Magnificent City Hall - Great Location - Amazing Artwork and Murals - Inside and Outside
This is my favorite building in Norway. City Hall in Oslo is fantastic both outside and inside. The woodcuts outside tell a story and the entrance is magnificent. Inside there is so much space and room to breathe. The gigantic wall to wall murals review Norway's history and future. Rooms on the second floor are full of artwork from local artists and the art fills the rooms. On one hall, gifts from other countries are displayed in glass display cases. A super interesting exhibit to browse for sure! Outside the back of city hall is a magnificent view of the harbor. City Hall is a great place to relax and enjoy everything that is offered. Expect to spend a couple of hours exploring. If you only have time to visit one place in Oslo, this is the place to go. Oh, and it is free, as it is a working government building. Don't miss it!

Spectacular murals
There are not a lot of places in this world in which you could say, go visit the city hall. But this and Stockholm vie for the finest in the world. The vast interior space is special because the Nobel banquet is held here every December. The murals throughout the building echo the dignity of the occasion. The guided tour is well worth the charge, however you can use a guide book to find your way around if it's not otherwise convenient.

Iconic building
Everybody who has ever seen pictures of Oslo will know of this building. We tried to go in several times but closed for special events each time. However even if that happens to you just wander and take a look at the wood carvings on the walls by the entrance. Gives you a real insight int Norse mythology including some stories about THOR (TOR) for all you Marvel fans
