What to expect

Imagine a city proudly founded by mighty Vikings, who braved the cold, feasting on fish and living much like everyone else in the north. Fast-forward to the 1600s, and King Christian IV of Denmark and Norway makes his mark on Oslo's history by moving the city after a devastating fire. Today, that rich past is woven into the vibrant tapestry of modern Oslo. And what better way to explore it than during the holiday season, when the city transforms into a wonderland of sparkling lights and festive cheer?

On this Oslo's Christmas spirit walking tour, you'll begin at the Nobel Peace Center, where the lovely Aker Brygge offers stunning views of Oslo Harbour and Fjord, now shimmering under twinkling holiday lights. As you stroll through the heart of the city, you'll pass landmarks like Oslo City Hall, the National Theatre, and the famous Karl Johans gate, each dressed in festive decorations. The energy in Oslo is genuinely vibrant, especially when you arrive at Oslo University and see its towering Christmas tree.

Christmas in Oslo is about more than just architecture—it's about tradition and warmth. You'll dive into the Norwegian holiday spirit, learning about local customs like “Lille Julaften" and "Julebord.” The smell of spiced Gløgg (mulled wine) fills the air as you explore one of the city's Christmas markets, where cosy stalls sell handmade crafts and treats. So bundle up, feel the Christmas magic, and join us for a walking tour celebrating Oslo's history.
