This fortress is set on a hill overlooking Oslo harbour. It’s huge and would have withstood anything thrown at it. Well worth a look

Lack of direction/sign and information, what to see/due is up to you. Area is large and plan 2-3 hours if you are seen all. Combinations of older buildings, museums and older military equipment. Okey to see!

I checked the internet regarding the opening hours on Sunday - it showed a 12.00 noon opening for the castle, still it was closed. Fortunatelly there was a christening ceremony at the church so we could walk in and have a look at it. Otherwise...More

The Akershus Castle is a nice place to visit in Oslo! I enjoy walking around the compound. There is plenty to see and I got some nice photographs during my visit!

Many times after work i will walk for 30 minute in this place give me relax and i can think about life.

Inspiration for the “Frozen” castle. Situated along the harbor. Free to walk around and explore the grounds. Great elevated views of the harbor.

Not a very large castle, but quite pretty and very tranquil when we visited it in the morning. Close to the city and the cruise harbour so pretty accessible. Certainly worth spending some time there while you are in Oslo
