Hi there! I do believe my review commented on the GARDENS not the actual palace... though the palace is situation in the middle of the gardens. No tickets necessary for the Gardens. They were MOST beautiful in late May. I understand if the actual palace visits have been stopped for the Corona season. Nothing to do about that I am afraid. Suggest a walking tour of the Akershus castle (outdoors) as well as a "subway" (above ground 95%) ride to Frognersæteren - with a little 15 minute walk and apple cake and coffee at the restaurant. Great view - charming trip up into the hills. Go to the Cathedral in the middle of town, and "kirkeristen" behind the cathedral. There is a little fountain under huge chestnut trees... wonderful place for a good cup of coffee or wine and pizza. Kate

No, I'm afraid the season ends on 17 August. The smal summer palace of Oscarshall will still be open for visits during the weekend first part of September, though, if that would be of interest to you. More information at royalpalace.no

It is best to buy tickets online, although there are a few tickets also available at the door. Online tickets are available from ticketmaster.no. search for Royal + Palace for tours in English. More information about the tours can be found at the Palace website - : royalcourt.no/seksjon.html?tid=80428&sek=80422 The tour entrance is at the back of the Palace. If you reach the Palace from the Palace Square (from the Karl Johan Street side), just follow the paths around the palace to the back. You will easily spot the right entrance - there is a canvas covered pavilion. Wishing you a good visit!

Tickets for the guided tours of the Palace can be purchased online at Billettservice/Ticketmaster. There are four tours in English every day, and the season starts 18 June. For more details, please visit royalcourt.no/artikkel.html?tid=29623&sek=80422

Cant really answer that one, but I guess that the royals arent as royal as the ones at the Buckingham...:)

Dear sir or Madam, I apologize for my late reply. I assume that your questions concern the church service in the Palace chapel - not the guided tours of the palace (that EAMeyn has quite correctly stated ended 16 August). It is the student ministry of Oslo that use of the chapel for their services, but all that wish to take part may attend. The entrance to the chapel is on the North side of the Palace. I assume that the service is in Norwegian, but if you want to make sure of this and ask the length of the service, please contact the student priest: studentprest@uio.no. I wish you a safe journey and hope you will enjoy your visit to Oslo and our lovely Palace chapel. On behalf of the Royal Court, Yours sincerly Liv Osmundsen

You don't have one in oslo

Hello Allix. Yes, any student who can present a valid student ID - regardless of country - is eligible for at student ticket. Someone 55+ is not automatically considered a senior citizen. But if that someone can present a valid ID proving that they are pensioners, that would make them eligible for the senior citizen's discount.

Hi Debbie, The Palace is open for guided tours in summer only, so a visit in March would be outside only. If you decide to come, around 13.30 would be a good time - that is when the Changing of the Guard takes place.
