What to do and see in Oslo, Eastern Norway: The Best Neighborhoods

July 21, 2021 Marlin Saiz

The 1000-year-old Norwegian capital sits at the head of Oslo Fjord. This stunning setting gives hints of the wild wonders that lie just beyond the city. From taking in visual delights at Vigeland Sculpture Park, the Viking Ship Museum, the Munch Museum and Holmenkollen, to the challenging content within the new Nobel Peace Centre and the Holocoust Center, Oslo offers plenty of food for thought. The Oslo Pass allows free travel on public transport, free parking and many museum and sight admissions.

Fun old & new architecture, a food hall full of all types of dining— casual and less so, music venues, chill coffee shops, grocery storesbars, music & performance venues, & walking paths along the river. And the hip shops & venues of Grünerlokka right next door. Also adjacent to some of the oldest buildings & cemeteries in Oslo. I highly recommend this neighborhood as a base to visitors.

Grunerlokka

Neighborhood with a bohemian/creative atmosphere and many unique cafes, shops and parks.

Reviewed By Icepilot44 - Oslo, Norway

Grünerløkka was originally for factory workers sweating away in the factories that utilized the power from the Akerselva, a large stream with waterfalls deviding the city into East and West. I later years, it has become the hippest place for young, cool people to live and work. Most of the old apartments have been renovated, the parks are upgraded and there is an abundance of cafés and restaurants, mixed with second hand /vintage shops where you can find an old Dior dress or a classic, used hand bag. By the river you will find fleamarkets every weekend, and live music and concerts as well.

Reviewed By MikaelF413 - Vantaa, Finland

This Nobody’s Street is a little laneway located next to the Akerselva river. Every place is covered with street art. There is a huge chandelier hanging above the street. The music venue Blå has a nice summer terrace overlooking the river.
