Local favorites
More used by the locals than tourists the 1,5 - 2 hours hike from the apartment up to Grefsenkollen will give you the best view over Oslo. At the historical restaurant at the top of the hill you will find tasty pizza, great coffie, local beer and a perfect spot to watch the sun set over the city at night.

A local favorit for a Sunday walk. Stroll up or down the city river and experience the diversity of the city, from the traditional and old part of Grünerlökka to the modern Nydalen. Stop at the cafès or historical sites for a small break along the way, or bring swimsuit on a warm summer day as there are severeal places to take a dip from Nydalen and up stream.

On a warm summer evening Frysja would be the perfect place to cool down. Almost at the beginning of the river, Alerselva, the water moves smoothly around curves of the green riverside making it perfect for a swim counter current, or just to lay down on your back in the water and float around. Definitely one of my favorite places in Oslo during summer.

A floating sauna right next to the Operahouse is something that is worth visiting. Even though it might feel a litte strange change into swimwear right next to the operahouse, once you enter the float, you will enter a different world of recreation.

Another local favorite. A small hike form the metrostation Vetakollen brings you through the woods of Oslomarka to Vettakollen Viewpoint. Typical weekend hike among friends and family.

Close to the Operea House you will find Vannkunsten. One of the newest neighborhoods in Oslo. Worth a visit for its special architecture and small canals.

Food
This old fashion restaurant from 1951 is one of my personal favorites. Good vibes and atmosphere, friendly staff and a selection traditional Norwegian food, alongside with some international known classics. As restaurants in general are an expencive experience in Oslo, this at least gives you value for money. It doesn't look like much on the outside, but once you enter the door you will be met with a warm, cozy feeling.

Mentioned in the Michelin guide, but far from upper class. This restaurant has a low key and warm atmosphere. In addition to that the food is of course excellent, and prices not bad at all. Recommend to book in advance.

A small restaurant with only six tables. They serve an incredible set menu with seasonal variations of the Nordic cuisine. Amazing taste, to an affordable price. Make sure to book a table in advance! They get fully booked.

La Mayor is a contemporary Mexican fusion restaurant in the heart of Oslo. From the street it is almost impossible to see this hidden gem of a restaurant. From the outside it does not look like much, but once you climb the stairs and enter the place you will feel the welcoming atmosphere of Latin-America. Exciting food, combination of taste and a great collection of wonderful cocktails makes this restaurant one of our true favorites in town!

Hidden behind a dark door without a sign you will find this amazing coctail bar. Awarded the best bar in Norway, it is still not overcrowded due to its somewhat hidden location. You might have to walk past it a couple of times before you find the entrance ;)
