Oslo / Architecture

The City Hall ( Rådhuset ) is my favorite building in Oslo, it was designed by Arnstein Arneberg and Magnus Poulsson and completed in 1950. I love the main hall with its 21 meter high ceilings, and wall paintings by Norwegian artists Henrik Sørensen og Alf Rolfsen.

Oslo / Park

Ekebergparken is Oslo's newest sculpture park with work by artist such as Louise Bourgeois, Sarah Sze, Marina Abramović and Sean Henry. In addition to the sculptures placed carefully in between the forested parkland, Ekebergparken has a fantastic view of the City.

Oslo / Place

Sukkerbiten is a great place to eat and drink in the summer, right on the water with a view of the Opera house. It´s run by a selection of Oslo's clubs and bars, and the program changes through the summer.

Oslo / Cafe

The owners of the very popular and charming cafe Liebling are these days opening a second place around the corner. It´s named after a popular children's song, Kanskje kommer kongen ( Maybe the king will come). Lovely as they are, they want to unite the city's young population with the elderly by running a cafe inside a retirement home. What´s not to like, I think the king should come!

Oslo / Shop

Fuglen is a cafe, cocktail bar and second hand design shop specialising in quirky and sometimes forgotten treasures, predominantly from the 50’s and 60’s. Fuglen first opened it´s doors in 1963, and having a cup of coffee here is like stepping back in time, Scandinavian style.
