Very nice record shop, with a good selection of records, and some books and merch. Very friendly staff who likes helping visitors find music they might like.

One of the nicest places to have an outside beer in the summer. Sits right along Akerselva (river that goes through parts of Oslo east, nice for walks).

Design and Architecture centre in Oslo. They have some quite cool professional exhibitions here as well as student graduate exhibitions. It’s a really nice building (which you would kind of expect) right next to the river that divides the east and west of Oslo.

The Ekeberg restaurant is located on the Ekeberg hill and offers a great view of the Oslofjord and great food. Not the cheapest place in Oslo, but the view and the delicious food are worth the price!

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.
