Oslo Travel Guide: Karl Johans gate
Karl Johans gate is the main walking street of Oslo. It stretches from Oslo Central Station (Oslo S) on one side, to the Royal Palace (Slottet) on the other. Btw. Karl Johans gate literally means Karl Johan's Street.
The Visit Oslo tourist information office is located at the east side of Oslo Central Station. On the place outside of the station (Jernbanetorget) there is a clock tower called Trafikanten, which houses the Public Transportation Information office.
The lower parts of Karl Johan, and especially the first intersecting street, Skippergata, is infamous for junkies and street prostitution.
The second intersection street is Dronningens gate (The Queen's street). Here there is a small shopping center Arkaden. Also in Dronningens gate is Kirkeristen, which houses a few cafes and shops, and two kebab joints, Carmel Grill and Dronningens Kebab. The latter one is particularly good.
On top of Kirkeristen, in the next street which intersects Karl Johan there is a church. It is here that Norwegian royal weddings take place. Outside of the church is the site where the sea of flowers was created, following the 2011 Norway terror attacks.
Your can find all the regular chain stores in Karl Johan, but there are also some Norwegian designer shops like the Moods of Norway - Super Duper Store. There is a also a regular department store Steen & Strøm.
There are a few pubs in Karl Johan, the largest and most well known in the middle of Karl Johan is Scotsman.
I consider Egertorget to be the center of Karl Johan. Around here there is the luxury shopping mall Eger Shopping, a few restaurants and cafes, and the fast food chain Max. For some cheap beer and metal music, head down to the bar Rock In which is located slightly off Egertorget in Øvre Slottsgate.
The next intersecting street, Akersgata, houses a few luxury stores, and the record store Råkk & Rålls. A few hundred meters up Akersgata is the former government building which was destroyed in the 2011 Oslo terror attacks. Now, there is a small museum in there: 22. juli-senteret (the July 22nd center), which is free of charge.
Passed Akersgata is the parliament building, the small square called Dasslokket (the toilet lid), and the Grand Hotel.
After the parliament building there is a park called Spikersuppa (The Nail Soup), a series of restaurants including T.G.I Fridays and Hard Rock Cafe. There is also a shopping center called Paleet. Around the corner of Hard Rock Cafe, in Universitetsgaten (The University Street), there is a legendary rock joint called Last Train. And at the end of Universitetsgaten, towards the harbor, is Oslo City Hall and the National Theater.
A bit further down Karl Johan, opposite of the National Theater is Universitetsplassen (The University Place), which houses the Faculty of Law of the University of Oslo.
At the very end of Karl Johans gate is the Royal Palace. It is possible to enter parts of the Royal Palace. You enter in the back, and it costs 135 NOK. There are plenty of free things to do in the park that surrounds the Royal Castle. Apart from the park itself, and the changing of guards, there are ever changing exhibitions in the park.
A Walk Up Karl Johan Gate (Street), Oslo, Norway
Karl Johans gate is the main street of the city of Oslo, Norway. The street was named in honor of King Charles III John, who was also King of Sweden as Charles XIV John.
In its current route, it connects Oslo Central Station, the main railroad station in Oslo, and the Royal Palace. The route changes its direction and width slightly halfway between these two points, at Egertorget, a square at the intersection of Karl Johans gate and Øvre Slottsgate. This is the highest point and, here, both ends of the street may be seen. The street is 1,020 metres long; in addition there are 300 metres of direct extensions, Palace Hill (Slottsbakken) and Palace Place (Slottsplassen).
Karl Johans gate is a composite of several older streets that used to be separate thoroughfares. The eastern section was part of Christian IV's original city near the ramparts surrounding the city. When the ramparts were removed to make way for Oslo Cathedral, three separate sections eventually became Østre Gade.

Norwegian Flash Mob! Wednesday, May 20, 2014 on Karl Johan's Gate in Oslo, Norway.
This is the Forsvarets stabsmusikkorps (The Staff Band of the Norwegian Armed Forces), which is Norway's largest professional wind band, employing 39 full-time musicians. FSMK is based in Oslo and is the most prestigious of the bands of the Norwegian Armed Forces. I was lucky to have just wandered out of a store, saw the lone bassoonist, and realized it screamed of flash mob. I was just in the right place at the right time.
A Walk Around The City Centre, Oslo, Norway
The inner city centre is bounded by Oslo Central Station (Oslo S) to the east, the Royal Palace (Slottet) to the west and the seafront (from Akershus fortress to Aker brygge) to the south. It is fairly compact and easily walkable. Karl Johans gate, the mostly pedestrian main street connecting Oslo S and the Palace, is the main artery of downtown Oslo. However, several of the neighbourhoods close to the centre hold interesting sights and entertainment offerings, so to explore these you should make use of the city's comprehensive and modern public transport system.

Walks in Oslo | Karl Johan street | Norway
Hello, fantastic people!
Welcome to a mini-tour on Karl Johans gate - central street of Oslo, the capital of Norway. We'll explore the stores and sights located there.
The main shops selling Halloween stuff (also the ones I prefer):
Norway's public holiday law currently means many retailers are required to remain closed on Sundays, as well as public holidays like the Christmas and Easter holidays.
Stores with an area of under 100 square metres, as well as petrol stations and florists, are allowed to open on Sundays. For special occasions such as Christmas shopping there are exceptions. Good example is the shopping mall Oslo City that has extended opening hours right before Christmas.
The Norwegian Parliament (Stortinget) offers free of charge guided-tours:
Let me know what other parts of Oslo you want to explore next!
Have a lovely day!

A Walk Through The Vinterland, Oslo, Norway
“Jul I Vinterland” (Christmas in Winterland) is a magical Christmas universe right in the center of Oslo, around the ice skating rank “Spikersuppa” next to Karl Johans gate. In addition to the traditional Christmas market where you can find unique local products and traditional Christmas items, you can bring along the whole family to participate in a variety of Christmas activities.
Christmas in Winterland has free entrance every day!
For a truly unique experience, take a trip with the Ferris wheel and witness the best view over Oslo, 33 meters above the ground. For children there are several traditional Christmas workshops to participate in which are guaranteed to bring true Christmas spirit. One of the most popular ones is decorating and making beautiful homemade Christmas presents they can take home with them. We also offer gingerbread decoration, and meeting with Santa Claus!
