Review:
Karl Johans Gate is the main street in Oslo, named to honor King Charles III John. This elegant old street runs from Norway's Royal Palace to the main railroad station. Strolling along this street will bring you past many of Oslo's popular tourist attractions such as the Central Station, Stortinget (parliament building), the National Theatre, the Palace Park, and the old Oslo University Buildings.
At Eidsvolls plass, you will see Spikersuppa, the pond which turns into an ice skating rink in the winter. Oslo Cathedral is also on Karl Johans Gate, surrounded by the lively Bazaar Market, which is connected to the historic Brannvakta, or Fire Watch, Oslo's principal fire station between 1860 and 1939.
