Experiences
The Royal Palace
At one end of Karl Johans gate, the Royal Palace is a handsome 1849 neoclassical-style pile that is home to HM King Harald V and HM Queen Sonja. Open to the public from late June to mid August, there are guided tours, but outside of that, we recommend a stroll through Royal Palace Park with its majestic trees, ponds and statues and also to watch the changing of the guards which takes place daily at 1:30pm
