# Free Walks and Sights in Oslo

> Free Things To Do In Oslo lists seven pay-what-you-want walking tours in the city, five on GuruWalk and two on freetour.com, alongside a directory of Oslo attractions sorted as free, conditionally free or paid. The site sells nothing itself and runs no tours. Referral fees from reservations made through its links are its only income, and every walk stays free to book, with guides paid by whatever you choose to tip.

Throughout this directory, free means pay what you want. No walk carries a fixed price, and booking one costs nothing up front. You tip the guide at the end, at whatever amount feels right. Where a walk involves an out-of-pocket extra, the tour description says so plainly, so nothing on the day takes you by surprise.

Oslo's headline attractions are often conditionally free rather than simply free. A museum may waive entry on certain days, or a park may be open to all while the building beside it charges. Each institution sets its own rules, and none transfers: Oslo kommune governs parks, Nasjonalmuseet runs the National Museum, Forsvarsbygg manages Akershus Fortress. Every entry here states its own terms.

## Seven Walks, Two Areas

- [Sentrum & Karl Johan](https://freethingstodoinoslo.com/#sentrum-and-karl-johan): Sentrum and Karl Johan: six of the seven walks, most of them two hours, covering the ground from Oslo Central Station along Karl Johans gate past the National Theatre to the Royal Palace.
- [Bjorvika & Opera](https://freethingstodoinoslo.com/#bjorvika-and-opera): Bjorvika and the Opera: the one walk outside the city core, Free Tour of the Contrasts of Oslo, starts at the Oslo Opera House and runs two hours with LOCAL Walking Tours.

## Five Walks Get A Homepage Card

Five of the seven walks carry a featured card on the homepage: three on GuruWalk, two on freetour.com. Ratings and review counts appear as each platform publishes them, on its own scale: GuruWalk out of 5, freetour.com out of 10. The two scales do not compare directly, so every card says which one it uses.
