In Juli 2016 the last payphone was cut off, after 85 years of service. These phone kiosks have been part of our life since the 1930s, and their design is iconic.

100 Telephone kiosks, spread all across Norway, were nominated to be preserved as cultural heritage (https://telenorkulturarv.no/en/the-red-telephone-booths). Many have been "adopted" by nearby libraries and cultural institutions, and changed into book exchange shelves.

Have a look inside them, or ask our guide to show you one, next time you are in Oslo!

It is getting darker and darker fast here in Oslo. Luckily there are a lot of things to do in the dark as well:

This weekend is the free art festival called Fjord Oslo (31.10 til 03.11). Every day from 18:00 til 23:00 you can walk along the harbour promenade and enjoy light sculptures and projections onto landmark buildings.

The Oslo Museum had a Halloween guiding of Frogner Manor, bringing history back to life, with candlelight.

Luckily we are no longer dependent solely on candlelight in these dark days anymore. Oslo got its first electric streetlights already in december 1892 along Karl Johans gate. The main office of Oslo's Lighting / Electric works was located in an impressive building at Sommerrogata 1. This monumental building now houses Hotel Sommerro and its beautifully rennovated bars, restaurants and rooms are worth a visit.

Our Oslo Guides hope to show you around in Oslo soon!

Did you know that there is a beautiful light installation in Østbanehallen, right where is located?
It is designed by ÅF Lighting and is called "Solloppgang" (Sunrise). The light designer got inspired by how the sun would come through the old opening in the East, in the days when the trains still departed from here.

"Denne opplevelsen var sterk for de fleste som var forventningsfulle til en ny dag og en ny reise. Vi har med den omtalte lysveggen forsøkt å gjenskape en følelse man hadde, uten å forsøke å kopiere selve lyset" (This experience was strong for many who were filled with expectations for the new day and new journey. We wanted to recreate this feeling, without trying to exactly copy the light) - Linda Knoph, light designer in Aftenposten 02.03.2017.

Local tip: Every day at exactly 18:00 this artwork comes to life, and the colours change with the music played. A true "Gesamtkunstwerk" worth visiting.

Det er verdt å besøke Oslo - også om høsten:

Nyt høstfargene før bladene faller av!

"Et fargerikt teppe
kler skogen til fest
en vinter i vente
der høsten er best.

En tornado av farger
gir sjelen min ro
for her vil jeg bygge
Ja, her skal jeg bo.

Naturens stier
de skal vi gå
men husk at du alltid
litt varsomt må trå.

Naturen har krefter
i vann og i vind
så gå ut og se den
med åpnede sinn."

Today 20th of June the day the "sun stands still"! This idea comes from the latin name for this day is "Solstitum" which literally means this. In Norwegian we say "Sommersolverv", the day we say the sun turns. On this day the sun can be seen higher in the sky at midday than any other day of the year. On this day you can see the midnight sun north of the arctic circle (latitude 66,5 north). This is a lovely day for a late night stroll to keep exploring this city - the sun might not let you sleep today anyways! Photo: VisitOSLO/Fara Mohri ❤️

How to best enjoy the Akerhus Fortress in summer? Apart from its historical significance as a medieval castle and royal residence dating back to 1299, later readaption as a fortress in 1592 and to a renaissance castle between 1637-1648 (Thanks to for the facts!) The fortress grounds have so many more contemporary uses. This year (Middelalderfestivalen) is being organized 31st of May - 2nd of June at Akershus Fortress. Here you can partake in many medieval activities for both adults and children including sword fighting, archery, theater performances, historical reenactments and historical games. The possibilities are limitless! Photo by Stein Bolstad ❤️

The 8th of May is Liberation and Veterans Day in Norway. This day is commemorated to celebrate our freedom and honour the Norwegian veterans from the Second World War, as well as other opposition figures and civilians who contributed to this struggle. On this day in 1945 Norway was liberated after five years of occupation. On this day you may see several commemorations of this historical day and those who lost their lives at different places around the city, most notable on Akershus Castle and Fortress. For more information about this historical time period we can reccomend a visit to Norway's Resistance Museum at the fortress.
You may also want to visit Roseslottet at Holmenkollen - the five golden pillars represents each one of the years Norway was under occupation. Containing more than 300 art pieces this outdoor art project will reamin open until the end of 2025. Photo (Akershus): Steinar Bolstad, Photo (Roseslottet): VisitOSLO/ Sandbox ❤️

Today, 1st of May, is international workers day! What better way to commemorate this day than by taking a stroll along the Akerselva river? We offer weekly historic river walks every Sunday! (More information for booking can be found in the link in our Instagram bio, in our Facebook events or on our website.)
The Labour museum is located in the former industrial area close to the river and exhibits much of Oslo's labour history. A tradition in Oslo is that the workers movements and unions gather on Youngstorget, one of Oslo's central squares, to give speeches regarding workers rights. Did you know that the 8 hour workday was implemented in Norway in 1919? Photos: Stein Bolstad ❤️

The Oslo City Hall opened to the public in 1950. The vision for this building is to be the whole citys "living room" - entrance is free and is open most days there aren't other official events scheduled, from 9:00-16:00. The building houses the largets Carillion in the Nordic region. The 49 bells ring every hour from 7 am until midnight, starting and ending the day with songs by famous Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg.
The City Hall is the site of the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony which is awared here each year on December 10th at 1pm. The town hall is the seat of the city's administration, the city council. If you visit the building you may even be a witness to one of the many marriages that takes place in the building every day! Photos: Stein Bolstad ❤️

The library also offers a rich activities programme for children and youth.
