Event Description

Welcome to the enchanting city of Oslo, the vibrant capital of Norway, where history, culture, and natural beauty converge to offer an unforgettable winter walking tour experience. In the heart of the city, you'll explore its rich heritage, from the medieval fortress of Akershus to the modernist architecture of the Oslo Opera House, all while being enveloped in the cozy embrace of Oslo's Christmas spirit. Stroll through the charming streets of the historic Gamlebyen (Old Town), adorned with festive lights and decorations, and discover the storybook setting of the Royal Palace, where the wintry atmosphere transforms the city into a wonderland. A journey along the serene waters of Oslo Fjord, with its glistening icy shores, will lead you to Bygdøy Peninsula, home to world-class museums, including the Viking Ship Museum and the Fram Museum, where tales of exploration come to life against a backdrop of snow-covered landscapes. This winter walking tour will take you on a captivating journey through Oslo's most iconic destinations, blending the old and the new, as you immerse yourself in the city's captivating Christmas culture and breathtaking snowy landscapes.

Meet the Host, Kelsey Betzelberger

A Chicago native, Kelsey is an experienced travel writer, opera singer & German teacher. She just moved to Spain with her husband & two cats, and loves to eat! She has traveled (mostly solo!) to 47 countries on 6 continents, and lived in Austria, Germany, France, Croatia, England, the Netherlands & Spain.

Fan of the phrase, "I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list!", she can't wait to explore the world with her fellow culture- and travel-lovers. Expect gorgeous sites, fascinating stories and close-ups of food. Let's get ready for takeoff! 

Preparing for the Event

For the best experience, you will need to have Zoom downloaded onto your computer. Please ensure you're connected to broadband/wifi rather than using your mobile phone connection (3G/4G).

We also recommend that pets are either calmly sitting on your lap or in another room, and any refreshments you may require are within your reach!

More Information

What if I can’t make the event?

If a recording’s available for the event, you can still register for it and we will send you an email with a link to a recording shortly after it ends.

Will my camera be on and will I be visible to the other people?

Your camera and microphone does not need to be on for you to enjoy the event. The choice about whether to do this is completely yours.

How do I watch the live event?

Rest Less events are hosted on Zoom, a computer application that allows you to attend online events just by clicking a link. For detailed instructions, please go to our "FAQ" page, which you can find a link to in the nav bar at the top of the page.

How do I sign-up for and access the recording? (Recorded events only)

Book the event as normal (as if you are attending live). After the event ends you will automatically receive a post-event email with a link to the recording, as long as the event was recorded. You do not need to do anything else and there is no separate booking process for recordings only. Please note it can take up to 24 hours for Zoom to process recordings.
