About The Palace Park
The park around the Royal Palace was laid out in the 1840s, with majestic trees, lawns and ponds. In its southern part is the Queen’s Park, a rococo garden of 1751, open from 18 May to 1 October. Look for Gustav Vigeland’s statues of Niels Henrik Abel (1908) and Camilla Collett (1911), VisitOSLO records.
