Fantastic coffee shop that picks the best beans from all the top roasters in Scandinavia. I had a single origin pour over, an iced coffee drink called a Shakerato, and a chai latte -- all top notch.
By far the best cocktail bar in Oslo, maybe the world. Incredibly well done creative drinks. The vibe feels like a 70s high end throwback to Nordic design. Get any drink with berries.
One of the top 5 coffees I've had in my life. This lives up to its enormously famous expectations. Had an iced coffee like creation with a double espresso shaken with anise syrup and cream.
One of my favorite modern art museums in the world, in a beautifully designed building by Renzo Piano along the water. Great permanent collection with famous Koons, Murakami, and and Hirst works.
You have to come to this epic food market for lunch and enjoy the outdoor seating. Enjoy the free cheese samples, then get a chicken sandwich at Stangeriet and a Ma Poule duck confit sandwich.
Hip new Scandinavian restaurant with wonderfully creative 3 course tasting menu, an outdoor beer garden with a food truck, and a sneaky awesome beer bar upstairs. Perfect date spot.
Pro tip: get the six course tasting menu split two ways. It's 30% cheaper than two identical 3 course menus. Very well done albeit not totally creative Nordic food. Insane views of downtown.
Brewery with its own beers and an extensive draft beer list in a trendy warehouse kind of vibe. Hidden kebabs upstairs.
200 strong sculpture park set inside the beautiful Frognerparken. Must see while in Oslo.
The Central Park of Oslo. Worth the 1 stop from the center of the city to enjoy the rolling lawns filled with picnics and BBQs.
Cool half fort, half park with amazing views. Check out the World War II museum inside.
Surprisingly interesting, non-hokey museum for history buffs. Latest winners downstairs, great exhibits about past winners upstairs. Free wifi.
Do you love World War II military history? Do you have any idea how badass Norway secretly was?
Great value design hotel in a fantastic location right in Grünerløkka, next to the great food hall Mathallen. Comfy, large rooms with sleek renovated bathrooms. Great breakfast buffet, too.
