OSLO GRUNERLØKKA FOOD & CULTURE WALKING TOUR
Discover Oslo’s Coolest Vibes on the Food and Culture Walking Tour!
Step into Oslo’s food culture with a guided walk through Grünerløkka, a lively district known for its cafés, street art, and riverside paths. Over the course of 2.5 hours, you’ll discover how Norwegians eat — from traditional dishes to modern twists — while enjoying four carefully chosen tasting stops.
Come hungry and curious as you explore the alternative heart of Oslo through its flavours and stories. Starting at the historic Mathallen food hall, your guide will lead you on a walk through the buzzing district of Grünerløkka, where industry once ruled and culture now thrives. You’ll follow the Akerselva river, past colourful street art and local landmarks, and learn how this former working-class area became a hotspot for creativity, food, and culture.
