Oslo Contrasts Free Tour

First, we will tour the Grünerløkka neighborhood, the bohemian soul of the Norwegian capital. Formerly a working-class neighborhood full of textile factories, today it is the most alternative district of Oslo.

We will walk along the slope of the Akerselva River while we observe how the old industrial buildings have been transformed into art galleries, vintage stores and flea markets.

Afterwards, we will enter Grønland, the multicultural heart of the city, where the landscape will change completely. This neighborhood is one of the oldest areas of the city, from when Oslo was called Christiania. Today it is full of spice markets, exotic fruits and international stores that reflect the most diverse face of Norway.

Next, we will cross the spectacular Akrobaten pedestrian bridge over the railway tracks. In just a few steps, you will notice the contrast: we will go from a humble neighborhood to the most expensive and modern district of the city: Bjørvika.

In Bjørvika we will admire the famous Barcode project, which is about buildings that look like barcodes, and the imposing MUNCH Museum. Finally, we will approach the bay of Sørenga, where we will say goodbye after a two-hour drive.
