Viewpoint on the Opera’s rooftop

The view from the roof of the Oslo Opera House

The sloping roof of the Oslo Opera House offers an exceptional panorama over the town and the fjord. The Oslo audio-guided tour stops here to evoke this 360-degree view, freely accessible on foot.

The panorama over the town and the fjord

One of the great originalities of the Oslo Opera House is to be able to climb its roof. Taking the white marble slopes that rise gently, you reach the top of the building, from where a 360-degree panorama opens up. The gaze takes in the Oslo fjord and its islands, the sparkling waters, the modern Bjørvika district with its towers, the port, the town and the wooded hills that surround it. It is one of the finest viewpoints of the capital, particularly striking at sunset and during the long summer evenings. This mineral terrace open to all symbolises the welcoming and open spirit of Oslo.
