What's included in Oslo Beer and Culture Walk
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Nobel Peace Center
Your guide greets the group outside the Nobel Peace Centre before leading you towards the waterfront. There, you step into a storied tavern whose walls once echoed with the plans of polar icons such as Roald Amundsen and Fridtjof Nansen. Surrounded by maritime memorabilia, you raise a modest pour of akevitt—Norway’s herb-infused national spirit—and learn how it fuelled countless Arctic expeditions.
Karl Johans Gate
A gentle walk winds through the civic heart of Oslo to a time-honoured local pub loved by generations of residents. Settle in for a traditional Skagen sandwich (open-faced sandwich) of seasonal Norwegian ingredients; if seafood is not your preference, your guide will arrange an equally enjoyable alternative. The meal is paired with a typical Norwegian draught beer.
Roor
Finally, the route leads to Oslo’s top craft-beer bar, renowned for championing small Norwegian breweries. Here you embark on a tasting of four to five carefully curated beers—from crisp lagers to hop-forward IPAs—as the resident beer enthusiast explains each brew’s origin, style and flavour profile.
