You're standing at Oslo City Hall, on Rådhusplassen square, with the harbour and the Oslofjord right in front of it. Look up at those two red brick towers. One is 63 metres tall, the other 66. The bricks are bigger than was usual at the time, roughly the size of medieval bricks. The eastern tower holds a carillon of 49 bells, so there's a good chance you'll hear it.
