citylikeyou — Kanskje Kommer Kongen

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 / Place

It's Oslos most popular sledging slope. It’s existed since 1900 and is 2000 metres long with a fall of 255 metres. You can rent a sledge at the top and my record down it is about 6 minutes. There’s no better place for making you feel like a little kid again!

Oslo / Restaurant

I love how this Vietnamese restaurant has decided to keep the interior and exterior of the Greek restaurant that was there before it. Also: good food for a reasonable price.

Oslo / Restaurant

Almost definitely the best kebabs in town. They have a newspaper article on the wall that claims that a guy that lives about 8 hours away travels into Oslo just to eat their kebabs☺. Smells a bit funny outside sometimes though…

Oslo / Area

Grünerløkka is a part of Oslo where you find lots of small cafes, restaurants and bars. This area is also a popular place for shopping. You find a lot of vintage and second hand shops here. Grünerløkka has a few parks which are perfect for barbequing with your friends during the summer.

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.
