Free Tour of Contrasts in Oslo

On this free walking tour of contrasts, we'll discover the many faces of Oslo. We'll stroll through the bohemian Grünerløkka district, explore the multicultural Grønland, and you'll be amazed by the futuristic architecture of Bjørvika.

Itinerary

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

First, we'll explore the Grünerløkka district, the bohemian heart of the Norwegian capital. Once a working-class neighborhood filled with textile factories, it's now Oslo's most alternative district. We'll stroll along the banks of the Akerselva River, observing how the old industrial buildings have been transformed into art galleries, vintage shops, and markets.

Next, we'll venture into Grønland, the multicultural heart of the city, where the landscape will change completely. This neighborhood is one of the oldest parts of the city, dating back to when Oslo was called Christiania. Today, it's brimming with spice markets, exotic fruits, and international shops that reflect Norway's diverse side.

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

In Bjørvika, we'll admire the famous Barcode project, featuring buildings that resemble barcodes, and the imposing Munch Museum, home to The Scream, one of the most iconic works of expressionist art. We'll also stop at the famous Oslo Opera House, whose white marble structure rises from the water like an iceberg.

Finally, we will approach Sørenga Bay, where we will say goodbye after a two-hour tour.
