Annichen's Guide to Oslo
Nabolag
Grünerløkka is one of the hippest areas in Oslo. It is known for its street art, stylish bars, trendy dance clubs and casual cafes. Independent stores sell designer goods and vintage fashion, and on weekends, markets are held in public places that attract people in search of home-cooked food, kitchenware, jewelry and nips. There are hiking trails along the Akerselva River and along the way you come across small, distinctive parks and stylish industrial concert venues.
