More to book in Oslo
Oslo is a compact capital where very different eras sit close together: the medieval Akershus Fortress, the 19th-century Parliament and Karl Johans gate, and the modern Opera House on the waterfront. On foot you can follow how the city moved from the old centre towards the fjord.
The free tour covers the central sights in about two hours. Booking costs nothing and you tip the guide at the end, as much or as little as you feel it was worth.
Good to know before you go
- Winters are cold and the tour runs in rain or snow, so bring warm clothes and a waterproof layer from autumn to spring.
- The centre is small and easy on foot; comfortable shoes are all you need.
- Each language starts from a different meeting point, so check the page of the tour you book before you head out.
