Join us as we journey through Oslo's unique and lesser-known history, a narrative that has shaped the lives of locals and visitors for centuries.

Our walk begins at Oslo's City Hall, an iconic structure with tales of the city's past. Within its walls, we can learn about the intriguing lives and expeditions of the renowned Vikings who once sailed the Nordic seas. Together, we’ll explore stories of mischievous trolls, kind-hearted nisse, and mysterious huldra that have been passed down through generations.
From there, we'll make our way to Christiania Torv, a historic square that has witnessed the ebb and flow of time. Our guide will weave tales from the annals of history, spotlighting events and stories that have left a mark on Oslo's landscape.

Next on our itinerary is the Akershus Fortress, a testament to medieval engineering and design. This fortress stands as a symbol of Oslo's need for protection through the ages. Discover stories of the castle's past, including accounts of prisoners in its formidable walls and the fates they met. As we wander through Bankplassen, we delve into the tales of daring heists and intricate robberies that once shook the city. Understand the complex justice system of medieval Oslo and how crimes were met with punishments in those times.

It's a relaxed evening walk, filled with fun stories and hidden history that bring Oslo’s past to life in a simple and engaging way.
