Castle · Oslo, Norway
Akershus Fortress
A medieval castle on the harbour that was never taken by siege, with the government quarter and the fjord on either side of it.
Accessibility

Getting there
The Bergen and Dovre railways are two of Europe's great train rides and cost less than the equivalent flight if booked early. All of Norway →

We do not hold opening hours, prices or a website for this
Those are the three fields that go stale fastest and the three you are most damaged by being wrong about, so this site does not carry them at all rather than carrying an unverified version. Check the operator or the municipality on the day. The estimate of how long to give it, and the season, are editorial judgements and are usually stable.
Other places in Oslo
MUNCH
Thirteen floors on the waterfront holding the artist's own bequest — 26,000 works, including the versions of The Scream worth arguing about.
Fram Museum
The polar ship Fram kept whole indoors, with her hull open so you can walk the decks that drifted across the Arctic for three years.
Vigeland Sculpture Park
212 bronze and granite figures by one sculptor in one park, free and open at every hour, including four in the morning.
Oslo Opera House
A roof that comes down to the water so the public can walk up it, which is the building's actual argument.
