About this activity

The Oslo Beer and Culture Walk blends history, flavour, and local life — beginning with a full Norwegian dinner:

Enjoy a hearty meal in one of Oslo’s oldest restaurants — choose fish, meat, or lighter options, paired with Ringnes Pilsner or Frydenlund IPA.

Visit a historic tavern steeped in polar exploration — surrounded by maritime memorabilia, taste two distinctive aquavits while hearing tales of Amundsen, Nansen, and Arctic adventures.

Discover Scandinavia’s largest craft beer bar — boasting 65+ taps, where you’ll sample a full tasting flight of Norwegian beers, guided by your host and a local beer specialist.

Between venues, enjoy a cultural walk through Oslo’s story — from Viking history and polar heroes to the rebirth of Aker Brygge and the rise of modern beer culture.

Itinerary

Nobel Peace Center

45 min

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

45 min

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

one hour

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.

Meeting point and pickup

Meeting point
