"Royal Strolling in the Palace Gardens If you fancy a stroll in the park but don't want to stray too far from the city centre, look no further than the Royal Palace Gardens. A typically romantic park featuring ponds, creeks, bridges and a whopping two thousand trees, the park dates from 1838 and has been a classic ever since. Statues are dotted around the park, some by famous Norwegian sculptor Gustav Vigeland. His Majesty the King's Guard have their HQ there, in a beautiful Swiss chalet style house dating from 1845. Dronningparken, a smaller park within the Royal Palace Gardens, is the Royal Family's private park and has a larger array of flowers and shrubbery than the other parts of the park. Dronningparken (the Queen's Park) dates from 1751 and is open to the public from May to October."
We just took a stroll up not expecting much, the palace was closed but we managed to see the change of the Royal Guards. This was a very enjoyable experience even through we are anti royalist, the fact is was free viewing helped.

Slottsplassen on Karl Johans gate is pure magic – a perfect blend of history, beauty, and calm. Standing here, you feel the pulse of Oslo, with the majestic Royal Palace towering above and the lush greenery all around.

Beautiful building.
You can't go in but it is worth a visit to admire the outside and the area around the palace.

Really beautiful and worth a visit. The highness was at home according to the flag that’s waving.

The palace is worth a visit if you don't have other priority destinations. Overall, it's a pleasant place with beautiful natural elements like trees.

Beautiful home and grounds of Norwegian Royal Family. We were able to take pictures with royal guards. Not something we thought we could do especially after visiting Buckingham Palace or other English royal reside.ces.
