Oslo was founded back in 1048 by the famous King Harald Hardrade. It was around the 1300’s that the city became the capital of the country and since has been destroyed and reconstructed several times. While nothing really remains of the medieval Oslo, you will get to see some abandoned ruins. Oslo is largely a farmer’s country but historical sites have been aptly conserved in parks and in the modern city periphery.
Located on the city’s main avenue, the Karl Johan’s Gate, the Royal Palace is a 19th century building built for the royal family. A vast architecture with 173 rooms, make this among the first historical monuments in your itinerary. The Royal Palace has a long history of wealth and devastation and today stands as the residence of the present Norwegian monarch.
