You HAVE to come here if you go to Oslo. Greta views from the top. Free to get in. Wander around and get lost for an hour. Be careful with the statues , they can be scary!

When i visited the Castle they had actors dressed like in the Middle Ages explaining about habits, food and games from the past. They told me this game was popular during the viking era.

The area is not too big snd can be easily covered. Enjoy the panorama of Oslo from the top of the hill . Say hello to seagulls who are on duty :)

Noah Weiss

Cool half fort, half park with amazing views . Check out the World War II museum inside.

Marius Watz

Features views of the Fjord, a cute fortress and a corny WWII museum . A great walk in itself, rarely crowded , potentially a spot for soaking up sun (on the Western embankments - don't fall off.)

Anya Roxie

Absolutely a worth visiting place. It used to be a medieval castle but was remodeled into renaissance style in the XVIIth century. There beautiful views of the sea there as well .

Nice view .

Приятный парк , аллеи , крепость , пушки. Фотолюбителям нужно быть осторожней, в погоне за кадром можно лишиться жизни, есть опасные неогороженные места, откуда открывается самый лучший обзор.

Vladislav Shumilov

В 1989 году Папа Римский Иоанн Павел II отслужил на площади крепости Акерсхус мессу — это был первый в истории случай, когда глава Римской католической церкви посетил Норвегию.

Vanessa Kern

A vista de cima da muralha é linda, e o entorno do castelo também! Não deixe de ir nos museus lá dentro.

It's a good museum. About the polar ship. If you went to the Vasa before, you won't be impressed. And if I had to chose between Frame and Viking Museum, I would go to the vikings - Débora França
