"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."

A lovely main (shopping) street, that is mostly pedestrianised, it is so nice to walk up and down especially at night when it is all light up, the non pedestrian end currently has a Christmas market which is definitely worth a look.

A beautiful street that you can see all the way across from the Royal Palace. It is also incredible to see the Royal Palace at the top of the hill when seeing it from the other end of the street

Yup it’s busy. We’ll find other places off the neaten track to better enjoy Oslo.

The most vibrant street leading to Central Station is lined with shops and cafes. This bustling street connects the parliament to the station and is full of people. I highly recommend a visit, especially for Asian tourists; it's a very pleasant walk.

Busy street stretching from the royal castle and Karl Johan statue through the heart of Oslo. Much to see and do along the strip.

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…

Lively shopping street running through the middle of Oslo's city center. Good variety of shops and overall a nice place to stroll around.
