This is what a visit to the Oslo Opera is like, how to walk around its roof

One of my hobbies during trips is to search viewpoints to have the best panoramic views of the places I visit.

Therefore, it is common for it to go up at terraces of emblematic buildings of the cities.

Now, being in front of a building and, simply walking, without climbing stairs or an elevator, walking to the roof to enjoy the panoramic views, I think it is only possible in the Oslo Opera.

This new iconic building of the Capital of norway It has become one of the essential places on your visit, both for its original architecture and for the possibility of seeing some of the best panoramic views of the city.

This is the architecture of the Oslo Opera House

La Oslo Opera It was inaugurated in 2008, and is the result of the curious design of the Norwegian architecture studio Snohetta.

It is located in front of the central railway station, in the modern neighborhood of Bjorvika, where in recent times various office buildings have been built that have changed the image of the city in this area.

Together with oslo fjord, from the shore a huge marble platform Carrara white goes up a slope, and the modern glass building is integrated into it.

How to visit the Oslo Opera

When you access the Opera lobby, you will be struck by the contrast between the oak wood that covers the structure of the auditorium, with the large glass facades that allow all the light to enter.

El main auditorium, with 1.350 seats, offers the highest level of technology.

To such an extent that on each backrest there is a screen that allows you to see the subtitles of the work that is performed in up to eight languages.

If you do not have the opportunity to see a performance, as was my case, you can enjoy the building by sitting in one of the bars, both indoors and with terraces, which are the center of attraction for visitors to the building.

But, above all, you must not stop climb to the roof of the Opera along the ramp of the stone platform that surrounds the building.

From there you will have Panoramic views of this central neighborhood of Oslo, as well as the fjord and the mountains that surround it.

Since its inauguration, the Oslo Opera It has become the main cultural center of Norway.
