Palace Park, Royal garden in Sentrum, Norway
Palace Park is a large garden surrounding the Norwegian Royal Palace with flower meadows, walking paths, and numerous trees spread across the grounds. The space includes several distinct areas, from formal gardens to art installations, all connected by accessible routes throughout the property.
The garden began in 1751 as private royal grounds and was transformed in the 19th century to complement the newly built Royal Palace. This change shaped it into the major part of the palace complex that exists today.
Several statues of royal family members stand throughout the grounds, which visitors encounter along their walks. These sculptures give the place its distinctive character and mark its importance to the nation.
The main area is open year-round for visitors, though certain sections close during colder months. The paths throughout are well-maintained and easy to navigate on foot.
A special area created in 2016 contains interactive art pieces selected by children for children to enjoy. This installation makes the park a place where young visitors can have their own artistic experience.
