City of Contrasts: from Grønland to Bjørvika walking tour

Oslo, one of Europe’s fastest-growing cities, boasts exceptional infrastructure, state-of-the-art transport systems, and flourishing industries. This transformation, driven by industrialization and city expansion, is at the heart of this educational sightseeing tour by Oslo Guidebureau.

Begin your journey on a typical Monday evening, meeting your guide by the Oslo Visitor Centre in Østbanehallen. As you set off, you’ll explore Oslo’s suburbs and industrial areas, uncovering the city’s modernization story. The tour includes a walk over the 'Acrobat' pedestrian bridge at Oslo Central Station into Bjørvika, passing through Bispevika and by the new Munch Museum. The tour concludes at Deichman Library, next to the Opera House.

Marvel at the blend of old and new buildings, representing Oslo's evolution into an industrial hub. With a mix of traditional and contemporary architecture, there are ample opportunities to capture memorable photos while absorbing insightful commentary from your guide.

Ta på deg varme, værtilpassede klær. Komfortable tursko anbefales, da fortauene kan være glatte.
