Neighborhoods

It used to be a poor area centered around factories, mostly workers lived there, it was not an attractive city quarter a few decades back. Now it is a trendy neighbourhood with the best coffee shops, eating places, breweries and design/clothing shops. It is also covered in street art. I'm sure it has a lot to offer to any traveller.

A low key restaurant where you can taste exotic meat ( seal, whale etc). Don't mix with Lofoten restaurant by the harbour. The latter has never impressed me neither with their cuisine nor the service. Lofotstua staff is very friendly and the food is great ( at least the last time I was there). You probably need to make a reservation.

The best/fanciest coffee place in Oslo. You can order a tasting menu or some nice cup of cortado. They have coffee beans, books and other equipment for sale. You can also order a course in coffee-making.

Museum of the great painter, Emanuel Vigeland, the least known brother of Gustav Vigeland fully covered with the detailed painting. The room is very dark to preserve colours, this brings on an amazing effect- you start seeing more and more details as your eyes get used to the darkness. Quite an unusual and cool place to visit. They have short opening hours, check their schdule.

A tiny cafeteria by the waterfall, it is nice to have a cup of coffee and enjoy the view. Do not expect a great food or drinks, they will be just a decent, nothing special. This would be the place locals would stop by to relax and let babies sleep while moms catch-up on latest topics or something :)
