Marianne, our guide, has customized the walk based on our interests and showed us the city from an unconventional angles. Her subtle sense of humor was a nice touch. Her recommendations for not so touristy places to eat and drink like locals were also excellent. Thank you!

Our City Unscripted host, Marianne, was wonderful and gave us a great sense of Oslo culture and history on our first day in the city. The information we learned helped us plan out remaining days in the city. I definitely recommend City Unscripted!!

What you’ll do

Oslovian's will think you're a local, as you wander off the beaten track to hidden gems with your in-the-know host, like darting past the crowded palace to a treasure trove of miniature glass bottles and skipping Gustav Vigeland's park to see the work of his lesser-known brother in a moody Mausoleum. Stroll away from the famous Karl Johans street to tucked-away tiny nook Torggata, cramped with cozy cafés and trendy stores, perfect for a colorful photo op. On the other side of a Viking-like fortress, discover a too-cool-for-school food truck court with a dash of sustainability, nestled on the edge of the Oslo fjord. Nearby nabolag Tøyen may be famous for the Munch Museum, but underneath its suburban facade lies a bursting street art scene.
