I'm always a sucker for good coffee and this is one of the few places in Europe that delivered. This place is cute, quaint, cozy and serves beer too. You can find the coffee shop in the front and the beer bar in the back. They have free wifi and amazing banana nut muffins. I know that's so weird, I'm not even usually a muffins person but this was one delightful muffin. Great place to relax, and unwind after a day of sightseeing!

Highlight of our Oslo trip hands down!…read more There are indoor and outdoor exhibitors, making this museum agreeable to whatever the weather has in mind for the day. While the indoor exhibits are fun and educational, my family and I found the outdoor displays especially interesting and fun. Tons of photo opps, and lots of places with shade if you're worried about sun exposure. Inside there are even legos and books (in Norwegian) for children. Be sure to look for: -Kong Oscar church (absolutely beautiful) -the horses! -staff dressed up in traditional Norwegian clothing Keep in mind: -outdoors has some inclines (not the most stroller friendly, but doable) Tip: bring a selfie stick to get some photos in front of some of the very tall outdoor displays!

It might possibly be an old, refurbished industrial complex or warehouse. Spent about 90 minutes in this place, and saw everything. Admission was free so that's a big bonus, especially on a rainy day :-). The staff is very friendly and you'll also find an attached store and modern vegan restaurant inside (which we're going to check out tonight). We left the place inspired by this well presented exhibition.

I ordered a wheat beer and I think that sums it up: At Litteraturhuset you have all sorts of clientel! The place itself is rather spacious and the basement part served as a venue this evening for an event on band lyrics . Yes, there are often events related to litterature and other intellectual topics and you should follow their Facebook page to get updates. Litteraturhuset lies at the bottom of Majorstuen and next to the Royal garden - a nice location in summer, but rather grey and hidden away in the dark evenings of winter. Still, the place was full and is obviously pop. If on a roll, go by Lorry while at it- it's just around the corner!
