Overview

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. 

Meeting points

Before arrival, please install the VoiceMap mobile app and use the code provided on your confirmation ticket. This is a self-guided audio tour that you can start, pause, or restart at any time and complete at your own pace. Detailed starting point instructions are available after downloading.

Itinerary

  • Aker Brygge (Pass By)

    Aker Brygge is a shopping center built on the remains of an old shipyard. It's a popular meeting spot to grab a bite to eat or a drink after work.

  • Nobel Peace Center (Pass By)

    The Nobel Peace Center building used to be an old railway station, where trains from the western parts of Norway arrived. The building now serves as a museum about the Nobel Peace Prize and tells the story of the Peace Prize founder Alfred Nobel, as well as past winners.

  • The Palace Park (Pass By)

    The park that surrounds the Royal Palace was built during the 1840's. It has many majestic trees, well-kept lawns and beautiful ponds, some of them with fountains. The park is a popular recreational area for the citizens of Oslo, and even served as a base for hippies in the mid-1960's.

  • Karl Johans Gate (Pass By)

    Paris has its Champs Elysees, New York has its Broadway, Oslo has Karl Johan Avenue – or just “Karl Johan”. The first part of the street was already established in the 1500s, but since 1852 it has been known as “Karl Johan” – named after the King.

  • Ostbanehallen (Pass By)

    In the old days the Østbanehallen was the central railway station for the northern routes in Norway. After a complete transformation, the Østbanehallen reopened in 2015 and features shops, restaurants, a hotel and the Oslo Visitor Center.

Introduction to Oslo

Published on Dec, 2023

Great introduction to Oslo through this audio tour - enabled me to take it at my own pace, and stop and enjoy various points along the route. Very easy to follow and quite informative. Would look to do similar tours again.

Another excellent audio tour from VoiceMap

Published on Sep, 2023

I came across VoiceMap earlier this year and since then I have downloaded several self guided audio city tours. I love this way of discovering a new city, without being tied down to a group tour, but able to pause and resume whenever I like, and even take a diversion if I wish. The narrative is very informative and I like the occasional personal touches that the guide mentions. The narration sometimes goes quiet while you walk a stretch, then resumes when you get to the next point of interest, so you don’t feel overloaded with information.

Good price downloadable funny very informative audio tour

Published on Oct, 2019

I downloaded it directly from App Store so its a little cheaper than via trip advisor. But thanks to Trip Advisor I found this lovely app! Walked from Central station to the starting point and passed by a lot of places that the audio tour guided. I don’t know if there’s a function in the app to start the tour in the middle which would be better, but it’s still enjoyable. At least I know the way/roads more clearly having walked past once before the tour. There’s a voice showing up telling me I might have gone to wrong direction from time to time but actually I’m going towards the correct direction, so I guess the GPS sometimes malfunctions a little bit.

Great idea!

Published on Jun, 2019

This audio tour downloads to your smartphone. You can use earbuds/earphones and place your phone in your pocket during the tour. The guide tells you which way to walk and/or turn. If you get off course, a voice recommends that you check the map. In my opinion, it can be used with one of the rentable scooters (which is what I did for part of the tour)! Convenient, because you can download and go whenever you want, and can pause if you want to stop for food or shopping, etc. the start is a bit confusing because of all the construction near the first two stops. Also, this app guide you, with its own map, to exactly where to start!!! Did this tour on June 1st, 2019, and really enjoyed it.
