Karl Johans gt. on Postcard

"Shopping in the Heart of Oslo Stretching from Oslo Central Station in the East to the Royal Palace in the West, Karl Johans Gate is named after King Karl III Johan, who ruled Norway and Sweden in the 19th century. Along the street you'll find many famous highlights, like the National Theatre, the Parliament, the Royal Palace (the pond of which serves as a skating rink in the winter) Central Station, The Grand Hotel - and of course, plenty of shops. The Bazaar Market (Basarene ved Oslo domkirke) is a particularly colorful place to spend your money. Popular with locals, travelers & gypsies of all sorts, no "must visit" list in Norway would be complete without at least a mention of the venerable Karl Johans Gate plaza."

Very delightful street going up to the Royal Palace, and going back down you get a nice view of the city. This is one of the most lively and well-known streets in Oslo, so very worthwhile to go for a stroll up or down this famous street and take photos of amazing views.

It is summer time now and this place is so beautiful, lively and full of people enjoying walking on the street and drinking in the pub by the streets. There are many good shopping malls for you to buy your stuff, both for locals and tourist. There are people gathering here protesting around for various issues happening around the World as well. Worth to come and soak in the environment whenever you are in Oslo.

This is Karl Johans Gate- a shopping street with hotels, shops and restaurants in one location. A vibrant street full of tourists. Take a walk to City Square Hall, National Theatre, The Royal Palace…

Shopping, shopping and more shopping! If you are a foreign visitor like to shop and get a sale tax return between 15 to 18% do remember to bring your passport with you! Most shops will fill out a receipt that you can turn it in at the airport , the sales tax will return to your account or most likely your credit card.

Karl Johans gate is an essential part of any Oslo visit. This lively main street stretches from Oslo Central Station to the Royal Palace, offering a delightful mix of shopping, dining, and historical attractions. The variety of stores, from high-end boutiques to charming local shops, ensures there's something for everyone. The numerous cafes and restaurants provide excellent spots to relax and enjoy Norwegian cuisine. The street is rich in history and architecture, with landmarks like the Stortinget (Norwegian Parliament), the National Theatre, and the University of Oslo adding to its charm. The well-maintained pedestrian areas and green spaces make it perfect for a leisurely stroll. During winter, the festive lights and ice skating rink create a magical atmosphere. While it can get crowded, especially on weekends, the vibrant ambiance and diverse activities make it a must-visit. Karl Johans gate beautifully blends modern amenities with historical significance, encapsulating the essence of Oslo. Highly recommended for a comprehensive and enjoyable experience in the heart of the city.
