Off the Beaten Track On Foot: Oslo’s Historic & Trendy East

Join me on a walking tour through Grünerløkka, where I live. We’ll uncover the area’s unique history, lush nature, creative scene, and the hippest cafés, bars, and food spots right now.
This beautiful, two-hour long walking tour will take us through a number of trendy neighbourhoods, past cultural hotspots, lush parks and stunning waterfalls in the central eastern part of the city.

We begin this tour at Kulturkirken Jakob (Jakob Culture Church). From here we move into the Grünerløkka district. You’ve probably heard it is known for bars, restaurants, and independent shops, but I’ll also tell you about its really interesting history. I live in this area, so of course I will point out all the hippest places right now. We’ll discover a very photogenic creative arts and music hub right by the river, then follow the river upstream, along delightful paths to Vulkan, a model for green urban living, with cutting edge venues and Oslo’s best food hall.

We will then make our way along cobbled Damstredet and picturesque Telthusbakken with its charming tiny wooden houses from the early 19th century. At the top of the hill we will visit the Cemetery of Our Saviour, a tranquil oasis in the heart of the city, where the final resting places of Edvard Munch and Henrik Ibsen can be found.

We will then carry on up along the Akerselva river, and see how the river’s factories have been converted into design centres and art academies. We’ll stroll through the mist of urban waterfalls while we learn about the impact the Industrial Revolution had on Oslo, and the areas surrounding the river in particular. If you like we will stop for tea, coffee or a delicious waffle at a cute spot on top of one of the waterfalls.

From here we will head back into the hustle and bustle of Grünerløkka. Weaving our way through numerous lesser known streets packed with history, we’ll pass award winning cafes, buzzing hangout spots, and I can point out my favourite cocktail bars and restaurants.

Depending on your wishes, the tour will either finish at one of the tram stops in Grünerløkka, or at Ankerbrua, close to where we started.
