Top Oslo Seasonal & Special Occasions

Candle lights in windows, cheerful songs resonating in stores, the sweet scent of braised meats tickling your nose… come see how the Norwegians make their Christmas season “hyggelig” on our tour Oslo’s Christmas Spirit.

Take a 2-hour tour to get a general view of the city of Oslo. Stroll through the streets of our capital city centre making your way in the charming traditional Christmas markets. See what locals do and eat at Christmas in Oslo visiting 2 typical markets and listening to the tales of Christmas that your certified guide will tell you. Meet your guide at The National Theatre or at your hotel in the city centre. Walk down the Main Street of Karl Johan and see the festive atmosphere while enjoying a cup of glogg. Learn about Norways history and traditions seeing the locals, the architecture and the lights at this time of festivity.

Strolling through Oslo at Christmastime gives you an idea of locals' cozy traditions but, as an outsider, it can be difficult to really experience them. This guided tour lets you live the Norwegian Christmas experience to the fullest. You'll learn about traditions, taste some of Norway’s typical winter drink, gløgg (mulled wine), and visit a Christmas market with an outdoor ice skating rink.
