You are now standing in the open circular area, Fridtjof Nansens plass. Fridtjof Nansen is one of Norway's most versatile and internationally famous people of all time. He was a pioneering naturalist, polar expedition leader, writer and artist, diplomat and philanthropist. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1922 and is one of the country's most decorated people. To the east, you can see the stairs leading up to the entrance to the Town Hall, where the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded each year. In the opposite direction, the road named after another famous Norwegian polar explorer, Roald Amundsen, stretches up to Karl Johans gate, the Palace and the Stortinget. If you follow the side street to the right of the City hall, you will reach the Crown Princess Mârtha's place before you enter the National Museum and the restaurant and shopping area Aker Brygge.
