To the east are Grönland and Grunerlokka, formerly working-class districts. Let's start with a morning walk in the botanical gardens musée d'Histoire naturellebefore paying tribute to Edvard at the Munch Museum. We go down via Grønland to start a walk along the Ankerselva River. Its landscaped banks will take you to Grünerlokka. The streets of Thorval and Markveien are filled with the small cafés and trendy restaurants that have made the neighbourhood famous. From there, you can visit the brand new Pop Senteret, an interactive museum on Norwegian pop culture and its influence in the world. If it's Sunday, go to the Bla market, a large market of local and artisanal creations with jazz concerts in Grunerlokka. After this busy day, what better way to spend the evening than in the Mathalen food hall? It is a large covered market with food stalls from all over the world!

After walking the streets of Oslo, let's get some fresh air. Greenery is never far away, and the few minutes separating the city centre from the ski slopes show how nature has remained at the heart of culture. How nice! So let's start with a walk in the Ekerbergparken. A sculpture park from which the view of Oslo is breathtaking. On one side the wide open spaces, the fjord, and on the other side the city with the expanding Barcode. From there, choose between visiting Holmenkollen and Oslo Summer or Winter Park, where you can find the Fram and Kon Tiki museums that take you on a journey through space and time, immersing you in the world of great expeditions and the discovery of the North Pole. We will return to the centre to enjoy Oslo's best coffee at the Fuglen, before resting in front of a film at the Film Museum, where Norwegian films are shown. And why not finish this stay at the Magic Ice Bar, a new Ice Bar concept recently successfully introduced in the Norwegian capital.
