Det kongelige slott

  Built in the early 19th century, Det kongelige slott, or the Royal Palace, sits elegantly at Slottsplassen 1 in Oslo. This historic building serves as the official residence of the Norwegian monarch and features impressive neoclassical architecture. One interesting fact is that the palace was completed in 1849, after being commissioned by King Charles III John of Sweden. Visitors can explore the beautifully landscaped grounds, especially vibrant in May during the blooming season, while guided tours offer insight into royal life and the palace's rich history. During your visit, don't miss the chance to watch the changing of the guard, a daily ceremony that adds to the palace's royal atmosphere.
