Karl Johans gt. — Local services in Oslo

First place and most often visited place for all tourists or migrants who go to Oslo. I went to this street almost on every alternate day during my stay of over 2+ years in Oslo.

You can get each and everything which you require for your survival in Norway.

Has numerous clubs, bars and cafes in between all the shops, shopping centers and hotels.

Main shopping brands - H&M, ONLY, Glitters, Zara, Nilson Shoes, Bikbok etc stores located here.

Norway Souvenir shops such as WayNor, The Troll Shop, Norway house are situated here.

Many City ATTRACTIONS such as Oslo Opera House, The Munch Museum, Tiger Point, Oslo Cathedral, Storting Building(Parliament), Royal Palace are located on it.

Some of the Food joints which I liked over there - Peppes Pizza, Rice Bowl Thai Cafe, Pincho nation, Mcdonald's, GRAND CAFE etc

People play musical instruments on the street. Very cheerful and nice atmosphere.

Good for walking and scooter riding when less crowd is there.

During winters, CHRISTMAS MARKET known as "Christmas in Winterland" is there on this street. It has many wooden stalls serving food and hot drinks. Ice skating is also done here.
