Full Description
A thousand spruce trees are growing in a forest north of Oslo, and they exist to print books that nobody alive is allowed to read. The sealed manuscripts sit in a room on this route, waiting for the year 2114. This is a self-guided walking tour of Oslo that runs on your own phone. A narrated audio guide walks you from the tiger outside Central Station to a palace with no fence, past the bell that was thrown out of a tower and now rings with a foot pedal, and past the city's priciest address, named after its thieves.
