  Akershus Fortress is a very regal fortress; however, I truly loved the little exhibition inside the visitor's centre with all the history behind the fortress, and the detailed description of the wars that it had seen over the years. For someone with very little knowledge on the Norwegian history, the exhibition, coupled with the tour around the fortress- was very, very interesting!

  The fort is currently closed for renovation and is due to be open by the summer. We were able to walk around the fortress but we couldn't go inside. There are other places to see around the area so it's not bad if you go there but you won't be able to currently enter the fort.
