"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."

I think this is the Royal Palace in Oslo, interesting place. Go to see some soldiers doing some marching drills. And got to walk around the outside of whole palace and it was free.

Palace was closed for refurbishment when we visited 19.9.25 but we did have the pleasure off watching the changing of the guard and the marching band which comes up to the palace from the road below. Try to visit at the time of the change but I'm not sure how regularly the change occurs.

Slottsplassen, the open square in front of the Royal Palace, is one of the most peaceful and elegant spots in Oslo. Standing there, you get a clear view of the beautiful Royal Palace at the top of the hill, surrounded by trees and greenery. It’s a perfect place to take a slow walk, especially on a sunny day. The atmosphere feels calm and safe, and there’s a nice balance between locals passing by and tourists taking photos. What I really liked about Slottsplassen is how open and inviting it is. You can walk all the way up to the front of the palace and watch the royal guards as they stand at their posts. If you’re lucky enough to be there at 1:30 p.m., you’ll see the changing of the guards — it’s not a big, flashy ceremony, but it’s authentic and charming. In winter, the area looks magical with snow around the palace and trees, while in summer, it’s full of green and life. It’s also located right at the end of Karl Johans gate, so you can enjoy a nice walk from the city center straight up to the palace. A must-see place for anyone visiting Oslo — calm, scenic, and full of history.

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.

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

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