Excellent free museum detailing some of Norway's military history, especially under Nazi occupation in WWII. Welcoming and helpful staff who was able to provide a lot of extra information. All exhibits have multiple language translations and are well laid-out. Free tea and coffee to top it off!

Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 536 reviews
One of the most important monuments of the Renaissance. Close to Hakon’s hall lies the Rosenkrantz Tower, which is considered to be the most important Renaissance era monument in Norway. Parts of the tower are from the 1270s, but it has been built upon several times, both for defensive purposes and as a demonstration of power over the wilful Hanseatic merchants. Closed 21.12.20 - 09.01.21

This takes at least 30 min to get through, probably longer in peak tourist times. Well worth a stop if you like history. It's an interesting maze of rooms and has plenty of information.
5. Litteraturhuset - The House of Literature
