Review:
Oslo City Hall is one of the most famous buildings in Oslo, admired for its characteristic architecture and well known as the site of the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony. The construction of the building started in 1931 but was interrupted by WWII, and it wasn’t until 1950 that it was inaugurated. Before the construction started, the entire area was rebuilt and renovated to make space for it.
Located in Pipervika in downtown Oslo, City Hall is the seat of the City Council and the city's administrative body. The building contains a number of galleries and art studios, and is home to a large collection of artwork by local artists. Visitors should be sure to listen for the 49-bell carillon in the eastern tower, which plays every hour.
