Det Kongelige Slottet (The Royal Palace)

Det Kongelige Slottet (The Royal Palace) Review

At one end of Karl Johans Gate, the vanilla-and-cream-color neoclassical palace was completed in 1848. The equestrian statue out in front is of Karl Johan, King of Sweden and Norway from 1818 to 1844. The palace is closed to the public except in summer, when there are guided tours (in English). Kids of all ages will love the Royal Palace's changing of the guard ceremony, accompanied by the Norwegian Military Band, that takes place everyday at 1:30. Meet up with the guards at 1:10 at Akershus Fortress, and follow them to the palace.
