After an intense morning, where we visited the museums located on the Bygdøy peninsula we headed toward the city, and specifically decided to visit the most famous street in Oslo – Karl Johans Gate.
The street connects the Royal Palace building (Slottet) to the train station (Jernbanestasjon). The whole street is a huge pedestrian zone, surrounded by historic buildings such as the National Theatre, the Parliament (Stortinget), National Gallery (Nasjonalgalleriet) and University. The street is noisy and lively.
We started our walk at the Royal Palace, located on an elevation, from where we could view the whole city center. The first section of the road near the palace is a gravel path with small pebbles. In front of the Royal Palace there are guards. The palace cannot be visited by tourists.
In front of the Royal Palace we found a monument of Charles John III riding a horse.
We descended towards the station, on the way we pass a beautiful fountain, the National Theatre, the National Gallery, the Parliament building.
We came to Spikersuppa park with the fountain in the middle. In winter a skating rink is organized here.
Along the street there are plenty of benches, cafes and restaurants. We could find well-known fast-food shops. Typical Norway prices — a regular hamburger for about 140 NOK or 70 PLN.
There are also some souvenir shops. The shops were full of trolls 🙂
We also invite you to watch video from our walk along Karl Johans Gate:
