Radhusplassen
Oslo City Hall Square (Rådhusplassen) is perfectly located in the heart of Oslo, right between the city center and the Oslofjord. Surrounded by iconic landmarks like Oslo City Hall, Aker Brygge, and the Nobel Peace Center, it’s a lively, scenic meeting point by the waterfront — and the ideal place to start your run.
Nobel Peace CenterPass-by Only
The Nobel Peace Center is one of the first landmarks we run past — set by the waterfront, it stands out with its grand architecture and powerful presence at the edge of the city’s harbor district.
We pass Russeløkka School as we move into one of Oslo’s quieter residential areas. Nestled among classic buildings, the school adds a local, everyday charm to the route — a glimpse of life beyond the tourist trail.
