Step into the heart of Oslo on an atmospheric evening walking tour that uncovers the city’s most captivating myths and legends. Beginning at the iconic Oslo City Hall, you’ll hear stories of daring Vikings and the folklore that has shaped Norway’s capital for centuries.

As you stroll through the city, your expert English-speaking guide brings to life the mischievous trolls, kind-hearted nisse, and mysterious huldra that populate Norwegian tales. The journey continues to Christiania Torv, a historic square where the echoes of Oslo’s past linger in every stone.
