Overview

Join me on a walking tour through Grünerløkka. We will discover the area’s unique history, lush nature, creative scene, and the hippest cafés, bars and restaurants.

Why choose this tour?

As an independent guide, I have created my own tours, driven by my passion for Oslo’s rich culture and history. After years of designing itineraries/scripts for tour companies, I have created my own tours to offer a more personal, authentic experience. Unlike the generic tours provided by companies that subcontract local guides, my tours are thoughtfully crafted and full of personal insights and stories.

Average tour group is 2-4 people.

Solo Travellers
Couples

  • Grunerlokka
    Starting at Kulturkirken Jakob we will first move into the Grünerløkka district. You have probably heard that it is known for bars, restaurants, and independent shops, but I will also tell you about the area's really interesting history.
  • Here we will discover a very photogenic creative arts and music hub right by the river.
  • Vulkan Neighbourhood
    Along delightful paths, we will follow the river upstream to Vulkan, a model for green urban living, with cutting edge venues and Oslo’s best food hall.
  • Damstredet
    We will then make your way along cobbled Damstredet with its charming, small, wooden houses from the early 19th century.
  • Our Saviour's Memorial Cemetery
    At the top of the hill we will visit the Cemetery of the Saviour, a tranquil oasis in the heart of the city, where the final resting places of Edvard Munch and Henrik Ibsen can be found.
  • Moving along picturesque Telthusbakken, we will head back down towards the river.
  • We will then carry on up along the Akerselva river, and see how the river’s factories have been converted into design centres and art academies.
  • Akerselva River
    We will stroll through the mist of urban waterfalls while we learn about the impact the Industrial Revolution had on Oslo, and the areas surrounding the river in particular.
  • If you like we will stop for tea, coffee or a delicious waffle (at your own cost) at Hønse-Lovisas house, a cute spot right on top of one of the waterfalls.
  • Grunerlokka
    We will then head back into the hustle and bustle of Grünerløkka. Weaving your way through numerous lesser known streets packed with history, we will pass award winning cafes, buzzing hangout spots, and I can point out my favorite cocktail bars and restaurants. Depending on your wishes, the tour will either finish at one of the tram stops in Grünerløkka or at Ankerbrua, close to where we started.
