The Government Quarter is an important area in Oslo that houses several central government institutions. This complex is primarily known as the home of the Norwegian government, and it includes offices for the Prime Minister and various ministries. The buildings in the quarter are characterized by modern architecture, as well as historical elements that reflect Norway's political development.
The area has been the subject of extensive rehabilitation and security measures following the terrorist attack on 22 July 2011. The Government Quarter is not only an administrative centre, but also a symbol of Norwegian democracy and public administration. It is available to visitors through organized tours, which provide insight into the country's political processes and history.
