Royal Palace

The Royal Palace is situated on a rise, the Bellevue, at one end of Oslo’s main thoroughfare, Karl Johans gate. The Royal Palace is one of the country’s most important buildings, and a concrete symbol of the course of Norwegian history since 1814. It is where the daily work of the monarchy is conducted and where the King and Queen live. The Royal Palace is open to the public during the summer season, offering guided tours that take visitors through some of the most important and lovely rooms in the Palace, including the Council Chamber, the Banqueting Hall, and the King Haakon VII Suite
