Sights
Oslo's main street, Karl Johans gate, forms a ceremonial axis westward through the heart
of the city to the Royal Palace. Most sights, including the harbour front and Akershus
Festning, are within a 15-minute walk of Karl Johans gate.
Whether you're artistic or literary, a peacenik or a history enthusiast, an explorer or an
athlete, chances are there is a museum in Oslo tailor-made for you. Most are clustered
around the city centre, on Bygdøy Peninsula or near Vigeland Park.
