Slottsplassen (the Royal Palace forecourt) frames the neoclassical palace on a raised plaza with sweeping steps and an axial view down Karl Johans gate. Photographers get grand architectural compositions, ceremonial guard action, and clean foregrounds for sunrise/sunset light. Best at golden hour or during the Changing of the Guard; weekday mornings are quieter. The plaza is public and wheelchair accessible; limited street parking nearby and good public transport.
