Oslo Travel Guide: Karl Johans gate
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- 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.
I love how you give a lot of info regarding rock and metal places in Oslo. And your sense of humor is absolute gold.
Tusen takk for this video! Can't wait to be there next month.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked the video. Keep in mind that some of these places have moved to new locations since I made this video. You can always find their current location on Google Maps. And there is at least one new venue that has opened: g.page/Vaterland_oslo
@@OsloProJonas Yeah, I could imagine that many things have changed in the meantime, but the video gave me anyways some useful info about the overall structure of the city and it will help me to choose the right hotel to stay at. Sadly I will be there just for one day, after my Lofoten trip, and I will spend most of the day at Spektrum for a concert...but, since I managed to drag my parents into this trip, and they are not coming to the concert, I want to give them as much info as possible about Oslo sightseeing. Tusen takk for verdifulle råd, Jonas!

Loved it in Oslo, was there in February and just posted my video 😀
Thank you very much for this video
Cool video! Thanx for the info!
Nice tour, I will be visiting Oslo this coming September.
September is usually nice in Oslo. Fall has just started, but it won't be too cold. Weather is usually dry, but it can be a bit windy. I also like August through October in Oslo because then everybody is back from vacation, all the students are back, and there's a lot going on in the city. If you go out a Friday or Saturday evening, everywhere is gonna be packed.
Hi Oslopro, I'm going to Oslo next week. What would you recommend as a good day trip out of the city? I'm keen to see some nature and mountains.
To the north of Oslo is a vast forest called Nordmarka. It is accessible many places by public transportation.
I haven't been there myself, but a popular destination is Kikut, which is the highest point in Nordmarka, it literarly means "lookout". There is a restaurant and the possibility for lodging there as well, see www.kikutstua.no. The shortest way to Kikut is to take the bus to Sørkedalen and walk from there. Another route is to take bus 51 to Skar in Maridalen, and go from there. Google map knows the way to "Kikustua" :)
There are so many places to go in Nordmarka, and I don't even know half of them. Maybe you can get some help from the Norwegian Trekking Association website: english.dnt.no
Nice video ....coming soon to Oslo ...
Very useful info! Tq very much 👍
Hey, herlige videoer! Kan du lage en video ''Nightlife: Pubs / Nightclubs''??

Hi! How long did you have to walk from the beginning of the street up to the Royal Palace?
It will take you 15-20 minutes to walk the length of Karl Johan, but you should set aside 2-4 hours if you want to see anything. I think I used 3-4 hours, but I wasn't in any hurry.
Thank you for the reply! Your videos have been so helpful for those who are going to Oslo. Keep it up!
Please show me rugby ground in oslo
I am intersting about Rock in. but there is not have website. is there having a live performance of heavy metal?
Their website is www.rockinoslo.com, and it seems there are no scheduled concerts, but it's not a typical concert place. Another metal venue you may want to check out is Kniven (The Knife). Most metal bands however play at venues in Oslo like Revolver, Mono, Gamla, Centrum Scene, John Dee or Rockefeller. The last three are strictly concert places. Check www.ticketmaster.no for larger bands which have to be pre-booked. Check www.underskog.no/kalender/ for less famous bands where tickets are sold at the door.
OsloPro tusen takk
Where i can go???
Got it.it wil find out
why not :D
Hi, I love ur videos but I really wanna know if all of the luxury brands like Gucci, fendi, balanciaga, luivutton, dolce & gabbana, zara, dior, chanel etc are available in Oslo.
Plz make a video on this.
dudes funniest Norwegian ever.
kjempebra!!
Why not show some real Norwegian cuisine!?
What Norwegian cuisine?! All Norwegians eat kebabs and pasta!
LOve to eat norwegian salmon and homemade lefse!
Norway has shit cuisine. You can find decent places in Oslo but what those places serve is not exactly ”Norwegian food”. The average Joe basically lives on boring sandwiches with brown cheese and frozen pizza. Maybe i’m wrong but this is the impression i got during my few short stays.
@@pekkalanger5076 Actually acurate, the only good food is food during holidays.
Karl Johan walking street? Nei, det heter det vel ikke :)
+HeleneRT Det heter det nå ☺️
You’re so adorable. My god
Good tour. Pub called Scotsman? lol Not knowing anything about you father, I'm guessing it's for the older gentlemen?
In particular older gentlemen from Northern Norway. I don't know why this place appeals so much to them. Maybe just because it's a classic pub in the middle of Karl Johan.
I think I know what you mean lol. I nearly went to Oslo to see A-ha on the final of their tour in 2016 but didn't go in the end :/ I bet it was busy in Oslo then. Hope I can go one day though.
oslo is expensive
Screw Obama. I prefer to meet Morten Harket from A-Ha 👍
