Start at the low concrete memorial near Bergen’s opera house and the past tightens around you: the Gestapo headquarters where occupation-era stories begin. The audio tour uses GPS to place theatrical narration and music as you thread through cobbled alleys, past medieval churches, market squares and the timber-fronted Bryggen harbor. The city’s stone and wood creak with stories; the narration points out cannonballs, former dungeons and the sailors who never returned.
