What To Expect
Tigeren pa Jernbanetorget
The Tiger at Jernbanetorget in Oslo is more than just a sculpture — it’s a symbol of the city’s raw energy. Gifted by Eiendomsspar in 2000 to mark Oslo’s 1000th anniversary, the bronze tiger lounges confidently in front of Oslo Central Station, welcoming travelers with a playful snarl. The nickname "Tigerstaden" (Tiger City), coined by poet Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, once implied the city’s dangers — now it suggests vitality and edge. Locals love it, tourists climb it, and it purrs at the heart of the capital’s chaos.
Barcode Oslo
Barcode Quarter in Oslo is a striking row of modern high-rises along the Bjørvika waterfront, resembling the lines of a barcode when viewed from a distance. Designed by multiple international architects, this controversial and eye-catching project redefined Oslo’s skyline starting in the 2000s. Housing offices, apartments, restaurants, and galleries, it’s a sleek contrast to the historic city center. Love it or hate it, Barcode symbolizes Oslo’s leap into bold urban modernism — glass, steel, and ambition packed into vertical rhythm.

5.00My family and I didn't want to walk in Oslo with group so we decided to try the audio guide. This is our first time using audio guide in this and we are pleased. It's very convenient that we decide how to follow the route ourselves. We divided it into three sections with breaks in between for rest, snacks, and photos. We also learned many interesting stories that we definitely wouldn't have heard if we'd been walking alone. Point with cathedral was most mesmerizing. The audio guide explains everything in a simple manner, makes appropriate jokes, and doesn't turn the walk into a lecture. I recommend it! We will use it in our next family trip
