About this audio guide
This guide to Vippa in Oslo begins in the spring of 2017 with two people sharing coffee in an old harbour shed on the tip of the port. You'll meet graphic designer Hanne Fossaa Eriksen and a Syrian chef named Mahmoud, and learn what the building was used for before anyone thought of eating here. It also follows the tram line that once hauled grain across the city from this headland. Best heard standing near the long communal tables, with the fjord a few steps away.
