Most of the most important institutions and attractions
in Oslo are within walking distance from each other.
You would think you are somewhere in the South of Europe
when you see all the people walking about.
Akershus slott, Akershus Castle and Fortress
The building of the castle started in 1299
and it has been expanded several times.
Several of the halls are still used today for official
receptions and dinners by the government.
The Castle Church
In front of Rådhuset, the City Hall
Bankettsalen, the Banquet Hall
The City Hall was drawn by architects Arnstein Arneberg
and Magnus Poulsson in 1918,
but the actual building of the Hall lasted until 1947.
Some of the Nobel festivities are held here.

Thank you for sharing! What lovely blue sky, and old buildings full of character! Love the rustic flagstones, old whitewashed walls and dark beams. I envy you living near places with so much history! Where I live in the US, a building is "old" if it was built in 1901. bah!
