Karl Johans Gate

 Norway > Oslo

---

Karl Johans gate is known as Norway’s number one boulevard. Its name came from the Swedish-Norwegian king Karl III Johan in 1852. Here, the street can be seen from Egertorget to the Castle, a stretch which before 1852 was briefly called Slottsveien. The pictures show that Karl Johan’s façade has changed relatively little since the turn of the century.
