BLÅ
Here we will discover a very photogenic creative arts and music hub right by the river.

Along delightful paths, we will follow the river upstream to Vulkan, a model for green urban living, with cutting edge venues and Oslo’s best food hall.

Damstredet
We will then make your way along cobbled Damstredet with its charming, small, wooden houses from the early 19th century.
10 minutes

At the top of the hill we will visit the Cemetery of the Saviour, a tranquil oasis in the heart of the city, where the final resting places of Edvard Munch and Henrik Ibsen can be found.

Moving along picturesque Telthusbakken, we will head back down towards the river.

Grunerlokka
We will then head back into the hustle and bustle of Grünerløkka. Weaving your way through numerous lesser known streets packed with history, we will pass award winning cafes, buzzing hangout spots, and I can point out my favorite 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.
