Itinerary
Located in a former train station, the Nobel Peace Center is dedicated to the Nobel Peace Prize, awarded on December 10th every year.
Oslo City Hall is home to the local government and hosts the award ceremony for the Nobel Peace Prize. Rich in artworks with motifs from Norwegian history, culture and working life, it is a true Oslo gem.
For over 100 years, The National Theatre has been the country's main arena for Norwegian performing classic and innovative theatre productions and grand celebrations.
The Royal Palace is the official residence of the present Norwegian monarch, and most of the members of the Royal Court work here.
Karl Johans is the main pedestrian street of Oslo and approx 1020 meters long. Lined with impressive buildings and boutiques, this is where you go to "shop until you" drop.
The Parliament of Norway (Stortinget) is located right along the main pedestrian street Karl Johans gate, and houses various occupations and activities.
Akershus Fortress is one of the impressive landmarks of the City of Oslo, located along the water and overlooking the Oslo Fjord.
Bankplassen (The Bank Square) indicates where the Bank of Norway was once located. The square is also known for Engebret Café, which was frequented by famous Norwegians such as Ibsen and Munch.
Walk through Christiana Torv, where we find the statue of Christian IV’s hand. The area Kvadraturen ("The Quadrature") is named after the rectangular street pattern of Christian IV's Renaissance town.
Vigeland Park is home to over 200 sculptures sculpted by one man only. Learn more about the man behind them, Gustav Vigeland (and pick your favourite!)
The Fram Museum is a top-rated attraction in Oslo that tells the story of Norwegian polar exploration and the nation's polar heroes. Its two buildings display two original polar ships, the Gjøa and the Fram, that were used to explore the two most hostile regions in the world: the Arctic and the Antarctic.

About Oslo
Oslo is Norway's capital at the head of the Oslofjord, a green city of sculpture, Viking ships, polar-ship museums, an opera house and forests for skiing.
Oslo sits at the head of the Oslofjord, surrounded by forested hills and dotted with islands, and it is one of Europe's greenest capitals. The waterfront has the Opera House, a white marble building with a sloping roof that visitors can walk on, and Akershus Fortress, a medieval castle above the harbour. City Hall, a brick building with large murals, is where the Nobel Peace Prize is presented each December.
Top-ranked sights in Oslo: Akershus Castle (Akershus Slott), Oslo Royal Palace (Kongelige Slott), Oslo City Hall (Radhuset).
