Oslo City Hall

Oslo City Hall, a government structure best known for yearly holding the Nobel Peace Prize celebration, is located across the street from the ferry port in Oslo's Sentrum district. Arnstein Arneberg and Magnus Poulsson, two Norwegian builders, created this 20th-century structure, which has a brick façade and two towers, one of which has a 49-bell carillon that sounds every hour. Numerous pieces of Norwegian art that portray events from the nation's past and culture can be seen inside.


Visitors to Oslo City Hall have conflicting emotions. Some were less than impressed with the structure's austere exterior. Many people, however, commended the interior of the property, particularly its impressive marble walls and thought-provoking paintings. The heart of the structure is Rdhushallen, which translates as the City Hall. It's a commanding and impressive space with its rich decoration and big dimensions. The main hall is divided into two parts. A terrace extends out on three sides, about five meters (15 feet) up. The parapet of the balcony, the walls under, and the floor are covered with Norwegian marble.


On each side of the City Council Hall, there are two halls that are symmetrically oriented and serve as vestibyles. They were undoubtedly intended to be adorned with huge ornaments because they have vast wall surfaces. In reality, a number of tourists say that these halls are pleasant must-sees. Plan a summer excursion to get a full tour of the structure. Free guided walks are offered everyday at 10 a.m., noon, and 2 p.m. between June and August.
