The capital and most populous city of Norway, situated at the head of the Oslofjord in the southeastern corner of the country. The city centre is compact and walkable, organised around a main axis connecting the Central Station to the Royal Palace through Karl Johans gate. Major cultural landmarks include the National Gallery, the Vigeland Sculpture Park, and the Akershus Fortress, while the waterfront redevelopment around Tjuvholmen and Aker Brygge has reshaped the harbour zone.
