Oslo’s oldest districts – rich in history, architecture and dramatic stories
Join a fascinating journey back in time – with your own guide leading you through Oslo’s oldest areas. This walk combines military history, architecture, and urban development, offering insight into how the capital grew from a medieval port town to today’s modern city centre.
The tour takes you through Kvadraturen – the area established by King Christian IV after the great fire of 1624 – and into Akershus Fortress, with its scenic ramparts and dramatic history. You'll hear stories of kings, wars, occupation, resistance and monuments – all while walking through some of Oslo’s most atmospheric streets and squares.
No tour is exactly the same – the route and content are tailored to the group’s interests, needs, and available time. Our guides have different areas of expertise and approaches, allowing us to offer classic sightseeing tours, themed walks, or deep dives into specific periods, such as World War II.
This is a popular choice for companies, delegations, school classes, families and groups of friends – anyone who wants to make the most of their visit to Oslo.
