Akershus Fortress Self-Guided Walking Tour
Akershus Fortress is one of the most important historic buildings in Oslo. It was built for King Haakon V around 1300 and became the palace when Oslo became Norway’s capital shortly after. During the Danish union, the fortress was modernised under King Christian IV, and during the Swedish union in the 19th century it was militarised and converted to a prison. Today Akershus Fortress is still an active military base, but there are also a number of museums here. There is a lovely walking loop that circles the fortress, and this guide follows that path.
