What you can expect

We'll start our tour at the entrance to Oslo's City Hall, a monumental building where we can learn about the beliefs of legendary Vikings. From here, we'll descend into the shadows to explore tales of a mysterious underground kingdom believed to have been inhabited by trolls.
Then, we will dive deep into the city's less-than-pretty history and learn about famous heists and robberies in Oslo. Crime goes hand in hand with punishment, and our guide will discuss how local prisons worked in medieval times and what punishment systems existed back then.
As our tour continues, we will hear stirring stories about witches, and ghost apparitions said to haunt certain areas in Oslo. While shortly touching upon this subject of unexplained phenomena, our guide will avoid relying on hearsay and, instead, narrate only those tales that can be backed up by factual evidence.
This tour is a perfect opportunity to gain insight into certain traditions and superstitions still held by locals today. Along with learning about this unique Norwegian folklore and stories, our knowledgeable guide will also point out historical sites around Oslo, all of which add colour and intrigue to this remarkable city's long-standing cultural heritage.
