"Løkka Deli" in Oslo offers the best option for a traditional Norwegian matpakke. The menu is very concentrated but every sandwich is just delicious...

"Way Down South" in Oslo is a south-state barbeque restaurant at one of the best locations in the city. The food is great, but I come here for the vibe...

"Grefsenkollen" offers my number one view in Oslo. There are several amazing 'secret' spots where locals gather throughout the year. Also, the restaurant!

"Fyrhuset Kuba" fulfills my mission to find cheap beer in Oslo. This small bar adjacent to the Vulkan area along Akerselva offer a laid-back and chill concept.

The heart of the island, restaurant Gressholmen Kro, is only a 5 minutes’ walk from the dock and impossible to miss. An obligatory ferry trip from the center of Oslo!

"Solemskogen" is a great entry point to the Oslo forest Lillomarka. Come here and discover why locals put on skis and venture out into the dark forest...

"Gimle Kino" is originally from 1939 and one of my favorite movie theaters in Oslo. Perfect for discovering a new, unknown director on a Sunday afternoon.

"Sørenga Sea Bath" has become a massive favorite for the Oslo crowd, especially in summer, but I prefer coming here in winter, early on a weekend...
