Oslo City Walks - The City of Contrasts
Overview
Join our Green Oslo City Walks! The topic of this tour is the rapid urban development taking place in Oslo at the moment. Your guide will tell you more about what is new in Oslo, and show you how the city blends in new buildings with the old. See how old industrial buildings are mixed with new cultures and exciting architecture, starting by crossing the Acrobat bridge from multicultural Grønland neighbourhood to the Barcode district and learn about the development in Bjørvika, with its urban beaches, new housing and businesses. We will pass by the Opera House, and end up in front of the fantastic, new Deichman library. The tour combines the fjord and urban city life, and operates every Monday at 17:00 hours
The tour is guided in Norwegian and English.
