Gothenburg Underground Tour

Gothenburg Underground Tour is an audio-visual guide to four sites in Gothenburg with a hidden underground.

There you will find an augmented reality 'marker', which you can activate on a smartphone using the AR camera link. If prompted, allow access to your camera view, then point at the marker to view the augmented reality.
For each site there is also an audio guide, press the play button at the bottom of your screen to listen (press again to pause, press stop to restart).
