The official residence of the King and Queen of Norway
Built in the early 19th century, The Royal Palace is the official residence of King Harald V and Queen Sonja of Norway. It is also the daily workplace of the Royal Court and serves as a venue for many official functions, such as gala dinners and visits from foreign heads of state.
The southern and eastern gardens are open to the public and are serene spots to relax and feed the ducks in the pond. Palace tours are also available from the end of June to mid August, and the ever popular Changing of the Guard occurs each afternoon at 13:00.
