Itinerary
You are now following the Langkaia promenade and you must be wondering what this strange glass sculpture is floating offshore. It is a work by the Italian artist Monica Bonvicini, named She Lies (translate “She Lies”).
The pretty typical house that makes the corner is the famous café Engebret. This is the oldest café in town! Still in activity since 1857, it still retains the name of its creator.
This hand pointing something at the center of the fountain tells you that you are where it all started. Or where it all started again. It was here that the Norwegian Danish king Christian IV decided to have the city rebuilt after the great fire of 1624.
You arrive at the foot of one of the most important places of the capital, its fortress of Akershus. The entrance is free and allows you to walk freely around the citadel, enjoying beautiful views of the fjord and the city.
You can take advantage of the statue of Franklin Roosevelt, well-settled facing the port and the bay of Oslo, to admire some of the views. And if you were wondering why there was a statue of the American president there, know that it was inaugurated in 1950, following his speech “Look to Norway” in which he praised the courage of the Norwegian resistance during the Second World War.
In front of the City Inn is the port of Oslo, where ferries and many marine excursions depart. You see the beautiful three mast sailing boats and the original statue of the diver who seems to be about to jump into the water with his oxygen cylinders!
You are now on the very pleasant promenade along the docks in the Aker Brygge district. It takes its name from the old Aker shipyards and mechanical workshops that occupied the place for more than a century!
The beautiful building that now stands before you with its veil-shaped glass roof is the new Museum of Modern Art in Oslo, the Astrup Fearnley Museum.
You’ve been seeing so many restaurants since you’ve been in the Aker Brygge area that it’s high time you did a little food. You don’t need me to explain that salmon is Norway’s flagship ingredient!
You are now in front of the Nobel Peace Centre. This museum is part of the network of Nobel institutions, managed by the Swedish Foundation. It is housed in the old Oslo railway station remodeled for the occasion. Inaugurated in 2005, in the presence of the royal families of Norway and Sweden, the centre presents a museum on the Nobel Peace Award and the ideals it conveys.
You are now in front of the impressive Oslo City Inn, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks! It is the administrative and political headquarters of the capital. Its architecture may be sober, but it does not go unnoticed!
Now you are facing the beautiful neoclassical facade of the Oslo National Theatre. Built in the late 19th century by architect Henrik Bull, the theatre was the most important stage in the country for more than a century.

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).
