Itinerary

At the indicated time, we will meet at the BLÅ bar, the most iconic jazz and independent music club in the city, to begin our free tour of Oslo's contrasts.

First, we will explore the Grünerløkka neighborhood, the bohemian soul of the Norwegian capital. It was once a working-class neighborhood full of textile factories, and today it is Oslo's most alternative district. We will walk along the Akerselva riverbank while observing how the old industrial buildings have been transformed into art galleries, vintage shops, and markets.

Then, we will delve into Grønland, the multicultural heart, where the landscape will change completely. This neighborhood is one of the oldest areas of the city, from when Oslo was called Christiania. Today it is filled with spice markets, exotic fruits, and international shops that reflect Norway's most diverse side.

Next, we will cross the spectacular Akrobaten pedestrian bridge over the train tracks. In just a few steps, you will notice the contrast: we will move from a humble neighborhood to the most expensive and modern district of the city: Bjørvika.

In Bjørvika, we will admire the famous Barcode project, which consists of buildings that resemble barcodes, and the imposing MUNCH Museum, home to The Scream, one of the most iconic works of expressionist art. We will also stop in front of the famous Oslo Opera House, whose white marble structure emerges from the water like a true iceberg.

Finally, we will approach the Sørenga bay, where we will say goodbye after two hours of touring.
