Oslo’s Amazing Architecture - Private Driving Tour

On our Oslo’s Amazing Architecture Private Driving Tour, we’ll take a closer look at Oslo’s architectural scene and show you how diverse Norwegian architecture can be. It’s like nothing you’ve seen before; the perfect mix of old and new.

The story about the tour

Buckle up and get ready for Oslo’s Amazing Architecture! From new apartment buildings and world-renowned museums built alongside the Oslo Fjord to a medieval hilltop fortress and other structures of historical importance – the variety of architecture in Oslo is not to be missed! Each neighbourhood showcases something different, and the mix of architectural styles makes Oslo the fascinating city we see today. 

On our Oslo’s Amazing Architecture Private Driving Tour, we’ll make the most of your personal driver and guide and start by exploring areas located on the outskirt of the city centre. There’s Grünerløkka, a former industrial area with factories from the 1800s; Oslo East, with its more traditional Scandinavian buildings; Oslo West, with its stately apartment buildings and Holmenkollen, the famous ski jump, proudly overlooking the city centre, to name but a few. 

Working our way towards the city centre, here we’ll get a feel for modern Oslo. The more recently constructed Aker Brygge & Tjuvholmen and Bjørvika areas perfectly show how new contemporary buildings can immodestly interweave with old architecture. 

Together we’ll plunge into the architectural past of the Norwegian capital and uncover a superb selection of old and new buildings that make Oslo what it is; a beautiful Nordic metropolis with a rich history and grand ambitions.

    Happy Nobel Day! 💡 As Nobel Week was cancelled in 2020, Nobel lectures, prizes and banquets were replaced with Nobel Week Lights - light installations inspired by Nobel Prize-awarded findings and laureates. As the festivities are now back, we sure hope that we are so lucky that the artwork brightening up the city during the darkest month of the year; is a December tradition that has come to stay. 💫

    🇸🇪 
    Nobeldagen är här! 💡 Nobelveckan blev inställd 2020, och istället för Nobelföreläsningar, prisutdelning och bankett genomfördes Nobel Week Lights som är ljusinstallationer inspirerade av Nobelpris på olika platser i Stockholm. Det blev så uppskattat att det genomförs i år igen trots att Nobelveckan är återinförd. Har vi tur så är det en decembertradition som kommit för att stanna. 💫

    It’s a contested issue amongst numerous Baltic connected countries as to who invented the Ice-skate. Was it the Finns or the Dutch? All of this is irrelevant because the best city to ice-skate in is Stockholm. If you want to show off your Quadruple Axel in front of the masses, the ice-rink in Kungsträdgården is the perfect location. ✨⛸️✨

    Don`t let its controversy cloud your curiosity as Christianshavns characteristic slanting roofs and canals, as well as the tremendous Church of Our Saviour, are well worth seeing. Not to forget the Færgecafé or Café Parterre who are both worth visiting.

    A few hundred years ago, if you asked a Norwegian how old they were they might reply “I have seen forty winters!” Every year of life was a success! Now, living conditions are of course much improved, but there is no such thing as a mild winter here. Bring thermal underwear, wool and grow a beard... if you can. ❄️☃️☃️

    Of course, if you love the snow and want to ski, then you`re in the perfect place, and you get to see the beauty of Oslo in a truly Nordic light! The canvas of white snow - unpredictable but usually arriving in November/December - can provide a canvas of light across the city that makes up for the few hours of sunlight the people of Oslo get to enjoy. While still beautiful, it`s best to stay inside! ✨✨

    The temperature might not be super-cold in Winter in Copenhagen, but strong winds make it quite chilly. 🌬 The city is still quite magical. 🌟 The Christmas markets open already in the middle of November so that you can warm up with a hot Gløgg! Expect 10 to 13 rainy days per month.

    The first snow is here with us in Stockholm! 😍❄

    Södermalm (the South Island) is the largest of all the islands that make up Stockholm. For the majority of Stockholm`s existence, it has been the home of the poor and the working class. Not anymore! Today, the hipsters have well and truly transformed Södermalm into a trendy place to live, work and play. 🐱‍👓

    What`s a better winter activity than museum hopping? Not much, if you ask us. Let us introduce you to Bygdøy (also known as museum heaven), the peninsula in Oslo where you find a big collection of museums close to each other. Perfect! ❄️

    Our favourite time of the year is here! 🎅🏻🎄 If you are in Stockholm for this festive season, make sure you make it a tasty one 😋 and try:

    🌟 Freshly baked saffron buns, also called “lussekatter”, preferably filled with almond paste.

    🌟 Gingerbread cookies and having them with blue cheese, it’s an odd yet delicious combo, we promise!

    🌟 Freshly made candy cane, if you pop into @gamlastanspolka and find them baking the candy canes, they often let you try the mix. Soft candy cane should be a thing!
