Christmas tours in Oslo

Whether you see the Northern Lights when you visit Norway, you’ll undoubtedly be seeing a lot of Christmas lights in the capital! Join us as we keep the cosiness going all winter long with our Christmas tours in Oslo.

Why choose a Christmas tour in Oslo?

Our markets. Our iconic trees. Our fantastically-fashionable knitwear. There are so many things that make the Christmas season so…well Christmassy in Oslo. With our Christmas tours in Oslo, we want to bring all of those ‘hyggelig’ (or cosy) vibes into one experience for you. Being a Northern country, Norway’s winters are known to be quite cold and dark, which is why the Christmas cheer is turned up so that every street is glowing as beautifully as Rudolph’s nose!

Our Christmas tours in Oslo are also an opportunity to discover the traditions – some of which may contrast with your own country’s celebrations. You’ll learn what Norway’s Father Christmas really looks like … and why he doesn’t use the chimney in Norway! You’ll uncover the story of the mysterious beings believed to bring good or bad fortune to the farms of rural Norway and what food we (still) leave out on the doorstep to keep them all happy.

Speaking of food, your traditional Christmas dinner may look very different from the average Norwegian’s. In fact, many Norwegians have different ideas about what THE dish is to serve! Though we can all agree that the smells of roasting nuts and baked goods at the Christmas market is an experience not to miss, and we’ll even have a drop of gløgg – a winter-warmer delight for the whole family to keep us all snug in the season! And if you fancy a ski or a skate after the tour, we can point you in the right direction…though staying on your feet is up to you!

With trolls and elves greeting you on the street (mostly decorations!) you’ll feel right at home while away from home when you visit the Norwegian capital of Oslo this Christmas.
