A nice little park across from Karl Johans Gate. Here you meet locals and tourists. In winter, the water basin is transformed into an ice rink.

Oslo's Opera House, with its angular, white facade seemingly rising from the water, is located directly on the harbor. It invites visitors year-round to climb its roof and enjoy panoramic views of Oslo and the fjord.

The Royal Palace, Oslo

Highlight • Historical Site

Beautiful park with the impressive palace. Park is public and free of charge - but the palace is not intended for the public. Great view from the palace to the Karl Johans gate.
