Both interesting permanent exhibition on the Nobel prize history, and lots of interactive new temporary things going on.
Best place on a sunny spring day. enjoy the flowers and get there early to sit in the museum stairs
Buy 6 of these chocolate and cocoa sponge buns, and sit somewhere outside. There is also one in Thorvald Meyers gt. Get your coffee from Supreme Roastworks next door from that one - yum!
One of a kind book store in Oslo. The staff is super, lots of quirky stuff and great books on music.
Nice affordable meal on three locations in town. The staff might be a bit stressed and rude, and there's no alcohol served. But the food is lovely and service is quick.
My favourite amongst many asian places in the area. Try their home made lemonade and go for something spicy. Don't mind the grumpy waiter.
These guys are worth a visit just for being amazing. The store is so small and so filled with knowledge, rare books and love for literature.
Good coffee, nice sandwiches, salads and home made yoghurt. More of a bakery shop, than a place you sit down.
A small, original, hard-to-find treat. Go there for drinks and snacks and enjoy the handsome and service minded staff :)
Big turkish/cross over/mexican/whatever bar that serves food until 3am. Big outdoor serving and very tasty, but kinda heavy food.
Every food writer's favourite tapas bar. Nice atmosphere, great, safe menu and super wine. Might get pricy, and you probavly have to wait a bit for a seat.
Super lunchy food, great cafe area and lovely owners. A bit prizy, but they do their own coffee in the basement which is kinda cool. They also got a great shop at Bjølsen called Bjølsen bakeri.
I love the tiles these guys do! The shop is a bit off the beaten path, but could be combined with a trip by Akerselva and waffles at Hønse Lovisas-hus. Quite expensive, but this is art!
Nice vintage store with both 2nd hand and remakes. One of few in Oslo that sells the brand pop.
Their buns are yummmmmy and their selection of travelling books huge! They also do arabic coffee and lassis, which you don't see too often in Oslo
Amazing Indian food in a space that feels like someones living room. This is really a hidden treasure! Also have a look around the area, as it's one of Oslo's most artsy and original.
Babel do an excellent combination of 2nd hand treasures (shoes especially) and classy brands like Epiolgue and Ganni. One of Oslo's nicest woman clothing stores!
This is oslo's finest coffee shop. They also do some mean cakes. Very limited seating, but right next to a huge park called St.Hanshaugen
Kinda off the main bar street and radar, but very nice looking pub with board games and decent priced beers. A place for friends
Really nice deli with good food, always a nice pick of house wine and some small snacks for take away. Great for after work.
Nice "side event" of Oslo's most popular pizza place called Villa Paradiso. Go there for a slice of sandwich-like pizza to bring to the park or enjoy in one of the 8 chairs in the shop. Tasty!
Liebling wins on charm, food and staff. Go there, and visit their other place called Kanskje kommer kongen in an old folks home close by later on. Buy some funny stuff from Germany in their shop too.
This is my favorite place ever. Not necessarily because of the funny shop, nice food or coffee, but because it's inside an old folk's home. Top dollar idea! Did I mention the juke box and piano? Go.
Nice mezeh menu, friendly look with board games and weekly quiz. The smoothies and falafel are my favourites. Their falafel was recently voted as best in town.
Enjoy Oslo's best drink and imagine you're seated in some bungalow in a small pacific island. Tends to get busy and a bit expensive, but worth it.
Big park with a young barbeque-ish scene evolving the minute the sun pops out. Hosts events as outside cinema screenings and gigs during summer.
Oslo's finest yoga studio with a young and friendly atmosphere. They also got a great cafe and shop, selling yoga clothes and books, teas, salads, snacks, coffee and cakes.
Loving their mezah. Spacious restaurant in a basement very close to the city centre.
Nice hang-out with gigs and dj's in the basement and a bar upstairs. Nice food in one of the bars, if you get there before midnight. Have a drink or ten.
Norwegian super cute design flagship a bit off the beaten track. Can easily be combined with an excellent view over the city. The shop contains a lovely cafe with home made goodies.
Here you can actually drink your wine on the river! Can be hard to find, but well worth it on a warm night. Look for the colorful lights by the bridge. Also a venue for smaller gigs.
A place for hot-tempered rockers and bands that will play on venues too big for them in about two years. Nice intimate feel.
Nice place for a weekday drink or a smaller venued gig. Also great outside on sunny days. If you can get a seat..
Tasty burgers and fries, nice staff. Tends to get busy, especially in weekends
Nice coworking space with a creative vibe on central location. Rent meeting rooms, or follow them for events as creative mornings sessions.
Big vinyl shop with service minded staff. Easy to spend some time exploring their vide selection.
Nice department store for girls. Scandinavian look with a Tokyo vibe, h&m owned. Affordable, also in Hegdehaugsveien and Storo senter.
Nice knitting store developed from a Norwegian start-up. Sells excellent knitting equipment and their own really cute pattern books with retro inspired stuff. Worth a visit.
A bit expencive, but also so good. Great buns and pastries/cakes. You're free to make your own sandwich from a vide selection of spreads and veggies. All organic.
The Salvation Army's 2nd hand stores always got something to offer. You find them around town, but the Grünerløkka store is the most fashion oriented.
Spacious and sunny outside area. Play pool inside and drink beer. Old, wooden typical Norwegian building. They don't sell food, just snacks, but allow you to bring some as long as it's not too greasy
Drinks, shuffle board and lots of space. Tends to get super busy anyway, so get there early or queue up. They also host a vide range of cultural events and a nice cafe at day. The Puroslo cakes=yum!
Classic scandinavian looked department clothing. Both girls/boys wear. Sells cheap monday, their own brand and some selected cheaper design lines. Affordable.
