Check the schedule for the English language guided tours.
The Akershus Slott (castle) along with the Akershus Festning(fortress) were constructed in 1300 as a royal fort and residence to protect Oslo when it became Norway's capital. The structures, rebuilt and enlarged over the centuries, serve as city icons.
The fortress museum details the structure's history and the castle guided tour leads you through state rooms, banquet halls, and into the bleak dungeons.
