Transfers

edit

Øvre Slottsgate is a short minute walk from the bus stations at Kvadraturen, Wessels Plass and the now defunct bus and tram stop, Christiania Torv. Nationaltheatret (11,13) and Kontraskjæret (12) are stations succeeding Øvre Slottsgate westbound, while Dronningens gate succeeds Øvre Slottsgate eastbound.[2] The station is also close to the Stortinget station, so it is easy to transfer between the tramway and the metro.[3]
