About This Experience in Oslo

Looking for a unique cultural experience in Oslo? Join a guided walk through the Palace Park and Queen’s Park, and dive into Norway’s royal history – surrounded by sculptures, flowers, and living stories. This majestic city walk is organized every Thursday at 5:00 PM, from June 1 to September 15. We begin at the equestrian statue of King Karl Johan – the man who gave Oslo’s main street its name and shaped the city’s development as a visionary urban planner. From here, we guide you through the park’s green spaces and into the royal stories: from the 1905 dissolution of the union, through World War II and the era of King Olav V, to today’s modern royal family. Along the way, we stop by sculptures, plants, and viewpoints, bringing history to life in beautiful surroundings. The tour ends in front of Oslo City Hall – with new insight and fresh impressions. Experience the history of the royal family – right where it happened.
