Overview

Do you dare to explore the dark side of Oslo?
Our knowledgeable and experienced guides will tell you all about the dark stories that have unfolded on these streets. You'll hear about witchcraft, crimes, and supernatural forces that have left their mark on Oslo's history.
We'll start our tour at Oslo's City Hall entrance, where we'll hear about Vikings' beliefs. From here, we'll descend into the shadows to explore tales of a mysterious underground kingdom believed to have been inhabited by trolls and other mythical creatures.
As our tour continues, we'll venture into darker dimensions as we learn more about Norway's often-forgotten legends regarding ghostly apparitions and witches said to haunt locations around Oslo throughout its history.
