TREASURES IN THE CITY CENTER
Did you know that Oslos nickname is “the city of tigers”? On this walk we will let you know why! After lunch we will start the walk by the most common meeting point for locals; the bronze tiger, by the central station. As we continue towards the newest additions to the city center, we will reveal how the locals use the Opera House, and what we really think about the new MUNCH museum.

MUNCH
Our most famous painter, Edvard Munch, got a new home in 2021, when the MUNCH museum moved to Bjørvika. We think the building most resembles a crash barrier, but inside you’ll find thirteen floors of art and culture, including a rotating show of different versions of The Scream. We will take you to our favourite parts of the museum.

SHY PEOPLES SAUNA
You might think that it's the most natural thing for Norwegians to go ice bathing and visit the sauna, but that’s the Finns. The Finnish sauna culture has hit Oslo hard, and now you can find out why! Remember to bring your swimsuit! Yes, you heard us right: swimsuit. No one is naked in a Norwegian sauna.

MEDIEVAL OSLO
Next up is a walk through the oldest parts of Oslo, we will walk through the Medieval park, where you can still see the remains of some of the first settlements in Oslo that appeared around AD 1,000.

THE OLD AND WOODEN TOWN
The last areas we will visit are also the most special, real and authentic. The Old Town has not yet been gentrified and has a lot of great local stores and bars. And Kampen consists of small and beautiful wooden houses.

TIME FOR DINNER
We will end the walk with dinner at Grådi, which has a great menu with food made from local products.
