The Palace Park
Slottsplassen 1, 0010 Oslo, Norge 1 hour
The Palace Park is ideal for a stroll without needing a solid plan. You can wander between old monuments, explore the Queen's Park, or simply find a bench away from the main paths. There are surprisingly many quiet corners here despite the central location. We recommend walking by the small ponds behind the palace for the best atmosphere.

Grab a coffee from Fuglen or a pastry from a nearby bakery before heading into the park.
