walk towards Oslo Opera House.
Home to the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet, this modern building will amaze you!
Then, we'll stroll towards Oslo Børs, a stock exchange within the Nordic counties that offers Norway's only regulated markets for securities trading!
Following that, we'll walk through Christiania Square where we'll see Christian IV's Glove, do you know the significance of this monument? We'll leave it as a surprise for the day!
Our walking tour will then bring us to Akershus Fortress.
This 13th-century medieval castle was originally built to protect and provide a royal residence for the city.
Over the years, it has been used as a military base, a prison, and now the Prime Minister of Norway's temporary office!
Next, we'll see the neighbourhood of Aker Brygge, which happens to be home to the Nobel Peace Center.
We'll pass by the center, a showcase for the Nobel Peace Prize and the ideals it represents.
As our walking tour continues, we'll pass by more iconic buildings such as Oslo City Hall, the National Theatre, and the Royal Palace, admiring the elegant façades of each one as we learn about their rich history.
As we approach the end of our time together, we'll admire the University Aula, located on the university's old campus, before reaching Karl Johan's gate, Oslo City's main street.
Along this street, we'll find the Storting building, which is Norway's Parliament.
Finally, after admiring the beautiful architecture of Norway's Parliament, we'll bring our 1.5-hour-long walking tour to a close.
