The Royal Palace is located on Slottsplassen in the Nobel district in the center of Oslo, easily accessible by public transportation, including metro, at stop Nationaltheatret, taking you to the southeastern entrance at Karl Johans Gate, and nearby tram 11, 17 and 18 stopping at Holbergs Plass, a 2-minute walk to the northern entrance.
The palace is open daily from mid-June to late August for guided tours only. There are four English-language tours per day starting at midday. Come at 1:30pm for the Changing of the Guard ceremony, which takes place outside the palace. While short and tidy in the winter, it’s 40 minutes of full-blown pageantry—with guards on horseback, bands, and parades along Karl Johans Gate— in the summer.
Spend time at the palace’s park grounds, amongst ponds, leafy promenades, and picnic spots. Learn a bit about Norwegian history while admiring sculptures of the country’s notables including King Carl Johan and Queen Maud, mathematician Nils Henrik Abel and women’s rights defender Camilla Collett—the latter two were made by Gustav Vigeland, whose oeuvre is on display inxa0 Vigeland Park.
