The central point of Oslo to many people is the harbour and the area around Radhusplassen (City Hall Square).
Oslo Harbour and Radhusplassen:
It is a popular place to take a walk by tourists and locals alike.
Oslo City Hall (Radhus) is the dominant feature of the harbourfront and probably the best known building in Oslo. It is also the place where the Nobel Peace Prize is being awarded on 10 December every year.
