Trips With Kids

Karl Johans Gate

After an intense morning, where we visited the museums located on the Bygdøy peninsula  we headed toward the city, specifically decided to visit the most famous street of Oslo – Karl Johans Gate.

Street connects the building of the Royal Palace (Slottet) to the train station (Jernbanestasjon). The whole street is a huge pedestrian area, and it is surrounded by historic buildings such as the National Theatre, the Parliament (Stortinget), National Gallery (Nasjonalgalleriet) and University. The street is noisy and lively.

The trip we are starting at the Royal Palace, located on an elevation, from where we can view whole city center. First stage of the road near the palace is a gravel road with small pebbles. In the front of the Royal Palace there are guard soldiers. The castle can not be visited by tourists.
