Live between the Palace, Karl Johan and the Oslo Fjord – with culture, parks and city life right outside your door.

Between the Palace, Karl Johan and the fjord lies Arbins gate 3. A quiet side street in Vika , surrounded by some of Oslo's most important cultural institutions, parks and urban spaces.

Here you live just minutes from Nationaltheatret , the National Museum, Aker Brygge and Karl Johan. Most of what the city is known for is within comfortable walking distance.

Yet Arbins gate is surprisingly quiet. When you turn in from Henrik Ibsens gate, much of the city noise disappears, and the historic apartment buildings set the tone for the neighborhood.

Why choose Arbins gate 3?

• Right between the Palace, Karl Johan and the fjord
• Nationaltheatret station right around the corner – subway, tram and airport train
• Walking distance to the National Museum, Nobel Peace Center and Astrup Fearnley
• Quiet side street in the heart of the city
• Slottsparken and Dronningparken just around the corner
• Perfect starting point for experiencing Oslo on foot

Few places in Oslo have a similar concentration of culture and history. From Arbins gate you can walk to Nationaltheatret , the Ibsen Museum, the National Museum, the Nobel Peace Center and Astrup Fearnley in less than fifteen minutes.

Here you literally live in the quarters where Henrik Ibsen lived his last years, with Nationaltheatret and Slottsparken as closest neighbors. For many visitors, this will be the easiest way to experience Oslo – on foot.

From the apartment it is only a few minutes walk to Slottsparken and Dronningparken – one of the most peaceful parts of the park surrounding the Palace.

If you follow the streets south you will come to the City Hall, Aker Brygge and Tjuvholmen. Along the harbor promenade you will find restaurants, art, museums and views of the Oslo Fjord.

This is Oslo as many people experience the city for the first time.

Most people know Karl Johans gate. Fewer find their way to the small details that make the area special.

Open Bakery on Inkognito Terrace brings together both neighbors and office workers for morning coffee. Those who know the place well know that there are quieter corners sheltered from the rest of the city. Dronningparken is another local favorite. Many pass through Slottsparken Fewer people discover the quieter part of the park that hides behind the large avenues.

The townhouse itself dates from 1894, designed by architect Christian Reuter in the neo-Baroque style – yellow brick with red bands and heavy ornamentation in stucco and plaster. At the turn of the century, doctor Johan Storm Bull and other wealthy families from Kristiania lived here. The neighbor at number 1 was Henrik Ibsen, who lived his last years in the street until 1906. It is no coincidence that Nationaltheatret was built during the same period, a few minutes away – this was Kristiania's cultural center of gravity.

Part of what makes Arbins gate unique is how little planning you need to do.

Go to Nationaltheatret for a performance. Continue down Karl Johan. Visit the National Museum. Stroll along the harbor promenade to Aker Brygge and Tjuvholmen. End the day with a view of the fjord before walking back through the city.

Everything is located in the same neighborhood.
