Trends come and go. The same goes for tourists. But what travelers are looking for when arriving in a new city does not change that much. The bare es-sentials are the following: Cheap accommodation, cheap food and places to hang out without going bankrupt. Streetwise has 18 years experience in introducing tourists to Oslo. Oslo is known for being expen-sive. This is true, but you can do Oslo for less as well. We hope that you will enjoy Streetwise as much as we enjoy making this guidebook! Have a great stay in Oslo

Downtown /page 85The main street in Oslo is Karl Johans gate, which is kind of a Scandinavian La Rambla. Too many tourists never experience the rest of the city. The downtown area is much more than Karl Johans gate, for instance the charming arcades at Youngstorget. Young-storget is an old market place where you can run across more or less everything. We recommend a walk in Kvadraturen, named after the grid like street pattern. Here you find the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Astrup Fearnley museum. Bear in mind that this area becomes a bit shady at night, and don’t be surprised to run across prostitutes. Close by is Akershus Fortress, dating from 1299, with a fantastic view of the harbour and the City Hall, which we really recom-mend that you visit. Other sights worth visiting are the University of Oslo, the Na-tional Theatre, the Parliament, Oslo Cathe-dral, the Nobel Peace Center and the Royal Palace with its surrounding park.

Grünerløkka /page 81Think of Grünerløkka as the Greenwich Village of Oslo. 100 years ago this was a

working class area. Today the working class has been replaced by people who hardly know anything about manual labour: Art-ists, lawyers, students and stock brokers have moved in. Løkka is charming, with houses built in the 19th century as well as parks, shops and cafés. Grünerløkka is a small town in itself and offers a wide range of services from post, banking and library, to fashion, dining and theatrical events.

Grønland / Tøyen /page 82Tired of pale Norwegians? Visit Grønland. This immigrant area is packed with small restaurants, jewellers, fabric shops and vegetable stores. A handful of beautiful mosques have been erected in Grønland during the last decade. Changes are hap-pening here as it has in Grünerløkka, but Grønland seems more persistent to gentri-fication than Grünerløkka was.

Gamlebyen /J7, K7Situated in the eastern part of the city cen-tre, this is where medieval Oslo lay. In the Medieval Park there are ruins of The Church of Mary and the King’s Royal Palace, among

An introduction – to get you startedOslo is a small capital and most tourist attractions are within walking distance of the city centre. However, really experiencing a city as a local is just as important as sightseeing. Oslo has many different areas, all with their unique charm. We give you: Oslo in a nutshell.

Unfortunately USE-IT Oslo only accepts people under 26 in the office. Sorry.

Brief history of OsloOslo is an old city, founded over 1000 years ago. No one really knows when people started living here. The name is equally mysterious. Linguists and archaeologists have disputed its origin, and most likely the name has something to do with rivers, plains and hills (this is actually a description of the area of the old-town).

Oslo does not mean “bloodshed in Viking battle”, as some creative tourists have sug-gested. Oslo was founded in the year 1000 by either Harald Bluetooth or his son Svein Tjugeskjegg. To make this even more con-fusing: Harald Hardråde is officially recog-nized as the founder of Oslo. A city grew around the mouth of river Alna. By visiting the Medieval Park in the Old Town you get an impression of how it was back then. Oslo was dominated by churches and monaster-ies, but it was yet to be the capital of Nor-way. King Håkon V (reigned 1299-1319) was the first king to permanently reside in Oslo, making it the capital. Both Trond-heim and Bergen had been capitals prior to this. Håkon V was also the one who erected Akershus Fortress—at the peak of medieval Norway’s power and influence. A hundred years later Norway was the weaker part in a personal union with Denmark, which lasted 434 years, until 1814. The capital was now Copenhagen, and Oslo was reduced to a provincial outpost in Europe. Everything was decaying, and as most medieval cities Oslo burned down several times... Finally, in 1624, the Danish-Norwegian king Christian IV decided to build a com-pletely new and modern city close to Ak-

ershus Fortress. Unselfishly, he named this city Christiania. At one moment there were actually two cities here; the old Oslo and the brand new Christiania. In 1814 the union with Denmark came to an end, and for six months Norway was an independent country. During that time we managed to write a constitution which was signed on May 17th - our national day. Then Chris-tiania was made capital of Norway. This was actually quite an achievment before we were handed over to the Swedes, as a war trophy of the Napoleonic wars. At this point 14 000 people lived in Christiania. In 1850 Oslo superseded Bergen as the most populated city in Norway. From 1850 to 1900 Oslo quadrupled in size, a develop-ment that still echoes in the city architec-ture. In 1905 we became independent, and Christiania became a real capital. Naturally national identity was of great importance, and so in 1925 Oslo got rid of its Dan-ish name, Christiania, and was renamed Oslo. Today Oslo is a small, but modern and thriving capital with around 550 000 inhabitants (1.5 million if you include greater Oslo). We are still in the outskirts of Europe, but there is very little we can do about that.

others. The whole park is perfect for picnics. Those living in Gamlebyen are not allowed to dig deep in their backyards, because the chance of hitting something of archeological importance is high!

Kampen / Vålerenga /K5, K6Like Grünerløkka Vålerenga and Kampen used to be a typical working class area, only worse off. It is a charming neighbourhood with wooden houses. Class differences have decreased but this area has remained 100% working class in spirit.

St. Hanshaugen /E2, E3, F2, F3St. Hanshaugen is where up-town and down-town meets. This is a nice area with nice people, nice cafés and nice shops. It is neither expensive nor cheap, neither exit-ing nor boring, just really nice, kind of like a golden retriever. The park offers a scenic view – most impressive at dusk!

Majorstua and Frogner /page 80Looking to spend all your money in an hour? This is the area for shopping in fashi-onable boutiques and paying way too much for your lunch at cafees. The main shopping street is Bogstadveien. There is a large flea market every Saturday at Vestkanttorget.

Ekeberg The view is spectacular from Ekeberg, espe-cially from the newly refurbished Ekeberg-restauranten. Edvard Munch found inspi-ration for his famous painting The Scream while walking in Ekebergåsen. You might

recognize the background in the painting as the view of Oslo as seen from Ekeberg. The world’s biggest football tournament, Norway Cup, is held at Ekebergsletta.

Aker Brygge /D6, E6This former shipyard was renovated in the 1980s. Here are expensive apartments, shops, bars and restaurants. Aker Brygge is the perfect place to cool down on a hot day, with its large outdoor seating area with a view to the harbour, City Hall and Akershus Fortress. Remember Aker Brygge is expensive.

The islandsThere are over 40 islands in the Oslo Fjord. Take the ferry from Vippetangen, it stops at the six biggest islands. See page 57.

Bygdøy /A7Here you can visit six museums in one day without traveling great distances. When you are tired of walking around in muse-ums, you can take a swim at Paradisbukta or Huk, or just take a stroll around the area and observe the life of the bold and the be-autiful.

Nordmarka Take a hike in one of the forests surround-ing Oslo – the ideal place for watching Norwegians doing their thing: walking in the woods. The paths are well signposted. See page 53.

Oslo intro

In 1899 the bubble burst. Almost nothing was built until the early 1920s. Oslo has a large mass of functionalistic architecture deriving from the late 1920s onwards. You find examples of this all over the city, from the Ekeberg Restaurant to the high-rising Folketeaterbygningen at Youngstorget and the apartment blocks at Carl Berner. In Scandinavia Oslo is only rivalled by Helsinki when it comes to widespread functionalism. The French architect Le Corbusier, had visions of a city, where tra-ditional street patterns were dissolved into a new order. These ideas, filtered through the post-Second World War social-demo-cratic era, resulted in the massive growth of apartment blocks of flats in the outskirts of town. The farmland of Groruddalen to the north was chosen as a perfect site for the city expansion. The high rise architec-ture in the late 60s and early 70s has been criticized for its sheer brutality and mon-strous size. These buildings didn’t spawn environments for people to thrive in. Still, you find little “villages” in Oslo where the old wooden houses have been preserved. Rodeløkka, Vålerenga and Kampen have a homely neighborhood feeling intact.These days a new chapter in the history of

Oslo is written– The Fjord City. The new Opera is the spearhead of this project. Next time you visit Oslo, the waterfront will be completely different.

Architecture in OsloMost of the buildings you see when walking in downtown Oslo are from the second half of the 19th century.

Oslo by tramBerlin has bus number 100. This is a regular bus, and it passes by major sights. That way you don’t have to spend lot of money on guided tours, and you can mingle with locals, or other tourists who refuse to be seen as out-of-towners. This is easily done in Oslo as well. The tram combined with Streetwise will provide you with all the budget guiding you need.

Oslo intro

Recommendations Visit Oslo has made an architectural map of Oslo — this is a great way to get to know Oslo and its buildings. Mortensrud Church (2002) is an important piece of post-war Norwegian architecture. Jan Olav Jensen and Børre Skodvin have won several prizes for this church; among others European Steel Design Award 2003 and the Grosch Medal. Take metro line 3 to Mortensrud and walk to Helga Vaneks vei. Villa Stenersen (1938) by Arne Korsmo for art collector Rolf Stenersen, is equal to its modernist continental counter-parts. The house is open for public the first Sunday of each month. From Ma-jorstuen walk to Tuengen allé 10C. Gam-le Aker Kirke (G3) is the oldest building in Oslo, being recorded as early as 1080. The church is a classic Romanesque ba-silica not to extraordinary apart from its age. Nevertheless, the church is well worth a visit on a sunny day.

Sightseeing

We suggest that you start by taking tram 12 from Kjelsås. You have to get there first, but all excursions have to start some-where, and actually Kjelsås is as good a place as anywhere else.Kjelsås 0 minutes is a nice area domi-nated by villas. Kjelsås has a suburban feel to it, even though it is just outside central Oslo. Visiting Kjelsås is a good way to see typical Scandinavian suburbia. After leaving Kjelsås, you get to Storo 8 minutes. Generally speaking you can say that central Oslo begins here. Going from Storo to Sandaker 10 minutes you go through a typical early 20th cen-tury working class area. The further down you go the further back in time you get. At Torshov 13 minutes you see how 1920s working-class houses mix with those of the 1880s. Torshov has a relaxed atmosphere and is yet to be completely overtaken by the young and the hip, but probably not for long, since Grünerløk-ka (page 81) is straight down the street, so to say. When first entering Grünerløkka you pass by Birkelunden 17 minutes.

Birkelunden and the surrounding houses are completely preserved as monuments over a time long gone. The area from Birkelunden, through Olaf Ryes plass

18 minutes to Schous plass 19 min-utes is the embodiment of the new hip Grünerløkka. The trendy cafés are a big contrast compared to how worn-down “Løkka” used to be. Around Nybrua 20 minutes you can still see how it used to be. In Hausmansgate 21 minutes you find Anker Hostel. Then the tram contin-ues along Storgata and passes the Central Station and Jernbanetorget 26 min-utes before entering Kongens gate 27 minutes and Kvadraturen, the remains of 17th century Oslo (see Brief history of Oslo, page 7). After Kvadraturen you pass Rådhusplassen 30 minutes, the town hall and Aker Brygge 32 minutes. After this architectural high water mark of the yuppie eighties, you enter the Westside of central Oslo. After some minutes you pass the famous sculpture park Vigeland-sparken 40 minutes, before you end up at Majorstuen 43 minutes.

Oslo PassThe Oslo Pass is the easiest and cheapest way to experience Oslo.

The Oslo Pass gives you free entry to 33 museums and attractions, free public transport within zone four, free park-ing in municipal parking lots, a lot of activities and special offers in restau-rants, shops, entertainment, leisure venues and much more.

But remember that if you’re not up for more than a few activities or attractions the card doesn’t pay off, as many muse-ums are free to enter anyway.

Buy it at Oslo’s information centres, hotels, youth hostels, camping sites++24 hours: NOK 220,- • 48 hours: NOK 320,- • 72 hours: NOK 410,-

See visitoslo.com for more info.

Sightseeing

If you are not fed up with trams yet, we suggest you switch trams at Majorstuen. Get on the 19 tram that goes in the oppo-site direction from which you came.

When leaving Majorstuen 0 minutes, passing Schultz gate 1 minute and Rosenborg 3 minutes, you experience the expensive shopping streets. Sud-denly the tram turns right, leaving the buzz behind. When in Inkognitogata

8 minutes you are surrounded by large bourgeoisie brick villas. The greater parts of embassies in Oslo are found here. Af-ter leaving this area you will soon get to Slottsparken 10 minutes, the park surrounding the Royal Castle at the top of Karl Johan. From here the tram runs parallel with Karl Johans Gate, passing the national theatre Nationaltheateret

12 minutes and Stortinget, the parlia-ment, before it enters Kvadraturen. The tram passes Jernbanetorget 20 min-utes before it turns right and heads for Gamlebyen. First it stops at Busstermi-nalen Grønland 21 minutes. At St. Halvards plass 24 minutes you are down-town in medieval Oslo. If you get off here you can explore what is left of the cathedrals. We suggest you end your trip at Sjømannsskolen 27 minutes. To your right you find the facilities where they used to educate seafarers, and on your left you find the beautiful function-alistic Ekeberg Restataurant. Go have a drink there in the evening and enjoy life!

Kunt Hamsun was a Norwegian author, who won the Nobel Prize in literature. He is by some considered the “father of modern literature”. Hunger was his break through novel.

Food

Disposable Barbecues Barbecuing in the parks is very Oslo. Barbecuing is a rather cheap alternative compared to eating out. Step one: At reg-ular food stores you can get everything you need; meat, fish (salmon is good), salad or whatever and even a disposable barbecue. Step two: find a park, or go to the islands—the rest is up to you. Just make sure you clean up afterwards.

Dirt CheapHere we focus on price before style. These restaurants are far from being mentioned in the Michelin Guide, but they will nevertheless provide you with a decent meal. Vegetarian Restaurants

Norway is not the easiest place to be a vegetarian. From time to time it can be hard to come by decent vegetarian dishes, but Oslo is slowly catching up on the rest of the world.

Food

A cheap meal in Oslo is in the price range of NOK 50 to 100. Roughly NOK 100 is what you should expect to pay in regular cafes and bars. Less than this is considered cheap. Enjoy your meal!

Bari Pizza /G5Torggata 23Tel: 22 11 19 65Torggata is the place for having a quick snack and Bari is the place for having pizza in Torggata. The pizza is tasty and cheap, and Bari is even inviting enough to eat in. Yummy!

Punjab Tandoori /H6Grønland 24Tel: 22 17 20 86The Punjab Tandoori restaurant is a classic. It has been around for ages, and people flock here to enjoy Indian fast food. Punjab gets pretty crowded after working hours, from around four in the afternoon.

Food

There are in general few vegetarian restau-rants in Oslo, but the ones that exist are quite nice. By the way: it is no real problem finding vegetarian food in most up-to-date cafes and restaurants.

Blitz /E4 Pilestredet 30cTel: 22 11 23 49Blitz is an independently run youth house, with punks, dogs and cheap vegetarian food. The café is open from noon to six in the afternoon. Hot dinner is served every day – very cheap!

Spisestedet /D3Hjelmsgate 3Tel: 22 69 01 30Spisestedet restaurant serves ecologi-cal vegan food — nice, cheap and tasty. Hjelmsgate 3 is also the home of Gateavisa, Oslos very own Village Voice. This gives a hint of what to expect, in addition to great

food, that is! Opening Hours: Mon-Wed 1400-2100, Thurs/Fri 1400-2000 and Sat 1400-1900.

Krishnas Cuisine /C2 Kirkeveien 59bTel: 22 60 62 50Krishnas cuisine serves, as you can im-agine, food inspired by the Hare Krishna movement. Krishnas cuisine gives you ok value for money in an otherwise rather ex-pensive neighbourhood.

Vegan Restaurant /F4Akersgata 74Tel: 911 88 876Vegan has a standing all vegetarian buffet, where the prices vary with the size of your plate. A plate may even include fruit and pizza! If you are really creative and shame-less, you can gather a whole lot of food on the smallest plate.

Organic FoodOrganic food is not that easy to come by, but more and more Norwegians are concerned about what they are eating, so Oslo has a few options when it comes to organic eating.

Norwegian CuisineMost Norwegians do not recognize the exceptional culinary traditions in Scandi-navia. Trendy food is often synonymous with bruschettas with rocket salad and mozzarella, just as long as it is imported from the Mediterranean countries. A few restaurants have specialized in Norwegian food. Here is a brief list for the daring ones. Bon appétit!

Dovrehallen /G5Storgata 22Tel: 22 17 21 01Dovrehallen is not a gourmet restaurant, and actually quite far from being men-tioned in other tourist guides. Neverthe-less, Dovrehallen offers something very unique and authentic. Here you can catch a glimpse of real Norwegian working class culture, both when it comes to food and regulars. Note: Dovrehallen on the first floor, is different from Dovrestua on the ground floor, which is a shady pub.

Fyret / G5Youngstorget 6Tel. 22 20 51 82We love Fyret. The atmosphere is informal and relaxed, and the Norwegian/Scandi-navian menu is brilliant and affordable. In the summertime you can sit outside in

the arcades, overlooking Youngstorget. Fyret also have a large selection of Aqauvit – can you get more Scandinavian, we ask?

Kaffistova / F5Rosenkrantz gate 8Tel: 23 21 42 10Kaffistova is the restaurant at Bonde-heimen Hotel, specialising in traditional Norwegian food. All bread and cakes are homemade, and some say they have the best breakfast in town.

Kampen Bistro / K6Bøgata 21Tel: 22 19 77 08Kampen Bistro is an informal restaurant in idyllic Kampen. In addition to an altar de-voted to Elvis Aaron Presley and 50s furni-ture, the food is really tasty. Unpretentious,

low cost gourmet is a fitting description for Kampen Bistro. Recommended!

Oslo Spiseforretning / J7Oslogate 15Tel: 22 62 62 10Oslo Spiseforretning started out as a very ex-citing project; a gourmet restaurant, offering dishes made only from Norwegian ingredi-ents, situated on untrendy streets of Gamle-byen. Do not hesitate going there, the food and service are great. In the summertime you can enjoy the evening sun in the backyard. Recommended though not really budget.

Lofoten Fiskerestaurant / D6Stranden 75Tel: 22 83 08 08Lofoten is said to be the best fish restaurant in Norway, which instantly makes it one of the best in Europe. The food is, as you may guess, based on Norwegian seafood. Enjoy cod, halibut, lobster, mussels and a nice view of the harbour. If you cannot afford a three course meal, at least check out the fish soup on the lunch menu.

Schrøder / F3Waldemar Thranes gate 8Tel: 22 60 51 83Schrøder is perfect if you are searching for informal atmosphere in a restaurant with a long history. Schrøder serves traditional, homemade Norwegian food on white, stained table cloths—you get the idea, right? It is definitely worth a visit, as the food is cheap, tasty and plentiful.

Buying Norwegian FoodHere is a short list over food stores rep-resenting traditional Norwegian cuisine. Forget about pesto; here you find food with deep roots in Norwegian culture. Just the way our grandmother made it!

Farmers Market / H4Markveien 56Deli offering fair trade, organic and gour-met food. Buy exclusive, Norwegian cheese or chocolate. Yummy, but expensive!

Fenaknoken / E6 Tordenskioldsgate 7Meat prepared Norwegian style: smoked, dried and salty—and flatbread, of course.

Kaffistova / F5Rosenkrantz gate 8Tel: 23 21 42 10Kaffistova offers Norwegian meat products directly from Voss!

Fishmongers There are quite a few fishmongers in Oslo; some of them also offer game.

Food

Where to shop- I like Bogstadveien. It is expensive, but it is more than just luxury items. What to do- I really recommend barbequing with a beer on the side in the parks.

Where to eat- Olivia is an Italian restaurant at Aker Brygge, with cosy atmosphere. It is kind of informal but still really good, and you have a great view of the harbour. Why Oslo- Living in Oslo you experience all sorts of weather. Having all four seasons in one day might happen. And you run across lots of dif-ferent people here. In Oslo you can experience real diversity.

Kristina Jovanovic (20) Student

- Olivia is an Italian restaurant in Aker Brygge, with cosy atmosphere. It is kind of informal but still really good, and you have a great view over the harbour.

Arakataka / G5 Mariboes gate 7Tel: 23 32 83 00 At Arakataka you will find international cuisine with a slight breeze from the Middle East. Arakataka combines creative dishes with top quality service at reasonable prices.

Ekebergrestauranten / J7 Kongsveien 15Tel: 23 24 23 00The Ekeberg Restaurant is functionalistic high water mark in Norway. Today it of-fers great food, and if the weather is nice we highly recommend the terrace outdoors. When there, ask for a glimpse of the 1st floor as well. The design and decoration is beautiful. Make sure you check out the sculptures surrounding the building as well.

Sult / H2 Thorvald Meyersgate 26Tel: 22 87 04 67Sult is a stayer. Sult has served the masses low price high class food for over ten years.

The quality produced by the different chefs has varied. Lately Sult has picked itself up and is now back on track. Sult is recom-mended after a day of parklife in Sofien-bergparken.

Bar Boca /H3 Thorvald Meyersgate 30Beer: NOK 58,-

BB is the place for high quality drinks. This 50s-inspired shoebox sized cocktail bar is ideal for social non-claustrophobic people. With only 5 tables it is impossible not to speak to your fellow customers. Bar Boca is visited by people of all ages.

Bar Robinet /G5 Mariboes gate 7Beer: NOK 52,-

Robinet is a really tiny retro-esque bar, pop-ulated by musicians, media-people and all sorts of liberal hedonists. Robinet gets easily crowded so expect to hang around a while before you get a seat. Robinet has a southern feel that is rarely found in other bars in Oslo. All in all, highly recommended!

Blå /G4 Brenneriveien 9cBeer: NOK 56,-

Blå is a legendary jazz club, with a really wide definition of jazz. On Saturdays you go clubbing, on Sundays you go shopping at the market, and on Mondays you rock out to metal. This is the way Blå is, and that is why we love the place. Check out their program

Beer PricesNo matter where you are from you will probably find Norwegian beer heav-ily overpriced. Remember, Norway is expensive and this you knew before com-ing here. Also, sometimes you pay for more than just the drinks. You also pay for being in a nice clean environment, with friendly bartenders and nice music as well. Anyway, here is a quick guide to beer prices in Oslo:

Less than NOK 35: This is as cheap as it gets!NOK 35 – 50: This is a good bargain. If the place is nice – go for it!NOK 50 – 60: This is in general what it costs for a beer at nice places in Oslo.NOK 60 – 70: It is getting expensive…Over NOK 70: STUPID!

Some bars carry 0.4 litres and other 0.5. We don’t make a difference. We count glasses of beer, not the accumulated amount of liquid.

to see what’s on – it is probably something of interest. If you like Blå, then you should check out what´s on at Fabrikken or Indigo, which also are factory hall style clubs, just next to Blå.

Café Sara /G5Hausmanns gate 29Beer: NOK 54,-

Café Sara is your typical old school café: Heavy wooden interior, far from cafe latte minimalism. At Café Sara the kitchen is open until very late and the waiters come to your table even though it is two o’clock in the morning. Café Sara is very popular among musicians and artist and others who like peace and quiet accompanied by a beer, though it gets crowded at night.

Bare Jazz /F5Grensen 8Beer: NOK 58,-

Bare Jazz (or “Just Jazz” in English) is some-thing as rare as a jazz café in Oslo. Bare Jazz is run by internationally acclaimed saxo-phonist Bodil Niska, so the credibility is definitely maintained at this place. Bare Jazz is also a records store that has a large selec-tion of – surprise, surprise – just jazz!

Bohemen /F5 Arbeidergata 2Beer: NOK 52,- (42,- mon-fri before 1700)

Bohemen is the place for meeting local foot-ball supporters. It is the official Vålerenga (local team) pub, but it is also considered a traditional sports bar. Every night matches are being shown here, both local derbys and international football. Where do real men hug? On a football field, or at Bohemen.

Café Sør /G5 Torggata 11Beer: NOK 56,-

Café Sør is a semi alternative café, which turns into a more relaxed club in the eve-nings. The crowd consists largely of im-migrants from north-Africa, Sweden and younger people, who are a bit on the side of the mainstream but nevertheless like beau-tiful and wild orchids. Café Sør is a relaxed place to be and definitely worth checking out.

SmokingSmoking has been banned in bars and restaurants in Norway since 2004. It is just to accept the simple facts; smoking is a thing of the past…

Dattera til Hagen /H6 Grønland 10Beer: NOK 56,-

This is one of the most popular hangouts in Grønland. Dattera is always crowded, from morning until late in the evening. On Dat-tera you can have a drink, coffee or beer, eat good food and also go clubbing if you’d like. You might as well stay here all day if you can afford it. Compared to the neighbour-ing pubs one can say you pay a little extra for the colourful setting, but it’s definitely worth it.

Elm Street /G6 Dronningensgate 32Beer: NOK 48,-

Elm Street is a legend among Oslo’s many brilliant rock bars. Apart from being leg-endary, Elm Street is also a great place to go out, especially to have breakfast the day after. Check out Double Elvis, on the menu. Elm Street is well known in Norway, and among metal fans all over Europe.

Fisk og viltPløens gate 1Beer: NOK 56,-

Fisk og vilt is the newest bar at Youngstor-get. Youngstorget has over the years grown to become one of the most popular places to go out in Oslo. Fisk and vilt is a cool bar with a cool crowd. If you want to hang with Oslo hipsters, check out Fisk og vilt. A smoking section in the back yard is always a winner.

Fru Hagen /H3 Thorvald Meyers gate 40Beer: NOK 56,-

Fru Hagen was one of the first hip cafés that popped up when Grünerløkka went from being a working class area to a supermega-trendy magnet for artists, “tourists” from the west side of Oslo and wannabees. Though

SnuffNo! Not the movies! We are talking about tobacco. As a result of the smoking-ban in bars lots of people have started to use snuff or snus which is the Norwegian name. A regular Oslo bar has probably the largest variety of snuff you’ve ever seen, so when in Rome…

Nightlife

Fru Hagen might have dropped a bit on the hotspot barometer, the place still attracts people. At daytime you can sink down into the red, high-backed velour couches and enjoy sandwiches and cakes while looking at the stars in the ceiling. At night, it turns into a popular party place for the younger gen-eration of Swedes and students. Fru Hagen is frequently visited by skilled DJs.

Fun House /E4St. Olavsgate 23Beer: NOK 48,-

A damp basement with black brick walls is the perfect setting for a rock'n roll bar. As a concert venue Fun House is so liter-ary underground that the only place to be, is straight in front of the stage. If punk rock is your cup of tea, go to Fun House.

Gamle Major /C2 Bogstadveien 66Beer: NOK 58,-

Gamle Major is a classic English style pub centrally located in Majorstuen. It’s a per-fect place for a chat over a chilled beer, and you can choose from a wide variety of dishes in generous portions. Gamle Major is not a place for easily scared people, as you will notice when arriving. Through the glass floor you discover a horror cabinet, and they have secret doors leading to un-known places…

Garage /F5 Grensen 9Beer: NOK 56,-

Garage is a hang-out for people with a genuine interest in music, especially rock'n roll. Garage is both a venue and a great bar at the same time. It is dominated by a younger alternative crowd. There are con-certs here all the time, and at the weekend Garage turns into a great club.

MusicOslo has a really great music scene. All good bars or clubs in Oslo have distinct tastes when it comes to music. Good tunes, whether it is rock’n roll or club music, separates quality bars from the not so interesting ones. Oslo is the city in Scandinavia with most live concerts during a year.

Hell Awaits /H4Thorvald Meyers gate 81Beer: NOK 54,-

What do you expect from a bar which name is taken from thrash metal legends Slayers second album? Hell Awaits is run by Norwegian MTV Headbangers Ball host Pete Evil, who also is known from bands like Hellride and Blood Tsunami. If this sounds like your cup of tea, it probably is.

Kaos /H4Thorvald Meyersgate 56Beer: NOK 46,-

Kaos is a spacious mainstream place where the young and wild go crazy at weekends, dance the night away and practice their pick up lines in the fancy bar. Kaos has proper facilities for smokers with a heated tent in the backyard.

Last Train /E5 Karl Johans gate 45Beer: NOK 56,-

Last Train is also a legendary rock bar in Oslo. Last Train is famous for intimate con-certs and loud rock; conversation between more than two persons is difficult. So just sip your beer, smile and listen. No music requests, has sort of become Last Trains slogan, just to give you an idea of what to expect..

Living Room /E6Olav V’s gate 1Beer: NOK 56,-

Living Room is a classy club or at least it sets out to be. A certain dress code is re-quired at Living Room, which is fine taken into consideration the high class atmo-sphere in this club. The DJs are good and the girls are just as beautiful as the lads are strapping! Enjoy.

Luna Park /G5Badstugata 1Beer: NOK 48,-

Coolness moves in mysterious waves. This bar has gone through some drastic changes over the years. From being Oslos

Age LimitsThere are two general age limits when it comes to alcohol, - 18 and 20. Neverthe-less, at some clubs you have to be 23, 26 or whatever to enter. This is just some-thing clubs do so they easily can decide what kind of crowd they want to let in. If you want to go to a club, just do it. You’ll most probably get in anyway.

Nightlife

in-club early in the millennium to becom-ing a dodgy tapas bar. Then something happened. People started to hang out here again, simply because of the lack of cool, and Luna Park was, ironically, again a place to be. At Luna Park the kitchen closes around two in the morning, which is brilliant for party people. Beer is affordable as well.

Mir /H4 Toftesgate 69 Beer: NOK 49,-

Mir is by far Grünerløkka’s best kept secret. Hang out with rockers and the alternative nation. On the ground floor you drink your beer in old aeroplane seats, or whatever they decide to decorate with. In the base-ment and you’ll get the feeling of hanging out in someone’s living room. Play dart or fußball game, or check out the small li-brary, where you can take a book, as long as you leave another book. If you come here and the staff is covering the windows with fabric, it is simply because there will be a concert later on.

Mono /G5 Pløens gate 4Beer: NOK 52,-

Mono has been around for years and has grown very popular during that time. Mono is a rock’n roll bar with more focus

on Indie and Americana than Heavy Metal, not necessarily meaning Hank Williams’ Lost Highway is stuck in the cd-player. If the bar looks empty during a nice hot day, the regulars are probably to be found smok-ing in the backyard. Mono has expanded and now includes a 60s diner/bar called Q.

Sunday PartyEach and every Sunday for 11 years has Frank Znort Quartet been playing at dif-ferent venues in Oslo. For the time being they are hosted by Blå. Their concerts have grown more and more popular over the years. FZQ is no longer a quartet, but more a collective of musicians perform-ing everything from jazz evergreens to reggae hits. FZQ shows are free so and popular and highly recommend for the friendly atmosphere.

Nomaden /G5Bernt Ankers gate 17Beer: NOK 48,-

Nomaden is one of our favourite clubs in Oslo. Picture a basement, filled with co-lourful interior and great music. Nomaden is the kind of club that still has a great underground feel. They do have a cover charge, but considerably less than The Villa or Blå for instance. Recommended!

Onkel Donald /E5 Universitetsgata 26Beer: NOK 58,-

Onkel Donald is a bar, restaurant and a club – all in one! The rooms are large and bright. This somewhat echoes the people coming here. Onkel Donald is your regu-lar Saturday night pick up joint – but hey! What a party!

Parkteateret /H3 Olaf Ryes plass 11Beer: NOK 54,-

Parkteateret is a former movie theatre, where the foyer has been transformed into a minimalist 50’s inspired bar. The place and its visitors are cool without being too much. There is also a concert stage in the back, with clubs and live music.

Revolver /G5Møllergata 32Beer: NOK 56,-

Revolver has constantly been expanding and now completely taken over the little red house they are in. The focus is still on rock, and music in general. At Revolver you find a club with dancing and live shows, a small restaurant and a regular bar. Revolver has become a popular weekend destination

Closing TimeOslo is a city with very strict opening hours. No bars or clubs are open longer than 0330. Alcohol is not served after 0300. Bars outside the city centre close at 0100, with a few exceptions, like the streets Thorvald Meyersgate and Hegde-haugsveien. Oslo is not a city for 24 hour party people…

Nightlife

for the young and trendy, so expect a long line and a good time!

Rå /G6Karl Johans gate 10Beer: NOK 49,-

To establish a decent club on the lower part of Karl Johan is an achievement. Rå is a friendly hip hop club where you feel wel-come. Rå was actually voted best 2006 by Oslos hipster bible Natt og Dag.

Stargate /H6 Grønland 2Beer: NOK 42,-

This is the place to go on a warm summer evening. Stargate is one of very few places where you can sit outside and at the same time enjoy the sun all day. And, when the sun is gone it’s still possible to sit outside covered in blankets. The food is shitty and the staff unpleasant, but people flock here because of the sun.

East side/West sideThere are up-town and down-town areas in Oslo, as in all major cities. West side is up-town and east side is down-town. This divide is quite old and you find manifestations of it on different socio-political levels. For instance; there is no point in looking for a cheap pint on the west side.

VorspielYeah, yeah, yeah. We know what vorspiel means in German, but anyhow this is what we call warm-up parties in Norway. These parties are the reason get-in time at weekends is quite late. You see, we don’t drink less, we just start drinking at home.

Where to drink- I go out at Garage a lot. The beer is afford-able and there is always a show on. All in all a typical rock bar.

Where to eat- I don’t know where I would eat out, probably something cheap in Grønland.

What to recommend- If I had a friend over I would tell him to ex-plore the city on foot and check out the parks.

Why Oslo- Oslo has several things going, for instance both parks and clubs. Going out in Oslo is great and there are a lot of concerts and cul-tural activities here.

Teddys /G4 Brugata 3Beer: NOK 56,-

Teddys has kept its original interior from 1958, and they even have an old original Wurlitzer jukebox here! Teddys is quite small and intimate, and you get the feeling that you’re not alone, even if you are. It’s also totally ok only to sit down and read a book, or enjoy their famous breakfast. You should definitely go here, if only to have a look, because this is Oslo history in the making.

The Villa /G5Møllergata 23Beer: NOK 48,-

The Villa is a techno club in Oslo for new electronic dance music. They are open Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays with a focus on Norwegian and international elec-tronic artists, in addition to cutting edge rock. The Villa probably has the best sound system in whole of Oslo.

NachspielAs vorspiel is the party before you go to the club, nachspiel is what happens when clubs are closing. Then we go home and continue the mayhem there. This is, as you might figure, usually the more inter-esting part of the night - and definitely last chance for a slow dance.

Tom Waits RunGrete Waitz was a world famous Nor-wegian long distance runner in the 80s. An all female run in Oslo was named after her. To contrast this, some creative souls started the Tom Waits Run. In the east side of Oslo you find lots of cheap pubs. The point of TWR is to drink your way through them all! Rumor has it that somebody one year actually made it to the final pub. Most do not. Winning is not the issue, participating is.

Nightlife

Møllers Café /G5Mariboes gate 9Beer: NOK 39,- weekends. Sun/mon: 29,- otherwise 34,-

Møllers is an institution among young rock´n roll enthusiasts. After some years they stop going here, only to leave the emp-ty chairs to a younger generation of punks. Møllers is by the way well known for having Oslos most evil juke box.

Studentersamfunnet /E3Pilestredet 52Beer: NOK 36,-

This student run pick up joint is not visible from street level since all the action takes place in the basement. When you see peo-ple smoking on the streets, you know you have come to the right place.

Trompeten /G6Skippergata 29Beer: NOK 48,-

Trompeten (the Trumpet) is definitely a suit-ing name for a karaoke bar. Trompeten has no cover charge except Saturdays. At week-ends Trompeten gets really crowded, which is no surprise actually, considering where it is situated, just next to the central station.

Roxy Bar /F6Karl Johans Gate 12 Beer: NOK 52,-

Roxy is a party place that does not discrim-inate in any way: there is not strict dress code, and the music is as mainstream as it gets. On other words, good fun!

Choice /H6Grønland 3Beer: NOK 29,-

Choice is a skanky pub and as far away from high society as you possibly can travel. Nevertheless Choice is quite popu-lar. In the morning you find regular drunks here, but in the evening Choice attracts a younger, healthier crowd. All in all it is an ok place to start your evening.

Gossip Room /E5Munkedamsveien 14Beer: NOK 56,-

Gossip Room is stylish nightclub with a strict dress code. Budget vice we cant really recommend Gossip Rooms since they op-erate with a kind of heavy cover charge, but party vice it is really worth a visit.

Where to shop?If you don’t know what you’re looking for or if you just want to do some window shopping, here is a rough guide to shopping districts in Oslo.

36 37

Shopping

Aker Brygge /D6At Aker Brygge you’ll find expensive designer shops as well as more standard shops, cafés, restaurants, theatres, cinema and bars. Aker Brygge is all in all fairly expensive.

Grønland /H6Grønland is known for its large popula-tion of non-western immigrants. If you’re looking for fabrics, fancy jewellery, spices, or markets, Grønland is where you want to be. From Oslo City, follow Steners-gata and Grønlandsleiret, and within a few minutes you’re right in the middle of Grønland. Most of the stores are situated on the streets Grønlandsleiret and Tøyen-gata. Every Saturday there is a flea market at underneath the highway bridge.

Majorstuen /D3Between the Royal Palace and the Frogner Park is one of the largest shopping districts in Oslo. Here you’ll find several posh bou-

Karl Johans Gate /F6Karl Johans gate is the most famous street in Oslo. Karl Johan stretches from the Royal Palace to Oslo Central Station. Here you’ll find hundreds of shops and lots of street artists and vendors during the sum-mer. It is recommended to cool your feet in the water fountain in Studenterlunden on hot days. Note that most locals stay away from Karl Johan.

Grünerløkka /H3Grünerløkka, or simply “Løkka” among friends, is Oslos equivalent to Greenwich Village. Here you have the chance to dis-cover small designer boutiques, small ca-fes, parks and everything else you might need for lazy urban days. The sweet spot of gentrification has passed, but still Løkka kept its charm.

Shopping

Gatsby /G5Brugata 12 Mon-Fri 1200-1700, Thurs 1200-1800, Sat 1200-1500

Gatsby has a variety of everything. This is a store, not a circus attraction, so be careful about saying “just looking”.

Min Butikk /C2Sorgenfrigata 7At Min Butikk you don’t find second hand track suits but vintage Dolce Gabbana, Ver-sace and Gucci items.

UFF /G6Jernbanetorget 2Mon-Fri 1000-1900, Sat 1000-1700

Supermarked Moskva /F3Bjerregaardsgate 5First there was the underground club Marked Moskva, then there was Bar Mosk-va, then the great club Spasibar (get it? Spa-siba = “thank you” in Russian + R, to make it “Bar”). Now there is Supermarked Mosk-va Luxus DeLuxe Simply the Best. In this Russian flea market-like store everything is for sale. Even the clothes worn by the staff! In addition to this Supermarked Moskva is a travel agency, massage parlor, photo studio, fortune teller, and coffee shop. They even put on concerts in the backyard.

Trabant /H4 /G5Markveien 56 and Youngstorget 4 Both second hand and new stuff; dresses, scarves, sunglasses and boots.

Tonica Vintage Corner /D2Schøningsgate 14Rumors has it the European fashion houses visit Tonica Vintage Corner to find old gold from Hermes, Chanel, Dior etc. That might

be, we don’t know for sure, but we still find Tonica appealing.

Underground Fashion /G5Storgata 1Mon-Fri 1100-1900, Sat 1000-1700

Underground Fashion specializes in 60s and 70s clothing. In this colorful environ-ment you find lots of shirts and lots of track suits.

Opening hours Opening hours are usually weekdays 1000 – 1700, and Saturdays 0900 – 1500. Many shopping malls are open from 1000 – 2100 Monday to Friday and 1000 – 1800 on Saturdays. Most shops are closed on Sundays, though many souvenir shops are open.

Norwegian designRetro/naïve t-shirts sale has been booming the last couple of years. These shirts are great souvenirs and an easy introduction to both Norwegian mentality and culture.

Shopping

Håkki /F5 Pilestredet 15Håkki is in a way more Swedish than Nor-wegian. Håkki is a Norwegian company making t-shirts that deals with the Nor-wegian tendency to look to Sweden and Swedish popular culture. It is kind of hard getting all the references to Scandinavian children’s television series from the 80s, without being Scandinavian, but the shirts make great souvenirs anyway. The store is open Thursdays – Saturdays.

Probat /H3Thorvald Meyers gate 54Probat is also a t-shirt company like Håkki, only with an all-Norwegian approach. Pro-

bat makes t-shirts depicting brown cheese, moose and catch phrases from Norwegian pop culture. They’ve become quite popular and are actually expanding into the Ameri-can market – promoting Norway to Nor-wegian Americans!

Moods of Norway /F6Akersgata 18In 2003 two brave Norwegians entered the international fashion scene with hip cloth-ing, influenced by Norwegian arts and crafts, history and mentality. Now they’ve fi-nally located in Oslo. Moods of Norway nev-er set out to make souvenirs or to be ironic or funny. It is simply stylish clothing.

Shopping

Norway Says Shop /H2Thvorvald Meyers gate 15Norway Says is an office with an interna-tional approach to design. Norway Says works with both domestic and international clients and has gotten some buzz on the in-ternational design scene. In Grünerløkka you find the Norway Says store. Enjoy!

Pur Norsk /E2Theresesgate 14Pur Norsk is a store specializing in Norwe-gian products. Pur Norsk seeks to heighten the general awareness regarding Norwegian quality design. You don’t find wool sweaters here, though. Instead you can get more or less everything else.

HusflidIt is cold in Norway during winter. That’s why traditional Norwegian arts and craft often are associated with wool sweaters and Selbu mittens. We’ve made a list where you can obtain such souvenirs – or simply have a peek.

Independent clothingThere is nothing wrong with either H&M or Zara, but you find those stores every-where. That is why we made a shopping guide to Oslo – with sort of an alternative outlook.

Shopping

Specialized bookstores

Jaap van Huysmanns Minde /D3

Hjelms gate 3This is your regular anti authoritarian bookstore, specializing in freedom fighting literature. – You get the picture, right? Di-rect action NOW!

Nomaden /D4

Uranienborgsveien 4Nomaden, or the Nomad in English, is a bookstore specializing in travel literature. If travelling, you will definitely find some-thing of interest here.

Torpedo Art Book Store /G4

Hausmannsgate 42Torpedo is an independent book store fo-cusing on contemporary arts and visual arts.

Tronsmo /F5

Kristian Augusts gate 19This is a really good alternative bookstore. They have absolutely every possible cultur-al phenomenon represented here.

Second Hand Literature

Bjørn Ringstrøm Antikvariat /E4

Wessels gate 2 BWe like Ringstrøms. The staff is friendly and they have a huge selection of lots of stuff. They also carry records.

Lucky Eddie /J3

Trondheimsveien 63What to say, a few records, lots of comics, books and cds.

Pretty Price Antikvariat /G6

Dronningens gate 23At Pretty Price the owner has an ashtray at the counter. This is quite untypical Norway, and therefore quite charming. Anyway, at Pretty Price you find used books, comics, records etc. They also have the best selec-tion of second hand porn in Oslo.

Spøk og Spenning /H3

Helgesensgate 10At Spøk og Spenning you find old comics, books, cds and such – at affordable prices.

Shopping recordsThere are many record shops in Oslo, most of which are main stream music stores (like Musikkverket and Platekompaniet). The latter is a Norwegian chain, with branches all over Oslo. Actually we’d like to recommend Platekompaniet because they have huge selections at reasonable prices and the staff knows what they are talking about.

Where to drink- I go mostly to concerts but if I were to go club-bing it had to be the Cliché. Where to eat- I like Gastro, the restaurant in the shopping mall Steen og Strøm. The food is great and I like the atmosphere, and they have a huge menu.

Why Oslo- The best thing about living in Oslo is that there is always something going on, festivals, concerts, clubs and more. Recommend- If you are in Oslo for the first time go to Aker Brygge. Here you find both sea breeze and nice stores. Also you should explore the parks, like Frognerparken and Botanical Gardens and visit Grønland, just to feel urban.

Sara (22) Musician/Student

- If you are in Oslo for the first time, go to Aker Brygge. Here you find both sea breeze and nice stores.

Shopping

If you are the possessor of a more exquisite taste in music, we have some suggestions that might be to your liking.

Bare Jazz /F5

Grensen 8Bare Jazz is a good jazz store and café (see review in Nightlife section page 25)

Big Dipper Records /G5

Torggata 36Big Dipper is the stereotype independent music store. Big Dipper has a huge selec-tion of music, especially on vinyl, with a focus on rock’n roll.

Filter Musikk /F6

Skippergata 33Filter has a good selection of equipment for electronic music, keyboards, mixers,

headphones etc. Filter also carries quite a few 12” actually.

Multima /F5

Teatergata 1Multima has more or less the same selec-tion as Filter, and they also carry piles of second hand 12”.

Shadowland /G5

Storgata 9If you are equally fascinated by light as by darkness, you’ll probably find Shadow-land’s selection of goth, synth, EBM and industrial attractive.

Sound of Noise /G5

Youngs gt. 11 (entr. Hammersborggata)Sound of Noise specializes in Heavy Metal. GRRRRR!

Stress /F5

Grensen 19In addition to streetwear, clothes and shoes, Stress has a selection of hip-hop 12”s.

Tiger /G6

Hammersborggata 18 Tiger started out as a punk/hard core mailorder, but eventually evolved into a great independent record store, that defi-nitely hasn’t lost its “do-it-yourself ” punk roots.

Used Record Stores

Bjørn Ringstrøm Antikvariat /E4

Wessels gate 2 BWe like Ringstrøms. Here you find great re-cords at reasonable prices. Ringstrøms has a good jazz selection, and also includes a book store. Recommended!

MusicGjøvikgata 1You know those stores with an odour of camel cigarettes, sweat and shitloads of old records. You know those stores where you spend hours, going through piles and piles of rubbish just to find the collector’s item you have been looking for? This is it!

Neseblod Records /H3

Rathkesgate 7Well-hidden in Grünerløkka you find Neseblod (meaning nosebleed in Nor-wegian). Neseblod is the place to look for old-school Norwegian punk and black metal, or used punk and metal re-cords in general. If you’re looking for Mayhems first release or old Turbone-gro 7”s – Neseblod is the store for you.

Oslo Rock-Antikvariat /F5

Fredensborgveien. 17 Oslo Rock-Antikvariat focuses on classic rock. All in all a nice and friendly store.

Råkk & Rålls /G5

Akersgata 39Råkk & Rålls has a huge selection of sec-ond hand records, but you have to be really lucky to find something truly special. And they often charge more than necessary for irrelevant releases. Råkk & Rålls expanded recently and started selling vintage furni-ture and other used stuff as well.

Youngstorget /G5

Quite often some guys are selling second hand records at Youngstorget. Sometimes it is pure crap, other times you may run across something really good. Worth drop-ping by.

Queer

How is it to be queer in Oslo?- Oslo is an open and friendly city. Norway is one of few countries with gay marriage. It is common to see same sex couples holding hands, kissing and cuddling on the streets. Major cities have a tendency to attract people from smaller places, and the Oslo scene is in-fluenced by people from all over Norway. What to do in Oslo?- The major queers clubs in Oslo, like London, Ett Glass and Elsker are all situated around the major theaters, for some reason. Other-wise we go the same places as everyone else.

One better keep in mind that Oslo is a city with some drunkenness and fighting, and lately there has been reports of hate crimes, towards queers.  Compared to the rest of Eu-rope, Scandinavia is very open. The scene in Oslo is not as big as in Copenhagen or Stock-holm, but still there is a lot going on. Queer culture is visible everywhere. For instance would I like to recommend the bookstore Tron-smo, that has a Queer Section.

Park lifeWhen summer hits Oslo, people hit parks.

Activities

Akershus Fortress /E7The park surrounding Akershus fortress is perfect for picnics. From here you have a great view of the Town Hall, the fjord and Aker Brygge, the former shipyard that was renovated in the 1980s. Akershus fortress was first erected in 1299 but was heavily re-built a couple of hundred years later.

Birkelunden /H3Birkeunden is situated in the middle of Grünerløkka. Birkelunden is one of the more popular parks in Oslo. Crowded with young, trendy and apparently extremely relaxed people, you might get the feeling that this is an all summer festival. If you’re asthmatic, beware of the continuous smog from the barbecues.

Botanical Gardens /J5Close to the Munch Museum are the Bo-

tanical Gardens, a colourful oasis on Oslo’s East Side. Many of the plants and flowers originate from Norway’s mountain areas, including the national flower, Røsslyng. If the weather gets bad, seek refuge in the tropical world of the greenhouses.

The Frogner Park /B3The artist Gustav Vigeland designed this park, with more than 200 of his sculptures. It is Norway’s most visited tourist attrac-tion, and completely free. Maybe that is why more than one million tourists come here each year. The Frogner park is not a museum, but a wonderful place to go for a stroll or have a picnic and at the same time enjoy Vigeland’s sculptures.

Kuba /G3Kuba is a popular park among younger people, located between Akerselva and

54 55

Activities

Grünerløkka. Concerts and other activities are arranged here quite often in the sum-mertime. Kuba is a breeder, away from the café lattes and the shopping at Grünerløkka.

The Medieval Park /J7The Medieval Park is a real treat. It is quite large and soon you find yourself in a state of perfect Zen, surrounded by ruins from the dark ages. It is perfect for picnics and you learn a bit of Norwegian history in the process.

The Royal Park /E5The Royal Park, surrounding the royal castle, is the largest park in downtown Oslo. It is a nice place to relax after hours of sightseeing. This is the only park in Oslo where sunbath-ing is prohibited, but not everyone abides by this rule.

Sofienbergparken /H3This park is huge. Sofienbergparken was built in the late 19th century, and was sup-posed to be the green lungs of the heavily industrialized east side of Oslo. And it still is. It is very popular among locals, all day and all night. Sofienbergparken attracts all sorts of people, even at night, so it might be wise to take precautions after sunset.

St. Hanshaugen /F3This park is hilly with both a great view of Oslo and a bandstand with happenings each Wednesday throughout the summer. The park also has a quite popular outdoor café.

Climbing There are several possibilities in and around Oslo for both indoor and out-door climbing: www.klatring.no and www.steepstone.com are two webpages on climbing in Norway.

SkateboardingThere are not too many skate spots in Oslo, but those mentioned here are fairly easy to get to, either on foot or by public transpor-tation.

GSF Parken /J7This is a hardcore park run by the GSF-crew. It is open for everyone, but ask before you enter. New bowl was built in 2008. Old School Style.

Hausmania /G4Every independent house with a sense of taste should have a skate hall. Sessions are held here occasionally.

Jordal by the station GalgebergHere you’ll find a vert ramp and a wood bowl. The people here are usually friendly. There are plans to expand the park, adding a concrete section as well.

Marienlyst /D1Right next to the Norwegian public broad-caster NRK you’ll find two mini-ramps. They are ok, but nothing special.

StairsThe stairs in front of the City Hall E6 and Tin-ghuset F5 are well known skate spots. Here you’ll normally find skaters on a sunny day.

Table TennisBring your own ball and racket, tables are already there.

Islands and the seaOslo is located around the Oslofjord. Actually, it looks more like a bay than a fjord but that is just the way it is. There is lots of stuff to do here, especially in the sum-mertime. When weather is fine locals flock to the beaches on the islands.

Walking TripsA Norwegian peculiarity is walking trips. This must not be mistaken for hiking in the mountains or the woods. Walking trips can be done anywhere; downtown, in the neighbourhood, along Akerselva, in the park etc. The walking trip doesn’t need a particular aim or purpose. The only point is to get out, get some fresh air and move about a little. The duration of the trip vary based on your mood and condition and your remaining program for the day. It can be performed any day, at any time of the day, depending on per-sonal preferences, but Sunday is prime walking trip time.

Activities

The water in the inner Oslo Fjord is clean and usually keeps 15-20 degrees during summer. Swimming in the fjord is defi-nitely a summer activity, but visiting the islands and other fjord areas are neverthe-less recommended throughout the year. Ferries run less frequently off-season, but both Hovedøya and Gressholmen have good connections all year, and Bygdøy is accessible by bus. Remember that the fer-ries in the fjord is a part of the public trans-portation system in Oslo, thus are regular tickets valid here as well. They are like buses on water.

GressholmenUntil recently this island was populated by thousands of rabbits. Unfortunately the rabbits ate too much of the vegetation, so the authorities reduced the livestock con-siderably. Not far from the pier is Gress-holmen Kro, a small restaurant serving sandwiches, dinners and cold beers. Gress-holmen doesn’t have large sandy beaches, but is still a lovely place to take a dip. Dive from the rocks and count the numerous birds. 160 different species have been ob-served until now.

Ferry 93 from Vippetangen.

HovedøyaHovedøya is the largest island in the Oslo-fjord, but also the most crowded one. Hovedøya is green and lush with plenty of small paths covering the island. At Hovedøya there are ruins of a Cistercian abbey from the 11th Century, built by English monks. Hovedøya later formed an important part of the defense of Oslo, and you’ll find military buildings and installations, mostly from the 17th Century, at different strategic spots on the island. Hovedøya is perfect for picnics. The ferry runs more frequently here than to any other island. The beaches are small and often pebbled, but still lovely.

Ferry 92 and 93 from Vippetangen.

Canoe and Kayak

Activities

Huk & Paradisbukta, BygdøyTwo excellent bathing spots are located at the Bygdøy peninsula. Several museums, such as the Norwegian Folk Museum, the Viking Ship Museum and the Kon-Tiki Mu-seum are situated there. Bygdøy is populat-ed with a fairly highbrow section of Oslo’s population, but luckily large sections of the peninsula are public areas. Bygdøy is situ-ated a few kilometers west of Oslo city cen-tre, and is easily reached by different means of transport. Huk and Paradisbukta are two beaches covering the South-Western part of Bygdøy. In between the two there is a nudist section. At Huk there is a small kiosk, a beach volleyball court and nudists have a designated area. While at Bygdøy, ask for the restaurant café, Lille Herbern, which has the best view over the fjord. Paradisbukta is less crowded, and this area is popular among families with toddlers.

Bus 30 Bygdøy from the National Theatre or Central Station. Summertime only: Ferry 91 to Bygdøynes from pier no. 3 by City Hall.

IngierstrandOnce known as the jewel among bathing spots in the Nordic countries, Ingierstrand is still a great place to spend a summer day. The functionalistic (see Architecture in Oslo) restaurant from 1933 is worth a visit, though unfortunately it is not open for business any more.

Train 500 direction Ski. Get off at Kolbotn. Switch to bus 907 at Kolbotn, get off at In-gierstrand.

LangøyeneIt is possible to camp at Langøyene (see the accommodation section), and it is the only

island where overnight stay is permitted. If the weather is nice, you don’t need a tent, just a sleeping bag. Summer evenings in Oslo are bright and snug, and swimming in the sea past midnight is a pleasant experi-ence you certainly will remember. The south side of the island is reserved for nudists.

Ferry no. 94 from Vippetangen.

Sydstranda at UlvøyaConnected to the mainland with a bridge, Ulvøya is a good alternative to other bath-ing spots in Oslo. You have to pay a little fee in the high season, but that gives you access to a clean beach, diving tower, tennis court, kiosk and telephone. You may also find people fishing from the bridge connecting the island to the main land.

Bus 85 from the Central Station.

BoatsBoat trips can be expensive. An alter-native is using your day pass on ferry 93 from Vippetangen to the islands Bleikøya, Gressholmen, Lindøya and Hovedøya. For regular sightseeing try: Båtservice Sightseeing ASRådhusplassen, pier 3 Tel: 23 35 68 90www.boatsightseeing.com Båtservice offers city-sightseeing by boat and bus – for instance: evening cruises on the Oslofjord with dinner and bus tours to Oslo’s most popular tourist at-tractions.

Activities

Coastline fishingFishing with a pole or a hand line is permit-ted more or less year round along the entire coast. There are however some restrictions on equipment when fishing salmon, sea trout or red char. Common fish are coalfish, pollack, cod and whiting. Chances of catch-ing mackerel are best during summer. A lot of people believe that you have to go to the west cost or up north to experience good fishing. This is not necessarily true. There are lots of good spots around the Oslofjord, just ask us at the Use-It office. We give away free fishing maps.

CrawfishThe season for catching crawfish is August only. Craw fishing must be done at night, and you need a fishing permit. If interested, contact Oslomarka FiskeadministrasjonTel: 400 06 768 www.ofa.no

MarkaIn Norway, nature is never far away. In Oslo, you simply take the metro out in the forest, or Marka, as locals call it. Norwegians love their nature and at weekends there are a lot of people in Marka for recreational purposes.

60 61

Activities

Marka is the name of the forest and hilly areas surrounding Oslo. Marka is huge and stretches way beyond the municipality of Oslo. Marka is well signposted and is both easy and safe to explore, even for inexperi-enced mountaineers. When beginning to explore Marka, Frogn-erseteren is a good point of departure. From here it is about 5 kilometers to Ullevålseter. Seter translates to summer pasture. Both Frognerseter and Ullevålseter were former summer pastures, now turned into cafes.

The freedom to roam in its purest form can be found in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland. One reason for this practice is that feudalism and serfdom were never estab-lished in the Nordic countries. Freedom to roam is in Norway called Al-lemannsretten, meaning every man’s right. Allemannsretten gives you a lot of freedom, but there are restrictions. You may for in-stance not make a fire in the period 15th of April until 15th of September. We strongly suggest you learn the rules and treat nature and other people with respect.

Allemannsretten

• You have the right to roam whereveryou like in nature on foot or ski

• You may cross fields in the wintertime• You may use boats, canoes, kayaks etc.• You may camp in nature• You may use bikes or ride a horse along

roads in nature• You may bathe in freshwater, sea,

waterfalls• You are free to use a boat and go ashore,

if it is not private property• You may pick berries, mushrooms

and flowers• You may light a fire in the wintertime if

you are not in a forest•You may gather wood for fires, but not

cut down trees of course• You may fish in the sea• You may fish for free in fresh water

if you are under 16• You may drive and park along a private

road, unless it is strictly forbidden

Activities

Canoe and KayakkIn Marka you can rent canoes through Kikutstua. Why not combine it with an overnight stay?KikutstuaTel: 22 42 01 73

The Cork Screw - or Korketrekkeren in Norwegian, is the bobsled track from the Winter Oplympics in Oslo in 1952. It is immensely popular to go sleighing here in the winter. Start at Frognerseteren. When at the bottom, Midtstuen, you simply take the metro back up again. For renting a sleigh contact Skiservice.

Skiservice ASTomm Murstadbakken 2Tel: 22 13 95 00www.skiservice.no

Metro line 1 to Voksenkollen station.Berries and mushroomsFirst of all: never eat a mushroom which you have not identified 110%! We are se-rious- some of these cuties are deadly! Although you can find mushrooms from early spring until late winter, the mushroom season is considered from August to Octo-ber. During the season you may get your finds verified for free by experts at various locations in Marka. You can find out where and when here: www.neslekremla.no/soppkontroll.html

As for berries; the blueberry gener-ally ripens in July around Oslo, and the mountain cranberry ripens in august.

Oh yeah, one last thing, don’t eat mushrooms which hasn’t been prop-erly identified!

By trainNSB is Norway’s national railway company. www.nsb.noTel. 815 00 888 All trains depart from the Oslo Central Sta-tion G6 (duh!), but you can also catch some trains from Nationaltheateret Station E5. Remember that going up north or to the fjords by train alone is impossible.

Norway is huge. Sometimes the most convenient way to travel in Norway is by plane. Check out these companies:

www.norwegian.nowww.sas.nowww.wideroe.no

Youth and student travelswww.kilroytravels.no

By bus All buses leave from Bussterminalen /H6

Here you can catch everything from “lo-cal” buses that go only within greater Oslo to lines that go all the way central Europe. These Swedish bus companies are afford-able and they will even take you to Berlin if you want to. Swebuswww.swebusexpress.se Tel: 800 58 444 Säfflebussenwww.safflebussen.seTel: 815 66 010 The National railway company does not cover Norway by far. Therefore Nor-Way Bussekspress is a great supplement. NOR-WAY Bussekspress www.nor-way.no Tel: 815 44 444

By planeOslo has three airports; Torp, Rygge and the main airport Gardermoen. Gar-dermoen is closer to the city; 18 min-utes with the express train. Torp is one hour east of Oslo and Rygge is about two hours west. Remember this when book-ing flights arriving late in the evening. All major air line companies fly to Garder-moen. Low price companies like Wizz Air and Ryan Air fly to Torp, while Rygge is mostly served by Norwegian.

How to get thereGardermoen airportAirport Express Train: www.flytoget.no Regular train: www.nsb.no (half the price of the Airport Express Train, but takes twice the time)The Airport Bus: www.flybussen.no orwww.flybussekspressen.no

Torp airportwww.torpekspressen.no

Rygge airportwww.ryggeekspressen.no or regular train to Rygge Station.

By boatThere have been ferries going to Denmark and Germany for ever. At some point they stopped being sheer instruments of trans-portation and turned into party-boats. These are safe and efficient means of trans-portation but be prepared for more or less everything. DFDS: Oslo-(Helsingborg)-Copenhagen www.dfds.noTel. 21 62 13 40

Stay for good

Legal requirementsTo apply for the following documents you will need to show a valid ID or passport, your employment contract where neces-sary, and two passport photos. A small fee is charged to process the applications.

VisaAll foreign nationals are required to obtain a visa to visit Norway. Persons from Schen-gen countries and other countries with a visa waiver agreement are exempted from this rule if staying for less than 90 days.

Work permitThis is mandatory for everyone and a fee (non-refundable) is charged to process the application. However, some are exempted from obtaining a work permit e.g. Nordic citizens, seamen etc and also depending on the duration (less than months) also per-

sons and groups from EU/EEA/EFTA are exempted. There are different types of work permits depending on the kind of work you are looking for e.g. students, specialist, temporary etc. Work permits are renewed after their validity has expired which is nor-mally after 12 months.NOTE: if working you are entitled to the same pay and working terms as Norwegians in accordance with your contract.

Residence permitPersons who intend to work in Oslo for more than three months are required to ob-tain a residence permit. Depending on the duration of the employment contract one will be granted a corresponding residence permit. However, if your contract is valid for an indefinite period a five year permit is granted and is renewable annually. Sepa-rate rules apply for citizens from EU/EEA/EFTA member countries.

Stay for good

Other basic requirements

• You must register with the police accom-panied with all the necessary identification papers.

• If you have a work permit you should visit the Norwegian national population for reg-istration.

• If intending to stay for more than three months one is expected to get a tuberculosis test.

• If intending to work in Oslo for a signifi-cant period you are obliged to undertake a Norwegian language course.

• If you are engaged in employment you must remember to apply for a tax card or else your employer is obliged to pay 50 % of your wages/salary.

• If you are unemployed it is advisable to register with the national employment bu-reau (NAV).

• You are entitled to a personal doctor, but need referral to seek specialised treatment. You also have to pay a cost-sharing charge although children under 12 years and ex-pectant women get free treatment.

Norwegian idiosyncrasiesHere is some “important” information regarding the typical Norwegian life-style. This will make it easier for you to understand Norwegian behaviour:

• Norwegians are generally thought to be shy and reserved. However, given time you will find them warm and friendly. You just have to be a little patient with them and you will be surprised by the change of things.• Norwegians are very time conscious and are likely to get irritated or see you as im-polite if you arrive late for an appointment.• Norwegians take cognisance of per-sonal space so don’t take offence if you see them standing in public transport yet there is an extra space next to you. It can be difficult striking up a conversation with them if you are a stranger.• If you go out it is expected that you will foot your bill and when invited to a party it is advisable to bring along your own drinks.• Since Norwegians don’t appreciate im-promptu visits you are better advised to call beforehand.• Although Norwegian prices are con-sidered high don’t use that as an excuse for converting every item into your local currency. You might end up buying very little, poor quality items or even worse; absolutely nothing.• Motorists and cyclists rarely honk or blow horns. This is considered impolite.Further information:www.studyinnorway.nowww.norway.nowww.norway.infowww.visitnorway.com
