Your journey begins between the famous stone lions outside the Norwegian Parliament (Stortinget), where the first Nobel Peace Prizes were awarded in 1901. With your Authorized Oslo Guide, explore the stories behind Norway's democracy and its enduring commitment to peace.
Continue along Karl Johans gate, passing the historic University of Oslo, whose grand Aula hosted the Nobel Peace Prize ceremonies from 1947 to 1989. Discover the significance of the Royal Palace and its place in Norway's national history.
One of the tour's highlights is a rare opportunity to enter a WWII bunker. Step inside this historic wartime shelter and discover a lesser-known side of Oslo's occupation history.

Your walk continues to Victoria Terrasse, the former headquarters of the Gestapo during the Nazi occupation and later home to Norway's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Discover how this building reflects some of the darkest chapters of Norwegian history, as well as the country's journey towards peace and international cooperation.
Finally, pass monuments honouring Kings Haakon VII and Olav V before concluding your tour outside the Nobel Peace Center, a fitting end to a journey through Oslo's remarkable history of war, resilience and peace.
