Highlights

Nobel Peace Center - 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.
Rådhuset - 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.
National Theater (Nationaltheatret) - 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 - 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 gate - 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 Norwegian Parliament - The Parliament of Norway (Stortionget) overlooks Eidsvolls Plass and is the country’s most important symbol of democracy.
Akershus Castle and Fortress (Akershus Slott og Festning) - 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.
Bankplassen - The name Bankplassen (The Bank Square) indicates that this is where the Bank of Norway was once located.
Christian IV’s Glove - 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.

Great introduction to a beautiful city! - Great tour lead by Romy. Included major points of interest with recommendations for further exploring. Lots of info about the city and lifestyle here. Fallen in love with Oslo. Feels similar to home (Auckland, NZ) but winters are a deterent, we dont get so cold.
