OsloSt. Hanshaugen
St. Hanshaugen is one of Oslo's largest parks, located just north of the city centre. This popular recreational area is great for walks, and from the top of the hill you have a nice view of Oslo. St. Hanshaugen was originally a bare rock hill. In the 1840s the name St. Hanshaugen ("midsummer hill") came into use, as the hill was a popular place for midsummer celebrations. In 1936, an open-air café was built at Festplassen - the square on top of the hill - which is still a popular summer café today.
OsloDamstredet & Telthusbakken
Charming and picturesque part of central Oslo with well-preserved and inhabited wooden houses from the late 1700s and the 1800s. Damstredet is a cobbled street with wooden houses from the first half of the 19th century. The street runs between Akersveien and Fredensborgveien and is just 160 metres long. Telthusbakken is located between Maridalsveien and Akersveien, just below the medieval church Gamle Aker kirke. On one side of the 260-metre street lies a series of small wooden houses, and on the other side is a large allotment garden area, Egebergløkka. Along the gardens you can walk the romantic Kjærlighetsstien ("The Love Trail").
Kvadraturen
Kvadraturen is the area between Akershus Fortress and Grensen, Jernbanetorget and Egertorget. This was King Christian IV's town from the Renaissance. Only a few buildings from the 17th and 18th century can still be seen. In Kvadraturen you find the square Christiania torv, known for its fountain with a sculpture of a hand pointing to the ground. After the big town fire in 1624, the Danish-Norwegian King Christian IV decided to rebuild the town in this area and name it after himself. He supposedly pointed to this spot and said: "The new town will lie here!" The area is today known as Kvadraturen ("the quadrature") because of the rectangular street pattern of Christian IV's renaissance town. Several well-preserved buildings from the 17th century can be seen in Kvadraturen, such as the building that housed Oslo's first town hall, and the city's oldest restaurant, Café Engebret.
OsloBarcode
Bjørvika Barcode consists of twelve narrow high-rise buildings of different heights and widths. The buildings are built with some space in between them, thus jointly resembling a barcode. Barcode houses leading national and international businesses, and 10 000 people work here on a daily basis. The buildings also contain 400 apartments and a daycare center. On street level, you'll find a varied and attractive selection of restaurants, shops, galleries and other service providers. The Barcode architecture The BARCODE architecture concept was developed by the Norwegian firms DARK and a-lab, in collaboration with the Dutch agency MVRDV. The BARCODE concept is designed as a geometric system that stands out architecturally. The concept incorporates values such as openness to the fjord, admittance of light and airiness. Based on the BARCODE concept, the twelve buildings are designed by different architectural firms. Besides the overall shape, the buildings are very different. Each building has its own distinctive character, and enjoyable architectonic details and quirks make Barcode an architectural experience quite out of the ordinary.
OsloAker Brygge wharf
Popular area along the inner harbour with restaurants, shopping, apartments and office buildings. After a thorough renovation, the area has a fresh look and lots of new restaurants and shops. At street level Aker Brygge a vibrant commercial district, and the large open-air areas and indoor shopping street are often used for photo exhibitions, concerts and pop-up events for fashion, art and culture. For more than a century Aker Brygge was the site of a shipyard, Akers Mekaniske Verksted. The architecture at Aker Brygge is distinctive, with its combination of old, venerable shipyard buildings and modern architecture. When the sun is shining Aker Brygge is teeming with people day and night. The pedestrian area along the waterfront is lined with restaurants with great views of the marina and the Oslo Fjord. In total, Aker Brygge's restaurants have 2,500 chairs outdoors. Are you coming to Oslo by private boat? Aker Brygge Marina's guest harbour has 50 spaces.
OsloSørenga
Formerly an old container dock, Sørenga in Oslo has been transformed into a brand new neigbourhood by the Oslo fjord. The area consists of residential complexes with exciting architectural details and welcomes both residents and visitors to enjoy life at the water’s edge. A green park with several channels stretches through the whole neighbourhood. At the southernmost tip you’ll find Sørenga Seawater Pool, a popular recreational spot for Oslovians in summertime. Several waterfront restaurants offer great food in maritime surroundings, with a view to Oslo landmarks such as Barcode, the Oslo Opera House and Akershus Fortress. Sørenga is also a popular place for paddling. To get to Sørenga, just follow the new harbour promenade past the Opera House.
OsloBirkelunden
Popular park in the upper part of Grünerløkka between Paulus church and Grünerløkka school. The park was laid out in the 1860s, and contains a music pavilion from 1926 and a small park pool from 1928. On Sundays all year round, there is a bric-a-brac market in Birkelunden, which is often used for concerts, rallies and festivals. The blocks around Birkelunden mainly consist of three-/four-story apartment buildings from the 1870s and 1880s. The whole area is protected, including the park, Grünerløkka school, Paulus church and 15 blocks with 139 apartment buildings.
OsloSofienberg Park
The biggest park in the Grünerløkka area is a popular recreational area for the locals, especially the younger generations. The park has table tennis tables and a fun playground for the kids. In the middle of the park lies Sofienberg church. The park was originally a cemetery, inaugurated in 1858, but many people were critical to having a cemetery in a central and densely populated area. It was decided to gradually dismantle the cemetery and make a park, and in 1972 the construction of the whole park was completed. On the north side of the church, there is still a small, fenced graveyard for the Mosaic Religious Community. Norwegian name: Sofienbergparken
Islands and bathing spots
Dive into the fjord from islands or beaches, or find a quiet forest lake.
OsloIsland hopping in the Oslo Fjord
Take a ferry and go island hopping between the islands in the inner Oslo Fjord! With a regular public transportation ticket or an Oslo Pass you can easily get on and off any of the ferries going between Aker brygge, Hovedøya, Lindøya, Nakholmen, Bleikøya, Gressholmen and Langøyene. The islands are popular places to go swimming in the summer, but each island has its unique character and history worth exploring. Bring a picnic basket and a blanket and enjoy the peace and quiet just minutes away from the city centre. Ferry lines from Aker brygge Line B1: Hovedøya > Lindøya øst > Gressholmen > Bleikøya > Nakholmen > Lindøya vest > Hovedøya Line B1X (Summer): Aker Brygge > Hovedøya > Aker Brygge Line B2: Hovedøya > Gressholmen > Langøyene Ferry line from City Hall Pier 3 Route B9: Dronningen > Bygdøynes (Mar/Apr–Sep/Oct, covered by the Oslo Pass, but not by the regular tickets) Check ruter.no for updated timetables. Note: Do NOT miss the last ferry back from the islands to the city centre! There is no water taxi service available in Oslo. The Norwegian Society for Sea’s main purpose is to save lives at sea and help people in need. The same goes for the police and fire department: they are NOT transportation services. On rare occasions, the Norwegian Society for Sea Rescue can transport people back to the city centre but the fee for this journey will be a minimum of 5.000 NOK.
