Timeline
15:04
Stop at Lanternen for sandwiches and herring. It is a short six-minute walk from the palace entrance.
15:19
Enter Oscarshall and explore the neo-gothic interiors. The palace is open until 17:00 in winter, so you have plenty of time to wander the halls and the surrounding park before the light changes.
15:49
Stand at the edge of the park facing southwest. The sun sets toward the SW, casting a final warm glow over the Frogner bay and the city skyline.
16:09
Walk 14 minutes to Kafé Fjord to warm up with a drink. The café is open until 18:00 in winter, fitting perfectly after the sunset.
