Overview

Step back in time to the 1940s, when Nazi Germany occupied Oslo. On this walking tour, we’ll stroll along the city’s main streets—but with a different perspective. The war left many marks on Oslo, though they are not always easy to spot. Along the way, we’ll also visit several locations featured in the film Number 24. Haven’t seen it yet? I recommend watching it before the tour for an even deeper experience.

The author’s booklet, Unretouched History, contains a map and WWII photographs from Oslo and makes a perfect souvenir. One copy is included with each booking.

If your preferred tour date is marked as unavailable, please send a message with your desired tour time. We may still be lucky and find an opportunity to arrange a meeting.

It is possible to combine WWII and Jewish tour.
