THE FUTURE IS NOW Welcome to What’s On Oslo in January and February; a new year with new possibilities.

With the Christmas holidays over and a new year starting, January and February is the time when many newly rested and inspired people like to try new projects, learn new things and improve themselves.

But of course, you are also in the middle of the coldest part of the year. Does this mean that you should stay inside, or bravely get out there and inhale that crisp winter air?

Do you prefer hurtling down snowcovered hills on your skis, or the après-ski party afterwards in a cozy pub? Karaoke or ice skating?

To help you decide, this issue features an article on pages 22-25 where indoor and outdoor activities go head to head.

In addition, for your culture fix, there are

04

our two regular and downright essential sections on things to experience around town: The official Museum List tells you what’s on at Oslo's many museums, with updated information on exhibitions, events, opening times and contact details.

Our Oslo Event Calendar gets you up to date on lots and lots of concerts, theatre shows, family events and festivals on a near daily basis in the whole of January and February.

How do you find your way to all these weird and wonderful things? Not to worry – we have an answer for that too!

Take a look in the back of the magazine for maps to Oslo’s museums and city centre as well as a handy metro map.

31 JAN, 20:00

The Distance Over Time Tour - Celebrating 20 Years Of Scenes From A Memory sees Dream Theater performing an almost three-hour long set. The band is widely considered to be the world's most important progressive metal band. Songs like The Glass Prison, As I Am, Pull Me Under and Erotomania ensure Dream Theater’s place on the prog throne. The Grammy-nominated band is known for showing off their technical superiority, and their powerful, hard-hitting metal has made them the favourite band of many technical musicians.

Location: Oslo Spektrum, Sonja Henies plass 2 More details: www.oslospektrum.no

After playing three sold out concerts at John Dee last year, The Good The Bad and The Zugly are changing venues to the bigger Rockefeller Music Hall. We are experiencing a wave of good Norwegian music, according to Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich. However he’s not specifically talking about The Good The Bad and The Zugly, which he apparently can’t stand.

Anyway, the bands third studio album Misantropical House got a lot of praise, and won a Spellemann award (Norwegian Grammy) in the category Rock.

14 FEB, 19:00

MACIEJ OBARA QUARTET

We are delighted to be able to invite the Polish wonder Maciej Obara back to Oslo in connection with his latest album at ECM! Obara became acquainted with the Górecki family when he was living in Katowice, and this is the first time the acclaimed family has encouraged interpretations of the music by an improviser. In May 2019, the quartet took first prize in BMW's Jazz-Welt competition in Munich. The jury said the following about the award winners: “Obara Quartet has an enormous amplitude of emotion, the dynamics and the possibility of expression with which Obara and his quartet were able to fascinate the audience. His lyrical saxophone playing, the strength of his compositions and the unchained power of this outstanding ensemble's improvisations turned the quartet into this year's winner. The remaining members of the quartet are the renowned drummer Gard Nilssen, who was artist-in-residence at Moldejazz 2019, and bassist Ole Morten Vågan, who is the conductor of the Trondheim Jazz Orchestra, among others.

Puccini´s beautiful opera Madame Butterfly plays at Operaen in Jan and Feb

14

STAGE JAN 11-FEB 4

MADAME BUTTERFLY

Puccini’s beautiful opera about hope and crushed dreams. A young Japanese girl meets an American naval officer, she with a dream of American freedom and he with a longing for the exotic East. But is it really love or the perfect example of the attraction of opposites? Madama Butterfly is a story about culture clash and crushed dreams set to Puccini’s exquisite music.

When working on the opera, composer Puccini studied Japanese music and culture to create an authentic reflection of a country he had never visited. Yet this is a distinctly Italian opera with long lines and beautiful melodies.

OSLO YOGAFESTIVAL

Through yoga we can have more contact with ourselves and with the nature around us. Our body is part of nature. As we direct our attention inward and know the body, we become more conscious of the cyclical in ourselves and in nature. Yoga can also be a way to learn about nature and gain more respect for nature, in the forms of the environment, other people and animals. At Oslo Yoga Festival 2020, teachers touch on the themes of yoga and nature in different ways. The profits from Oslo Yoga Festival are donated to the aid organization Forut and their partner APSA in India. They build and run schools for children and young people who have been abused, trafficked, have had substance abuse problems or come from families with substance abuse problems.

ARE YOU IN OR ARE YOU OUT?

GET ON BOARD THIS WINTER

Should you get outside and embrace the glorious winter weather, or warm up inside? Find out as indoor and outdoor activities go head to head in this handy activity guide!

TARJEI KIDD OLSEN

OUTDOOR: ALPINE SKIING & SNOWBOARDING Oslo Winter Park Tryvann is located only 30 minutes from the city centre.

A powerful snow-making system helps keep the alpine slopes open from early December until Easter, even when it doesn’t snow much. There is also an international standard half-pipe for snowboarders, as well as a terrain park with moguls and jumps. Floodlighting allows skiing until 10 pm. The ski centre has 18 slopes and 11 lifts and a special area for children and beginners.

INDOOR: MUSEUMS Oslo has lots and lots of museums focusing on everything from Norway’s dramatic Viking history to famous painters.

Take a look at our Museum List in this issue to get an updated overview of museum activities and exhibitions in January and February.

22

OUTDOOR: CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING “Oslomarka” is the local name of the forests around part of Oslo. Although most of the forest has some wonderful ski trails, its northern part, called “Nordmarka”, is the most heavily used and accessible for many people in the city.

Oslomarka covers a whopping 1700 square kilometres, and offers great opportunities for recreation and exploration year round.

During the winter Skiforeningen (Oslo's ski association) prepares 1200 km of red-marked ski trails in Oslomarka and adjoining forests, and some of them are illuminated in the evening. It is also possible to stay for a night or have a break and a snack at many cozy, staffed and unstaffed forest huts run by DNT Oslo og Omegn, Skiforeningen and Bymiljøetaten.

The routes in Oslomarka are usually well-marked with signposts, but a map is recommended for longer distances. Oslo Visitor Centre has a free simple map of the area, while the best maps can be bought at the DNT-store in Storgata 3.

INDOOR: APRÈS-SKI Après-ski, usually called “afterski” in Norway, is the tradition of going for some more fun immediately after skiing or snowboarding. This usually takes the form of food, entertainment, drinks and partying at establishments near ski resorts, but with skiing and snowboarding possible just a few minutes ride from the city centre at places like Oslo Winter Park and the Oslo forests, entire Oslo is your après-ski!

Only your imagination sets the limits for possible locations for some high jinks after hitting the hills and trails of Oslo. One example is eccentric Lorry (Parkveien 12), a bar and eatery filled with antiques, stuffed animals, a huge beer selection and a great mix of people of different ages.

Beer Palace (Holmens gate 3) is located in the oldest building at Aker Brygge and their motto is that everyone likes beer, but not everyone has found a type they like yet. Finally, Pigalle (Grønlandsleiret 15) is a modern art deco bar with a unique cocktail menu where you can stay classy while warming up after the hills.

Afternoon skiing at Oslo Winter Park

OUTDOOR: ICE SKATING Don’t want to travel far? Ice skate in the middle of town! The Spikersuppa ice skating rink is located between the National Theatre and Parliament, and is open every day in winter 11am-21pm.

It’s outside and completely free to use, although you can rent ice skates for NOK 150 per day if you don’t have your own.

The rink is closed during ice preparation from approx. 13pm-14:30pm every day.

No pucks or sticks allowed.

INDOOR: KARAOKE Why stay outside and freeze when you can stroll into the hip karaoke bar Syng and yes, sing your heart out? Syng has two venues, at Arbeidersamfunnets plass 1 in the city centre and in Nedre gate 7 by the Akerselva river. These are are no worn down, dingy venues from the 1980s, but fresh and funky places that make karaoke cool. The Syng by the Akerselva river also offers sing-along cinema screenings (“Syng-along-kino”), and rooms can be booked for children’s karaoke parties and big groups.

24

OUTDOOR: TOBOGGANING Take the metro to the top of the Korketrekker’n toboggan run (by Holmenkollen station), from where you can hurtle 2 kilometres downhill in about 8-10 minutes.

When you reach the bottom of the run, you simply get on the metro again to reach the top! The toboggan run is located right next to the original bobsleigh run, built for the 1952 Olympic games. It is lit up in the evening, and don’t be surprised to find just as many grown-ups as kids there!

Bowling never gets old, and there are several great bowling halls around town.

Oslo’s most centrally placed bowling hall is the imaginatively titled Oslo Bar & Bowling (Torggata 16) has 12 bowling lanes, shuffle board, pool tables, 3 bars and an eatery with pizza and other tasty morsels. Solli Bowling (Henrik Ibsens gate 100) has 11 lanes and is on the floor below pizza restaurant Peppes pizza with the same entrance – making a pizza/ bowling combo night almost impossible to resist. Norway's biggest bowling hall, Lucky Bowl Veitvet, is near Veitvet metro station. It has no less than 26 lanes, a big restaurant that seats up to 100 people, and even a VIP room with private bowling lanes.

OSLO BY NIGHT

CITY CENTRE & KARL JOHANS GATE In the city centre you can move and shake to whatever is most popular at the moment.

The area also boasts several jazz and blues clubs.

GETTING STARTED: At Oslo’s oldest rock bar Last Train (Karl Johans gate 45), Norwegian and international bands perform on a regular basis. 34 Skybar (Sonja Henies plass 3), a bar on the 34th floor of Radisson Plaza Blu Hotel behind the Oslo City shopping centre, has large windows with an impressive panoramic view of the city and fjord. Jaeger (Grensen 9) is a popular club with electronic music and DJs most nights. Hip Izakaya (St. Olavs Gate 7) is a Japanese bar with authentic Japanese food and drinks, where enthusiastic bartenders wax lyrical about sake and shochu. Trendy Rouleur (Ullevålsveien 16A) combines bicycle tours and rentals with a bar and café, with a wine menu focused on underrated wine regions like Beaujolais and Muscadet and top-notch Scandinavian style coffee. The Dubliner (Rådhusgata 28) is a huge Irish pub and an Oslo classic that has lots of rooms, a backyard, a stage for live Irish folk music, big football screens, shuffle board and even a super cozy wood-panelled whiskey bar. And then there Is Himkok (Storgata 27), a very special bar that makes amazing drinks and cocktails with alcohol from its very own in-house distillery and where one of its bartenders was voted Norway's best bartender in an international competition in 2016.

GRÜNERLØKKA Just northeast of the city centre is Grünerløkka, with active music venues that make concerts an important part of the borough’s nightlife. Many of the area’s popular cafés turn into hot spots in the evening, and this is one of the most popular areas for partygoers in general and hipsters in particular.

GETTING STARTED: Fru Hagen (Thorvald Meyers gate 40) is a café in the daytime that turns into a hugely popular (and cramped) bar in the evenings. Around the corner, bar and concert stage Parkteatret (Olaf Ryes plass 11) is equally popular. Bar Boca (Thorvald Meyers gate 30) with its tasteful ‘50s/’60s interior has professional bartenders and great drinks, and Schouskjelleren Mikrobryggeri (Trondheimsveien 2) is an atmospheric basement

micro-brewery with a large selection of beers. Blå (Brenneriveien 9), one of the most popular clubs in Oslo, hosts concerts and DJ-nights, a legendary in-house band every Sunday and has riverside outdoor seating. Beside it is Ingensteds (Brenneriveien 9), a bar with a big room for concerts and events, and beside that again is Bortenfor (Brenneriveien 7), a coctail bar with seats by the river and a slightly more relaxed environment than Blå. Downriver a couple of minutes is Syng (Nedre gate 7), a trendy karaoke bar with colourful seats by the river. Bar Vulkan (Vulkan 9) is a slightly upmarket bar known for its tasty cocktails and (in summer) large roof terrace, while beside it Norway’s first food hall Mathallen (Vulkan 5) has a number of interesting bars.

GRØNLAND Grønland on the east side of town offers a refreshing blend of friendly and laid-back clubs with varied music offerings, as well as slightly ragged bars with some of the cheapest beer in town.

GETTING STARTED: Dattera til Hagen (Grønland 10) is a colourful bar and café with two floors and a big, charming backyard. Oslo Mekaniske Verksted (Tøyenbekken 34) is a big and cozy bar/ pub with a big fireplace, board games, comfy sofas - and a theatre in the same building. Caféteatret (Hollendergata 8) is a multicultural bar, concert and theatre stage that includes popular open stage nights, while Pigalle's (Grønlandsleiret 15) new owners have ditched 80s kitsch for a cool and elegant Bauhaus / 1920s art deco style cocktail bar and interior complete with ferns. If you like it super traditional and Oslo Mekaniske Verksted is too trendy for you despite the old factory interiors, then Asylet (Grønland 28) is a really old wooden house with a cozy cobble stone courtyard and a genuine traditional pub feel inside.

YOUNGSTORGET In the Youngstorget area in the northern city centre, you’ll find a good selection of places with a more alternative/rock-oriented music profile, as well as a couple of clubs devoted to electronic music.

GETTING STARTED: Kulturhuset (Youngs gate 6) covers a huge 2000 square metres with four floor and bars, concerts, a coffee bar and games like shuffle board.

55

Internasjonalen (Youngstorget 2A), in an Eastern European functional style, has classic cocktails, special brands of liqueur and beer, various music genres and an upstairs dance floor. The Villa (Møllergata 23-25) appeals to the electronic music crowd, with local and international DJs and genres such as house, techno and dub step. In the basement of the bar Revolver (Møllergata 32) young crowds (20 year age limit in basement, 23 upstairs) dance the night away to 80s pop, rock and disco.

Cafe Sør (Torggata 11) is another very popular place with nice drinks and great music, as well as the relatively low age limit of 20 (22 after midnight on weekends). Angst Bar (Torggata 11) is a bar in a passageway called Strøget which is hip, intimate, with great music and lots of art on the walls (also backyard parties during weekends). Andre Til Høyre (Youngsgate 19) is a cool 1920s style cocktail bar with vinyl records playing and an excellent second floor view of Youngstorget. Torggata Botaniske (Torggata 17b) is a green oasis inside in the middle of the city with lots of plants and excellent drinks, a great place to chill out in the jungle. At the mainly outdoor Prindsen Hage (Storgata 36) there’s a sandbox and many garden games for the children, table tennis and boules courts for the grown-ups, pop-up eateries – and of course drinks.

BJØRVIKA & SØRENGA Bjørvika and Sørenga, two newly developed seaside districts near the Opera House, are very scenically placed and have some quality places for grabbing a drink.

GETTING STARTED: Vesper Gastrobar (Dronning Eufemias gate 32) has made a name for itself with super tasty drinks and gourmet pub food. Bun's Burger Bar (Sørengkaia 71) has almost 100 types of beer, live music on the first Friday of every month, and of course great burgers.

You can also enjoy Italian food or just a few drinks at Cargo Restaurant & Bar (Sørengkaia 99).

AKER BRYGGE & TJUVHOLMEN Along the waterfront at Aker Brygge and Tjuvholmen you will meet tourists, business people, everyday locals and the wealthy. This is a great place to go for relatively upmarket food, pubbing and clubbing, and a summer

56

drink at one of the slick waterfront bars with beautiful views of the ocean.

GETTING STARTED: BAR Tjuvholmen (Bryggegangen 6) is a stylish and popular bar and restaurant on the waterfront in Oslo’s newest completed neighbourhood, and a great place for cocktails. Drink in style in Tjuvholmen’s only hotel bar at designer hotel The Thief (Landgangen 1).

The big wine and cocktail lounge Vérité (Grundingen 1-3) has a high-end metropolitan feel that's still unusual in Norway as well as their own sommeliers (wine stewards) that can help you choose the perfect wine. Beer Palace (Holmens gate 3) is located in the oldest building at Aker Brygge, and their motto is that everyone likes beer, but not everyone has found a type they like yet.

FROGNER & MAJORSTUA The Frogner and Majorstua areas in western Oslo have a long standing as places for those who like upmarket partying. Drinks are pricier, the dress code stricter, and the see and be seen factor is higher. Guys in suits and girls in glittering dresses are not an uncommon sight GETTING STARTED: Enjoy sparkling wines and tapas at Champagneria (Frognerveien 2) or shake it on the dance floor at popular Skaugum (Solligaten 2) bar and (at weekends) club. Trendy club VU (Hegdehaugsveien 24) has a courtyard, bar, lounge, dance floor and chambre séparée, while Mabou (Hegdehaugsveien 28) is cramped, intense and flirty. Monkey Bar Oslo (Henrik Ibsens gate 60A), Nox (Henrik Ibsens gate 100) and Soliis Bar & Lounge (Henrik Ibsens gate 90) are popular nightspots on and near Solli Plass. If you’re not planning to dress to impress, Lorry (Parkveien 12) is a two floor classic where young and old rub shoulders in cozy, eccentric and spacious surroundings, while Oslo Mikrobryggeri (Bogstadveien 6) has its own microbrewery (the first new brewery in Norway in almost 100 years when It was founded in 1989), and super tasty – you guessed it – beer. 

Oslo on a

Budget

It’s perfectly possible to visit or live in Oslo on a relatively low budget with a bit of planning! Here are some tips on how to spend wisely and still have a good time.

TEXT: TARJEI KIDD OLSEN

CHEAP ACTIVITIES:

The Oslo Pass gives you free entry to more than 30 museums and attractions, free travel on all public transport, free parking in municipal car parks, free entry to outdoor swimming pools, free walking tours, as well as discounts on sightseeing, ski simulator, Tusenfryd Amusement Park, concert tickets, climbing, ski and bike rental, and special offers in restaurants, shops, entertainment and leisure venues.

More information: www.visitoslo.com/en/ activities-and-attractions/oslo-pass

the most popular part of the forest around Oslo - with endless possibilities for walks, trekking, biking, skiing and swimming, and with cozy cafes hidden among the trees.

FREE ACTIVITIES:

Rema 1000, Kiwi, Rimi and Bunnpris are among the cheapest supermarkets, and can be found around town. Meny is a more expensive supermarket with a larger selection of more fancy food. Various other supermarkets are also available.

You can walk on the roof of the Norwegian Opera and Ballet, situated by – and literally sloping into – the sea near the central station, enjoying amazing views of the city, fjord and surrounding hills and islands.

EATING OUT:

Take a long walk and enjoy waterfalls, parks, bridges, swimming spots, historical buildings, bars, cafes, museums and cultural centres along Oslo’s urban river Akerselva, which snakes its way down from the lake Mariadalsvannet by the forest edge to Grønland in the city centre.

Examples are Tøyengata Bodega in Heimdalsgata 37, Café Sara in Hausmanns gate 29, Fiskeriet Youngstorget at Youngstorget 2, Viet Nam House in Bernt Ankers gate 6B, L’oasis Mazze in Trondheimsveien 14A, as well as Tasty Thai in Thereses gate 51 and Nippon Sushi in Sørkedalsveien 5.

The Vigeland Sculpture Park inside the beautiful Frogner Park near Majorstua boasts 212 impressive bronze and granite sculptures designed by Gustav Vigeland.

The Holmenkollen Ski Jump at Holmenkollen in the hills above Oslo is one of the capital’s most famous landmarks, hosts many winter sporting activities, and the area has great views. There is a ski museum inside the ski jump and an observation deck on top (free with Oslo Pass).

The Holmenkollen area (especially from Frognerseteren and Tryvann) is also a great starting point for trips into Nordmarka,

60

Another good starting point for trips into Nordmarka is the forest lake Sognsvann.

Both Sognsvann and Holmenkollen are accessible by metro (free with Oslo Pass).

FOOD & DRINK SUPERMARKETS:

While restaurants can be quite expensive, a good tip is to check out cheaper eateries for instance at Grønland, Grünerløkka and Sofienberg on the east side of town - although there are cheap places on the west side too.

BEER: Norway’s high alcohol prices are no big secret, but there are large savings to be had on beer if you know where to go. As with food, many of the cheap places are on Oslo’s east side. Among the very cheapest places are Rett Inn Bar in Storgata 39, Samfunnet Bislet in Pilestredet 52 and Destiny café in Skippergata 26.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IN OSLO RUTER’S CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTRE

The centre also sells public transport tickets. In addition there is a popular Ruter website with price Information and searchable timetables: www.ruter.no Address: Jernbanetorget 1.
