Oslo and Lillehammer

Oslo, the capital of Norway, is a vibrant and rapidly growing city known for seamlessly blending modern architecture and a rich cultural scene with stunning natural beauty. Situated between the Oslo Fjord and the vast Marka forests, it offers a high quality of life and a unique urban experience.

The Oslo Royal Palace (Det Kongelige Slott) is Norway's official royal residence, a neoclassical landmark in central Oslo, built for King Carl Johan in the 1820s-1840s, serving as the working palace for the monarchy, hosting state events, and offering public tours in summer, famous for its lush Slottsparken and the daily changing of the guard ceremony at 1:30 PM.
