The Royal House of Norway is a branch of the House of Glücksburg, and is closely connected to the Royal Houses of Denmark and Sweden. It is also connected to the Royal House of the United Kingdom and other European Royal families. H.M. King Harald uses the Royal Palace in Oslo as his official residence. However, the family possesses other residences in the country as well.
The palace was built in the 19th century. The central lawn (Karl Johans Gate) leads from the city centre to the Royal palace. In summer season, one can purchase tickets for a guided tour in the Royal palace.
