About Storting
- Sight
The Storting in Oslo is one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks and the home of Norway’s parliament. Set along the elegant Karl Johans gate, the building stands out for its balanced architecture, bright stone exterior, and commanding presence in the middle of the city. The atmosphere around it is formal yet open, with a strong sense of civic importance that makes the site feel both historic and very much alive.
Visitors come here to experience more than a government building. The Storting is a place where Norwegian democracy becomes visible, and guided access can offer a look inside the rooms where national decisions are made. Even from the outside, it is worth a visit for the architecture alone, especially when combined with a walk through the surrounding streets and public spaces. It is a rewarding stop for anyone interested in culture, politics, or urban sightseeing in Oslo.
