The image showcases a wooden table with three sandwiches placed on top, accompanied by a fork and knife. The sandwiches are arranged in a row, from left to right, with a small space between each one. The first sandwich, located on the left, features tomatoes, lettuce, and sprouts as its toppings. Continuing to the right, the second sandwich showcases scrambled eggs and dill as its fillings. Finally, the last sandwich is filled with roasted peppers. Moving to the right, the two sandwiches are displayed on a marble plate, presenting a delicious combination of cheese, herbs, and toast.

Oslo&#8217;s latest IT-area presents to you Mike&#8217;s Corner, run by Mike (Michael Ray Vera Cruz Angeles). Mike is a foodie and a photographer, which allows for a creative energy. It is a less stiff place compared to its more straight neighbors. Mike will offer you a relaxed American-style bodega in street-food style.



Here you can come for the total hang-over cure package, with a choice of five different sandwiches, such as Chicken Parm or a Corner Special. Combine it with fries + a selection of dips. Finish with a colorful Jarritos, and you are ready to go!

Lorry&#8217; has been both a cultural pub and restaurant since 1870. Its been run by the same family for 60 years through 3 generations. If you want to experience Oslo the old-school way, Lorry is not to be missed. A lot of memories are made here!



Surrounded by quirky, antique &amp; mythical interiors, you can enjoy traditional fish &amp; chips, reindeer cake, tartar, chevre salad, or just a cold beer and some people-watching from the cozy outdoor seating area.

Lorry

This authentic Italian restaurant is located just a few minutes walk from the hotel and is definitely worth the visit! Whether you order a fresh dish of pasta or one of their delicious pizzas, you are bound to end up with a smile on your face and full belly. 



The classic Tagliatelle al Ragu will bring water in your mouth before the fork even reaches it, but you really can&#8217;t go wrong with anything you order. 



The restaurant doesn&#8217;t take reservations, but meet up at the restaurant and you might just be lucky enough to get a table. You can also put yourself on a list for the next available table!

Mamma Pizza

Breakfast or dinner? Tranen has both! With two concepts in one place, an airy French bistro scene with a centerpiece disco ball, you can observe plenty of Oslo hipsters while you gobble on some tasty goods. During the day, you can eat pastries, sandwiches, or pancakes from Åpent Bakeri, and at 16:00, the historical space morphs into a pizzeria. You can choose between red or white pizza, such as buffalo mozzarella from Italian cheese producers and Salsiccia sausage from local butchers in Stavanger. Maybe the best pizza in town?

If you visit Norway, you are not allowed to leave before you eat fish. Fiskeriet is just the place with a long history of fish &amp; seafood in Oslo. In 2010 Fiskeriet took over for the local fish hero for over 75 years, Erling Moe. They proudly continue his legacy of selling seafood in the same store in central Oslo. Buy fresh produce from the counter, or relish in celebrated dishes such as fish soup, bacalao, or oysters, maybe combined with a nice glass of white whine? It&#8217;s a yes from us.

Struggling to decide on the cuisine of the day? At Mathallen, you have plenty of options with over 30 specialty stores. You can find everything from French delicacies at Grains, and Asian tapas at Atelier, to a coffee concept store at Solberg &amp; Hansen. You can bring home fresh fish produce from Vulkanfish, devour tasty gelato from Paradis, or ask the bartender at Hopyard to recommend the latest craft beer. Win-win-win.

This bar called Misfornøyelsesbar is an experience a bit out of the ordinary and is probably not for everyone. Half art-concept/half bar, it is basically made to make you suffer a little. Or perhaps just feel slightly discontent with life. Sounds like fun, right? We all have our kinks! The whole vibe feels a bit like an amusement park; staying true to the past, it used to be a mental institution. Order your choice of drink from the bar, but be prepared to feel anxious, angry, and slightly paranoid.

Misfornøyelsesbar

From time to time, we should all take pleasure in classical Italian cuisine. A staircase up from Håndslag, you will find Girotondo, a family-run business with a focus on hearty service. It is folksy and down-to-earth, designed as a cafeteria with large tables that you share with other guests. If you crave an intimate and casual ambiance with good food and nice prices, this is for you. Maybe you can book a whole table for an evening out with your friends or family? P.S. Make sure to book a table a few days ahead; these guys are busy!

Girotondo

If you like Thai-food and don&#8217;t want to go too far from the hotel, Rice Bowl is the perfect choice! 



They have a wide variety of dishes and basically everything we&#8217;ve tried has been delicious. We highly recommend the Kai Phad Khing, the taste of ginger really is a treat for your taste buds.

Rice Bowl

This one is for the thirsty and informal adventurers looking for something a little different. Perestrojka serves you east-european music in between rough Sovjet interior, pitchers of beer, shots of vodka with chili, coconut milk, or &#8216;kamferdrops&#8217;. You can hang out with your friends, play a round of chess, Pac-Man, or ask the DJ to play your favorite tune while you groove under starry lights. Want to save some money on a night out and go home with a little buzz? Perestrojka is here for you!

Perestrojka

You know those small and intense bars they always use in films when they are in need of a statement smoking scene? Well at Merkur Bar you&#8217;ll find it. This is Oslo&#8217;s hidden pearl, disguised in a side street at St. Hanshaugen. It is one of those places someone usually has to tell you about. Unless they don&#8217;t want you to know about it of course. Amongst the beautiful interior from the 30s, inspired by Japanese influences and showcasing original artwork by Kumi Sugai, you can try out some natural wine &amp; sake. Stylish and understated, this is for the eclectic and David-Lynch-vibey crowd (don&#8217;t tell them we said that.)

Picture of the inside of "Merkur Bar Oslo". The bar has a traditional feel, with older, wooden-coloured furniture. On the bar counter there is a selection of beverages and a monstera plant. On the wall hangs a picture of a sunset.

Merkur Bar

If you like the sound of cocktails and good music a little less on the modern side, this is the place to go for a calmer evening out. During the day, you can swing by for a coffee, read a book, or chat with the interesting clientele. 



Meyers is lowkey, but also a slightly fancy neighborhood bar at the top of Grünerløkka. Classical drinks are made new and refreshing. Enjoy them in a homey and cinematic environment designed for a relaxing time.

Up for something a little different, sweet, and a lot of fun? Take a short train trip out of the city, and go for a guided walk with alpacas! For the kind price of NOK 395, you will walk through the Norwegian farm landscape, responsible for, and in the good company of your own cute alpaca, for instance, &#8216;Edvard&#8217;, or &#8216;Hugo&#8217;. All the alpacas have different names and personalities; all are very friendly, mild, and curious beings! Free for ages 0-2.

In Slemdal, you can find a well-kept secret worth searching for. Mystical, historical, and dramatic all at once, the museum&#8217;s main attraction is a dark, barrel-vaulted room with walls covered in fresco paintings. The 800-square-meter painting Vita showcases human life from conception to death in often explicitly erotic scenes. A remarkable sight and out of the ordinary. The museum is open every Sunday, and booking tickets online ahead of time is recommended.

An exciting and unique day for the kids? Farm life is an essential part of Norwegian history and culture! Ekebergsletta is easily accessible and only 10 minutes from Oslo central, you can visit an animal farm especially made for families with children. The philosophy: horses and other animals should be a joy for people in the city! Go for a horseback ride, or interact closely with the farm&#8217;s different animals, such as goats, rabbits, and chickens. Have fun!

Farm visit in the city – Ekebergsletta

Ramen! Pretty cheap! Very yummy! Hrimnir makes ramen dishes with an emphasis on top-quality noodles made of wheat. The restaurant is in close contact with its suppliers and farmers that make the produce. You will get a big bowl of tasty ramen, all made with different umami sauces and various toppings. For a quick drop-in, you can eat by the window or book a table for a longer stay with main dishes, desserts, and drinks.

For an affordable way to enjoy a &#8216;city break,&#8217; join the locals and hop on the ferry. With a Ruter day pass, you can travel from island to island with the same ferry. Explore some historic ruins at Hovedøya, or treat yourself to a sunny picnic and swim at Langøyene. With six islands to choose from, each with its own distinct character, it makes for the perfect outdoor day experience.

Island hopping in the inner Oslo fjord

The harbor has become an essential area for the people of Oslo to enjoy themselves and soak in the city culture literally. At KOK, you can go for a spontaneous drop-in morning sauna session or go all-in and rent a floating sauna with a dedicated driver who will show you around the fjord while you jump in and heat up nicely afterward. Make sure to try this experience if you want to feel like a true Oslo citizen!

This is the latest and most talked about cultural house in our city. You can find it by the Alna River in the part of the city called Gamlebyen, &#8220;the old town.&#8221; A little bit outside of the city and close to nature, it is a good place to unwind. Fancy an early yoga session? A pottery class? An intimate concert with up-and-coming artists? Kruttverket has unique events, a gallery, with more. You can also stop by for a coffee or some food. In the winter we recommend that you enjoy a warm fire while you gaze at the beautiful river.

Kruttverket

Just a short walking distance from Citybox, you can find a large museum dedicated to Edvard Munch, a famous Norwegian painter. Four years before his death, he gifted Oslo commune over 28.000 artworks. The brand new museum of 2021 has over 13 floors and is truly worth a visit for anyone with an interest in art and art history. No prior knowledge is needed. The large-scale paintings, photographs, or other art installations are enjoyable for all! Young, old, and families! Maybe finish the tour with a drink at the rooftop bar?

The image showcases a tall building with a large glass facade. The building prominently displays the word "MUNCH" on its side.

SALT started as an art project with large pyramid constructions rented out for exhibitions and events and has eventually turned into a never-ending &#8216;festival&#8217; down at the harbor. You can come to SALT for all your creative needs, such as concerts, films, events, talks, stand-up shows, exhibitions, speed dates, with more. You can also have dinner from one of the many food stalls or try the large pyramid sauna with cold outdoor pools and a view of the Opera and fjord.

We highly recommend seeing a show at The Norwegian National Opera &amp; Ballet! It is an exciting venue of amazing performances, such as ballets, contemporary dance performances, symphony concerts, with more. Sometimes, they also put on shows outside and on top of the Opera House roof. The roof is otherwise always free and open for the public, and you can walk on top of it to enjoy the fjord view!

Being the world&#8217;s largest sculpture park, this is a must-see! With an early introduction to the Italian Renaissance, Gustav Vigeland eventually found his own inspired but still unique style and has made over 200 large-scale sculptures in granite, bronze, and iron. The sculptures were installed mainly in the period of 1940-1949, but show his life work for over 40 years. All sculptures show a beautiful depiction of humanity. Start at the Fountain, then move towards the Monolith and the Bridge. Free &amp; always open!
