This immersive audio tour tells the historical story of Oslo as you explore the city on foot. The downloadable, self-guided audio and accompanying map will guide you through streets and waterfronts at your own pace, so you can pause the narration whenever you like and take time for a break, a bite to eat or some shopping along the route.

Along the way you will see notable landmarks such as the Viking Ship Museum and the medieval Akershus Fortress. As you move through different areas, the narration will explain the important role the sea has played in Oslo’s development over the past 800 years and how that maritime history has shaped the lives of the people who live here today.

The tour is designed for independent discovery and is presented in English only.
