Bergen Self-Guided Audio Tour: Landmarks, Grieg, Ibsen & WWII
Overview
Bergen was Norway’s medieval capital, the hometown of Edvard Grieg, and the city where a young Henrik Ibsen learned his craft in the theatre. During the Second World War, the Gestapo ran its regional headquarters here, and you’ll pass the building on this walk.
This one-hour audio tour plays on your phone and follows you as you walk. It’s a GPS-triggered story walk through the city centre, past statues, squares and the cathedral, and it finishes by the harbour, a few minutes from the Fish Market and Bryggen.
Start whenever you like, pause for coffee or rain, and pick up where you left off. Everything works offline. The tour is short enough to fit around a cruise stop or a fjord trip.
Highlights
- Hear how Bergen went from medieval capital to Norway’s second city, told stop by stop as you walk
- Walk the main shopping street, Torgallmenningen, to the Sailors’ Monument, the cathedral and the narrow wooden lanes of Skostredet
- About 1 hour, with lifetime access to replay the tour.
