Norway: city games
A City Game turns a walk through a city in Norway into a self-guided game. You follow a route on your smartphone, solve puzzles at real landmarks and pick up the stories behind the streets as you go. City Games run in two cities in Norway: Oslo and Bergen.
You decide when to start. Stop for a coffee or a museum visit and continue whenever you like. A game usually takes 1.5 to 2 hours and covers 3 to 4 km on foot, which makes it an easy way to see the highlights of a city in Norway in a single afternoon.

Norwegian cities sit between water and hills. Oslo has rebuilt its waterfront with an opera house you can walk up, museums along the fjord and forest at the end of the metro line. Bergen keeps the wooden warehouses of Bryggen on the old quay, a fish market beside them and a funicular that lifts you above the roofs in minutes.
Bergen is one of the rainiest cities in Europe, so a waterproof layer is worth packing. Summer evenings stay light for hours, which makes a late start easy. Compare all City Games or browse all our destinations to pick your next city.
