Explore Oslo’s medieval history with a private guide
Join a guided walk through the Medieval Park – one of Oslo’s most unique historical areas. Here, where the city was founded almost a thousand years ago, you’ll wander among ruins, green spaces, and the remains of the old harbour town. Our guides share stories of kings, churches, and trade – and of how Oslo grew from the medieval centre by the fjord.
Along the way, we visit, among other sites, the ruins of St. Mary’s Church, one of Norway’s most important churches in the Middle Ages – as well as other key findings from the original medieval city. The guide vividly recounts life in those times – both the dramatic events and the small details that bring history to life.
No two tours are exactly alike – the route, content, and duration are adapted to the group’s interests, needs, and available time. Our experienced guides have different areas of expertise and presentation styles, allowing us to offer everything from classic historical tours to themed walks focusing on archaeology, urban development, or church art.
This is a popular tour for companies, delegations, school classes, groups of friends and families - for anyone who wants to experience Oslo’s oldest history up close.
