The district stretches for five miles along the banks of Stålfjord, and contains many of the city's most iconic landmarks, including the State House (the meeting place of the Hall of Jarls), the Museum of Natural Sciences, Førstevakt Park, and, at its extreme southern end, the Capital Palace residence of the royal family. The Strand one of the largest tourist attractions in the country, and is home to some of the consistently highest-ranked restaurants in the country.

The Strand is also the docking point of a number of Royal Navy warships, and the summer port of HMNS Borealis, the Meriadni ship of state.
