Are you ready to turn your hobbies into a business?
A cannonball from 1665 is still embedded in Bergen Cathedral's wall, a souvenir from a failed English raid on Dutch treasure ships. This self-guided audio tour walks you through centuries of stories, from the Viking king who founded the city to the resistance cell that hid a radio room in the old German quarter and nearly blew up Bryggen.
You'll follow the harbour from Torgallmenningen to Bergenhus Fortress, learning how German merchants trapped fishermen in debt, why a composer with Scottish roots became Norway's most beloved musician, and how a doctor's illegal experiment changed medical ethics.
Start whenever you like, pause for coffee or rain, and pick up where you left off. Everything...
