Oslo Architecture Walking Tours – Traditional, Contemporary or Both
Oslo Architectural Tours can be an introduction to the city’s main buildings or focused on your group’s interests.
e-architect can provide information on areas and building types ahead of your walking tour. For example a group of architects interested in Oslo office buildings could be provided with information allowing a tour programme to be agreed before their visit to Norway. Visitors can be met from their hotel accommodation or at the starting point of their Norwegian walking tour.
