Are you tired of having to be a part of large tour groups? Well, don’t worry because this self-guided audio tour through Oslo was made for you! Explore the downtown highlights of Oslo with me the right way: Walk at your own pace, relax when you feel like it, and take as much time as you like.
The tour starts from Oslo's famous public square in front of the town hall and traces a route up to the Royal Palace, before walking down Karl Johan Avenue, Oslo’s main street. Along the way, I'll fill you in on some of Norway's history, its royal family and its famous writers. You’ll take in Oslo's famous historic sights and also experience a more modern side of Oslo, with its shops, street musicians and parliament. We'll end the tour in Bjørvika, a bay with a perfect view of the National Opera and Ballet.
The tour is ready whenever you are and the audio plays automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smartphone's GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline.
