Royal Tales in the Heart of Oslo
★ 4.9 · 127 reviewsBy Oslo Guidebureau
In 1905, Norway became an independent nation, and we chose a new king and queen. But how did this come about, and why were they chosen? During our walk among the sculptures in the beautiful Palace Park and Queen’s Park, we will explore the fascinating history of Norway’s royal family – from the dissolution of the union, through the challenges of World War II, to our People’s King, Olav V, and the modern royal family, who navigate both admiration and criticism in today’s society.
Along the way, we will also take time to enjoy the park’s stunning flowers and plants. The tour will end in front of Oslo City Hall.
