Crazy buns at Bollebar! In Norway we learn to make buns from a young age, for any celebration or occasion. These buns are however next level! If you have a sweet tooth and want to check out the Nordic pastries, we would recommend Bollebar!

We tried out two kinds of buns; Yuzu-Lemon Curd and Strawberry Vanilla! They were yummy! 🍰🧁😋

Oslo’s cheapest accommodation! Marka 😌

Norway is probably best known for its mountains and fjords. In Oslo we have little of that. We do have our Norwegian woods though, called Marka, and they are amazing.

Located on the northern side of Maridalen, Øyungen is a short hike from the nearest bus stop. From Oslo Central Station, take bus 54 (Kjelsås) to Godals vei. Switch there to bus 51 (Maridalen) and exit at Skar. From Skar you follow the trail to Øyungen lake, located about 2,5 km from the bus stop. The trail is marked all the way to the lake with the name «Øyungsdammen» of «Øyungen».

You can rent your hammock for free at our Infodesk in Møllergata 3D. We will provide you with hammock, mattress, sleeping bag and a tarp ++ directions and tips for what to bring 🫰🏾🫰🏾🫰🏾 Stop by our Infodesk or request a booking at [email protected]

Havens kafé is the definition of a best kept secret. Hidden among beautiful townhouses and appartments from the 1920s, this tiny café sells quality coffee and delicious baked goods. The indoor area is cozy and intimate, but the real treat is sitting in their seating area outside, with a coffee in your hands and the sun beaming down on your face ☀️☕️

👋Local tip from Julie:

The Finnish sauna culture has hit Oslo hard, and you’ll find saunas all along the fjord🏊
Watch the corporate city chase the clock, while time stands still inside walls of warm wood🔥
Oslo Badstuforening runs several saunas and I recommend the one at Langkaia. This sauna is in the middle of the modern architectural Oslo and from here you’ll see Bjørvika, the Deichman library, the Opera House and the Munch Museum.
💰Drop-in costs 150 NOK for non-members.
☝️Remember to bring your swimsuit! Yes, you heard us right: Swimsuit. No one is naked in a Norwegian sauna.

👋 Local tip from Brage:

As Jim Jarmusch’s cult classic ☕️Coffee and Ci******es🚬 is one of my favourite movies, I was happy to hear about a place called Coffee & Ci******es that was opening in Oslo this year👍
In the morning it's a café, and in the evening it's a bar. This is your opportunity to experience Oslo like a local moviestar✨
🎥 In the movie, there aren't really any main characters, just a bunch of cool, weird, random people talking about life, ideas, dreams and everything in between. While you’re there, imagine that you’re a character in the movie, or that the movie plays itself out right in front of you.

👋 Local tip from Emilie:

Do you want to make the most out of those long bright summer evenings?☀️
I love the Scandinavian summer and St. Hanshaugen park is perhaps the best place in Oslo to experience it🌺
I recommend you to bring a blanket and a basket filled with picnic essentials and watch the sun set (at 22:41 1st of July)🍱🥨🥖🍒🍉🍇🧃
The feeling of contentment always hits me in the park, watching the sky go from red to purple, absorbering the moment of summer🌇
PS. This dream might burst if you go here on a saturday night. It is not quite as romantic when the park is filled with hammered young adults, barking and yelling ugly Norwegian words. But then again, who says no to a summer party in the park? The sun will send you home (at 04:01 2nd of July)🥴

👋 Local tip from Ane:

Close to the Vigeland Park you find Majorstuen, a place known for old money and old architecture🏛️
A famous Norwegian poet, André Bjerke, lived here, in Jacob Aalls gate. He wrote the poem The Autumn of Oslo, where he personified the autumn in Oslo, depicting it as a crisp, elusive woman dressed in a red ball gown🍂 In the autumn this woman shows herself on the walls of Majorstuen, covering the buildings in sharp red virginia creeper🍁
I like to enjoy my coffee and sit on the bench at the end of Jacob Alls gate, while I imagine the lived life of old poets in this neighbourhood☕️

30/08/2023

👋 Local tip from Jakob:

If you are intrigued by the brown pub culture, you should get your beer at Valkyrien restaurant (or Valka as the locals call it)🍻
This is a historical place, and a bit of an odd one at that. It’s known to be Leon Trotsky’s preferred spot for a brew during his amnesty in Norway. It’s weird in all the right ways, and in my opinion, the best surroundings for discussing Das Kapital🤓
On Wednesdays there is usually a local quintet playing folk music🎻

Meet our graphical designer, Synne 🌻The design of this year’s map is inspired by Oslo’s architectural features. The colors used in the design are carefully chosen from Oslo’s new color palette, hence creating a map as colorful as our city. If you look around whilst using the map, you can see that the colors in the map resembles the actual colors of the buildings in the streets.

Looking for the perfect pizza place? Zio Pizza is italian approved. Personally, we would recommend trying nr10, mortadella. Enjoyyyyy

Have a look at the wood houses in Fredensborgveien and stop for a glass of natural wine. This little red wood house is filled with wine from small producers with respect for nature and taste buds.

Say hello to Ann Helen and check out her local hit: seasonal swimming 🧜‍♀️🧜‍♀️ 🌊Guess you didn’t expect Oslo to be a city for the aquaphile. There’s always an occasion for the perfect bath in Oslo, both in summer and winter! My favourite place for a swim is Tjuvholmen. It’s super central, so I go here during the sunrise before work, together with the rich people living here, like the legendary old lady who goes for a bath every morning donning her bathrobe, slippers and coffee cup.

Do you need some sparkle in your life? 🧟‍♂️ No problem 🪄🪄🪄 In collaboration with @unginfo_oslo we've created a fresh, new, exclusive Queer Guide to Oslo. Pick it up at our Infodesk in Møllergata 3D and be inspired! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Spring is finally here and it is painting the streets and parks in Oslo with beaming colors. Here you see cherry blossom in Sofienbergsparken.

The great urban outdoor

We might live in the biggest city in Norway, but Oslo is actually 63 % forest, so we're torn between our hiker and metropolitan personalities. Let us guide you to the great outdoors, our style! Check out the USE-IT Oslo free map to find our favourite hikes and other outdoor activities to do in Oslo. We'll tell you where to go and what to pack, all that remains is for you to take a step into the wild!

USE-IT Oslo river walk

The river Akerselva is a symbolic "border" separating the east and west side of Oslo. 🏞️💚 This year’s map is divided by this very same river. On one side of the map you will find the west riverside and our favourite places to visit there, and on the other you will find our suggestions for exploring the wonderful east side. #useitmaps #visitoslo #useitoslo

USE-IT Oslo free map 2020

💚 The new USE-IT Oslo map is here! 💚 This year's edition of the USE-IT Oslo map guides you through Osloites' favourite places, from the posh west side, to the gentrified east side. Pick up the USE-IT Oslo free map at the Info desk in Møllergata 3 d! #useitmaps #useitoslo #visitoslo

🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️ What is the best way to cool off in the summer heat this week-end, you may ask. My answer: float down the stream of the river Akerselva. In Nydalen there are little pools in the river, where the stream is just strong enough for fun and safe play. Hop in!🏊‍♂️🌊✨

Merry Christmas!

The info desk is closed during Christmas. Last day open before Christmas is Friday 22. December. We open again on Tuesday 2. January. Merry Christmas!

Our Story

USE-IT is tourist info for young people, in almost 40 cities in Europe. We all publish free maps, most of us have a page, some have a website, or even run an info desk for young travellers. And we're all working hard to get our cities into the smartphone app as soon as possible.

What do we stand for? • USE-IT is made by locals: we don't work with travel journalists but with locals. • USE-IT is not commercial: nobody pays to be included on the maps. • USE-IT maps are free. You find them in hostels and tourist infos. • USE-IT is for young travellers: no 5-star hotels, no fancy dinners. • USE-IT is up-to-date: new editions are made every year. • USE-IT is not a trendy guide, it's about the life and soul of the city. • USE-IT is honest: no publicity, no marketing nonsense.
