Itinerary
Located in a former train station the Nobel Peace Center is a great place for stories such as the one about Alfred Nobel and why the Nobel Peace Prize is handed out in Norway.
Oslo City Hall is home to the local government and is, with its characteristic architecture, artworks with motifs from Norwegian history, culture and working life, a hidden gem of Oslo.
For 100 years, the National Theatre has been the country's main arena for Norwegian 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. The street was named in honour of the King of Norway, Karl III Johan who lived during the 1800s.
The Parliament of Norway (Stortionget) overlooks Eidsvolls Plass and is the country’s most important symbol of democracy.
Akershus Fortress is a medieval fortress turned Renaissance royal residence by King Christian IV in the 1600s. From here, you can enjoy a view of the spectacular Oslo fjord.
The name Bankplassen (The Bank Square) indicates that this is where the Bank of Norway was once located.
Christiania torv is named after the previous name for Oslo, Christiania. The area is today known as Kvadraturen ("The Quadrature") because of the rectangular street pattern of Christian IV's Renaissance town.

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).
