There was a lot of construction so our view was obstructed. It's worth the price of admission (free) so go and walk to the top, it's worth doing once, but try to go early when it's not so crowded or on your way to doing something else in Oslo.

It's near Oslo Central Station, so it's easy to hear as soon as you arrive at the station (but that's because the downtown Oslo is small)
As soon as I arrived, the first impression was that it looked really weird...
The night train arrived early in the morning, so we were the only tourists, and there were yoga gatherers and seagulls on the rooftop. Seagulls are cute (Sorry for bird shit in the photo..)
The rooftop view is nice, so please go up

This is a great stop for an inexpensive view of the city! There are walkways up to the rooftop and the slope provides an interesting (almost disorienting) perspective. Great views from the top!

Great views from on top of this interesting building. Very interesting design for a building which fits in with Oslos modern architecture. You can walk up the sloped roof of the building and the views are stunning.

Like a lot of people I didn't go in but enjoyed the view from the top. That was great, we took a picnic up at dusk, there was a concert across the bay. It's the furthest thing from secluded, but if that does bother you...

A unique bulding with unique architecture! It's very cool that you can walk on the roof but it's just as cool to go inside. The bathrooms were very nice if a bit dark. I would recommend this as a place to see in Oslo, Norway. Especially nice that it is free :)

The building made of marble is beautiful and goes well with the sea. Walking up to the rooftop, the night view overlooking the city and across the street is also very unique and unique. It is recommended to take a walk at night ^^
