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.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
• Gather directly in front of the main arched doorway, between the two cream-coloured towers that carry tall green banners. • Look for the wide, gently curved pale-grey bench/sculpture on the forecourt; your guide will stand just beside it.

1Nobel 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.

2Karl 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.

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.
