A self guided audio tour of Oslo.
Oslo sits at the head of a long fjord, the city and the water always in conversation. The centre is unhurried and easy to walk, from the waterfront opera house up through neighbourhoods of dark timber and pale stone, with the forested hills visible from almost every street. It is a city that feels genuinely at ease with itself.
In the app, 100 stops in Oslo are narrated aloud, about 2h 50m of listening across 8 walking routes, in 13 languages, offline once downloaded. Choose a route or build your own, then walk while a calm voice tells you the story of each stop. The app also maps 100 Instagram photo spots, social media photo locations with directions to where you stand for the shot.
The opening lines of a few narrations, straight from the tour.
"It's hard to say exactly when they started building it, but most historians believe construction began in the late 1290s."
"When you walk through these grounds, you are walking over layers of history."
"You are standing in a place that represents a massive artistic journey."
"When you walk up to this building, it really makes you feel like it's rising out of the water."
"You're standing in a place with a deep connection to Norwegian identity and architecture."
"You are standing outside a building that represents a massive consolidation of Norwegian art."
