Overview

The history of Jews in Oslo and Norway is brief and distinctive. This tour is also unusual as it covers most of the history on one street. We will begin in front of the location where the first Jewish family settled in Oslo and continue up the city's main street Karl Johan. The street was always bustling with activity, and it's no surprise that Jewish businessmen also opened stores there. Monuments, the Parliament building, and even the city's main church all have some connection to Jewish history. The tour is accompanied by many visual materials and stories from Oslo's Jewish community. Tour ends by the synagogue. Unfortunately It is not always possible to visit it.
If your preferred date is unavailable, please send a message with your preferred tour time.
The author’s booklet, Unretouched History, features historical photographs, a map, and stories about Jewish history in Oslo included with every booking.
