On the Medieval Oslo Private Walking Tour, you'll be taken away from the busy crowds at the main tourist attractions to explore lively neighborhoods that only locals know about. By carefully observing between the newer buildings, you'll see traces of the old town seamlessly blended with the present. As you imagine the scene, you'll hear the sound of hoofbeats as warriors rode their horses through the town, taking you back to a time long gone before the flames ravaged the maritime village. Despite this, the city was reborn from the ashes, and today, you'll witness not one but two remarkable achievements: Oslo city center and East Oslo.
You'll encounter impressive ruins of medieval churches and barracks, and hear stories of the thousands of men and women who rebuilt the city from the ashes. The tour will take you to a graveyard known for being the resting place of hundreds of seamen and a 500-year-old hospital that witnessed an epic battle. You'll follow in the footsteps of Oslo's citizens from the past to the present. And don't worry; there will even be some exciting Viking stories included!
During the tour, you'll discover the reason behind the city's area nicknamed "Oslo's Petrograd" and uncover the story of Eastern Oslo's return to glory in Tøyen with the help of local artists, artisans, and workers. Whether you're a history enthusiast, an architecture lover, or fascinated by modern cultural vibes, one thing is certain - after this tour, you'll really know Oslo.
