Overview

Do you dare to explore the dark side of Oslo? Our knowledgeable and experienced guides will tell you all about the dark stories that have unfolded on these streets. You'll hear about witchcraft, crimes, and supernatural forces that have left their mark on Oslo's history. We'll start our tour at Oslo's City Hall entrance, where we'll hear about Vikings' beliefs. From here, we'll descend into the shadows to explore tales of a mysterious underground kingdom believed to have been inhabited by trolls and other mythical creatures. As our tour continues, we'll venture into darker dimensions as we learn more about Norway's often-forgotten legends regarding ghostly apparitions and witches said to haunt locations around Oslo throughout its history.

Meeting points

Meet your guide on Fridtjof Nansens Plass, close to the Oslo City hall entrance, near the cascade fountain.

Best tour!

Published on Oct, 2024

I loved all the knowledge on Oslo and Norway. Our guide was also so excited to tell us all about it! Will definitely do this again when I come back!

Night tour

Published on May, 2024

The tour guide was extremely informative and helpful and would answer all questions to the best of her ability and the tour was a pleasure.

100% recommend

Published on Oct, 2023

After getting so cold during the day, the thought of spending 2 hours on the cold was almost too much but so glad I did! Great tour guide and really enjoyed all the information. Felt really special walking around the city in the dark hearing all the stories. Would definitely recommend . There are lots of cobbles so for those who find it hard walking or pushing a pram on this o wouldn't recommend but I'm sure if you let the guide know they would take this into account

Historical with a touch of spooky

Published on Sep, 2023

The guide was funny and informative. I learned more about Nordic culture, the history of Oslo and some spooky tales.

Super interesting and enjoyable

Published on Jun, 2023

Really enjoyed this tour, lots of easy walking and interesting stories. Our tour guide was very enthusiastic and friendly. Sometimes the commentary seemed a bit up for personal interpretation so maybe more information based in research would be good. All in all we really enjoyed the tour and came out of it with lots of cool knowledge about the city and its stories.
