Anna of the North

– I love walking around in both Vålerenga and Kampen, which are both in the eastern part of Oslo. You can walk around and feel the pleasant atmosphere from the old working-class wooden houses at Vålerenga – many of which, by the way, are protected. Fun fact: you can even get a nice view of the Oslo Fjord from the park surrounding Vålerenga church.

– At Kampen you can walk around and enjoy small charming cafés (with yummy sweet buns), and there is even a farm in the middle of the city where you can go see the animals!

– My favourite place to both play and enjoy live music is Parkteatret – an intimate, yet large venue with great sound. You can catch upcoming musicians as well as famous stars here. Another great concert venue is Blå, which is definitely worth visiting – whether there is a concert on or not.

– My favourite trail follows the Alnaelva river and its beautiful surroundings, down towards Svartdalsparken. Svartdalsparken is actually a primeval forest in the middle of a city! The forest is very old, and I love the sound of the lively river and the trains passing by, as well as the combination of old forest and the urban vibes along the trail.

– Not many people know this, but from Alnaelva you can walk up the stairs – 126, I counted – and get a magnificent view of the whole city! And that's all for free!
