EXCELLENT, WINTER IS HERE! Welcome to What’s On Oslo in November and December, icy winter months that end with warm celebrations of Christmas and the new year ahead.

November and December are part of the high season for indoor cultural events, with the cultural calendar of Oslo filled to the brim with great activities. This is the perfect time to explore some of the countless events and exhibitions that Oslo has on offer, in between chilly-butfresh walks around town.

This issue’s Highlights feature is a great start, with previews of two inspiring Christmas concerts.

In addition our huge Event Calendar guide to concerts, family activities and much more, official Museum List with a detailed overview of Oslo’s fantastic exhibitions, and handy guides to restaurants, nightlife and shopping, mean you don’t need to have a dull indoor moment.

Of course December isn’t just any month. For countless people it is the month of holidays, family, Christmas

04

markets and non-stop coziness.

Whether you celebrate Christmas as a Christian holiday, as simply a treasured tradition, or don’t celebrate at all, there is something special about December.

It’s not just Christmas, which means holidays, and for many kids Santa Claus, packets under the Christmas tree, and general wonderment. This is also the final month of the year, rounded off in Oslo with a bang, or rather many bangs, as fireworks celebrate the coming year.

In keeping with the Christmas spirit we have therefore put together a detailed guide to two of our favourite activities this time of year: Christmas markets and concerts!

After all, not much can beat browsing stalls with traditional handicrafts while sipping on some mulled wine (Norwegian: gløgg), as a choir sings traditional Christmas songs in the background and the kids are kept occupied riding a horse and cart.

Enjoy! Team What’s On Oslo

CONCERTS NOV 1

P.O.D. / ALIEN ANT FARM / DEAD GIRLS ACADEMY

Concert with nu-metal bands P.O.D and Alien Ant Farm! P.O.D. has released more than ten albums, selling more than 12 million copies. The band has also been nominated for the Grammys three times.

Alien Ant Farm has also been in the game for a long time. The band has released five studio albums which has sold more than five million copies world-wide.

BOMBINO

Photo: Bilge Oner

It is no exaggeration to say that Omara “Bombino� Moctar, ranks among the most important guitarists in the world today.

On the contrary - the influence from the desert blues of Bombino, along with the Tuareg legends in Tinariwen, is rapidly expanding in todays guitar based music.

His style - lightning quick, elastic and deeply musical - is simply too infectious not to borrow from.

Location: Cosmopolite, Vogts gate 64 More details: www.cosmopolite.no

2 NOV, 20:00

TINARIWEN

In spite of the fact that Tinariwen has only played at Oslo World once before, it is still a band that feels deeply connected to the spirit of the festival. That has obviously something to do with the rich musical heritage they represent, and the way they have been at the vanguard of the desert blues genre, making meetings between tuareg and rock music a well known part of the musical landscape. Their international breakthrough, which occurred about twenty years ago, changed modern rock music, its vocabulary and sound.

Location: Cosmopolite More details: www.cosmopolite.no

2 NOV, 20:00

TURBONEGRO

The legendary Norwegian rock band Turbonegro held its first concert 30 years ago. The band did not follow conventional ways to fame in the years following their debut, but through following mystic detours, touring the world and releasing multiple albums, the band is now standing on a rock solid foundation as one of the biggest, most important Norwegian rock bands. With an inexhaustible repertoire of antagonistic, and seemingly incompatible properties, Turbonegro has been an important part of the times. Throughout their career they have stayed true to themselves, and reprocessed their own sound as a consequence of that fact.

This concert is a part of the yearly Turbojugend festival Oslo Bloodbath.

Location: Rockefeller, Torggata 16 More details: www.rockefeller.no

3 NOV, 19:00

MAGMA

Magma arrives at Cosmopolite on November 3 - a date that all Norwegian prog and art rock fans may notice first. The band has its own cosmology and a unique vision of humanity's spiritual and ecological future. From the very beginning, Magma has been through original bands, where Christian Vander even invented his own language for the songs. The music is beautiful, dynamic, mysterious and pompous about each other, full of strong moods and hypnotic layers of themes.

7 NOV, 20:00

It has been 25 years since Heather Nova released her break through record Oyster. Now a new album is right around the corner, an album that threatens to overshadow Oyster completely as the fans all-time favourite. Pearl comes out in May. Nova has released ten studio albums total, all praised by critics. She has played the biggest European festivals, in addition to intimate and acoustic shows in churches and opera houses. Her music has been used in big TV-shows and Hollywood movies. The new album contains love songs full of passion and a renewed joy of life, but also songs about her recent divorce.

Location: Parkteatret, Olaf Ryes plass 11 More details: www.parkteatret.no

Introducing one of the greatest jazz singers of our time - who repeatedly seduces the audience with their spectacular performances! It is for good reason that we are once again inviting Stacey Kent back to Cosmopolite - every time we have a fantastic concert experience, and the Oslo audience loves her! Kent is one of the greatest jazz singers of our time and will present new repertoire as well as old favorites.

BEYOND THE BLACK

Don’t miss out on Beyond The Black’s first ever headlining show in Norway.

Beyond The Black was founded in Mannheim, Germany in 2014 by vocalist Jennifer Haben. Their debut album Songs of Love and Death was released the following year. The German metal band has released two more albums, the last one being Heart of the Hurricane, which came out in the autumn of 2018.

Location: John DEE, Torggata 16, entr. Hammersborggata More details: www.rockefeller.no

8 NOV, 21:00

JUDITH HILL

GRAMMY-winning multi-instrumentalist Judith Hill quickly became famous for her important performance in the Oscarwinning documentary '20 Feet from Stardom 'and her participation in The Voice. Rolling Stone Magazine praised her in the clouds for her “stellar powerhouse vocals”, and Prince loved her so much he produced her debut album 'Back in Time' in 2015. In addition, she has made a great career of singing with famous stars such as Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson.

Judith Hill's talent for music comes from a very musical family, with her father and saxophonist Robert 'Pee Wee' Hill and her mother and pianist Michiko Hill. Both are well-known funk and jazz musicians in LA and have been playing together since the 70s. Now they groove to new heights with their daughter on tour.

Location: Cosmopolite, Vogts gate 64 More details: www.cosmopolite.no

9 NOV, 20:00

TRUCKFIGHTERS

VINTAGE & SECOND-HAND

FOOD & DELICACIES

ART & ANTIQUES

LUXURY & HIGH-END

UFF Second Hand (Prinsens gate 2) is a big vintage store with clothes, shoes and accessories from the last six decades.

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.

57

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

58

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

Located in the clock tower outside Oslo Central Station, the customer service centre provides information about public transport timetables, tickets and prices in Oslo and the surrounding area. 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.

Tel.: (from Oslo/Akershus): 177 Tel.: (from out of town): + 47 815 00 176

TICKETS

Oslo’s local buses, trams, ferries and the metro share a ticket system.

Single tickets can be purchased on busses, trams and ferries, but are cheaper if you buy them in advance. On the metro tickets must be purchased before entering the train. Tickets can be purchased from vending machines and ticket offices at the metro stations, at Oslo Visitor Centre, in kiosks including Narvesen, 7-Eleven and Deli de Luca, and at Ruter’s Service Centre at Jernbanetorget (in front of Oslo Central Station). Remember to activate your ticket when you start your trip.

Free travel on all public transport within zones 1 and 2 if you buy the Oslo Pass, which also gives free access to many museums and other attractions: ruter.no/en/buying-tickets/ticketsand-fares/oslo-pass/ If you have a smart phone, you can buy digital tickets using the "RuterBillett" app. Prices here are the same as when you buy a ticket in advance, i.e. cheaper than buying on-board your bus, tram or ferry. There is also a "RuterReise" app with searchable timetables, including live arrival time estimates.

DIAL 177 www.177.no

National phone number for public transportation services in Norway.

Wherever you are in Norway, you can dial 177 and ask your specific question related to public transportation. The 177 website also gives you links to regional public transport facilities.

TICKETS RECOMMENDED FOR TOURISTS

Single ticket for Zone 1, valid for 1 hour.

24-hour ticket for Zone 1.

7-day ticket for Zone 1.

TRAM

Oslo has six tram lines that run through the city from east to west. The route network primarily covers the inner city, but a couple of longer routes go out to the residential areas west, south and north of the city centre

METRO (T-BANE)

Oslo’s metro network is extensive, with six connected lines and frequent departures from early morning until late at night. All branch lines and the ring line come together in a major tunnel through the city centre, with stops at Nationaltheatret, Stortinget and Jernbanetorget (Oslo Central Station).

BUS

Buses supplement the metro and tram systems within the city boundaries.

Oslo’s city buses have a two-digit route number, and the converging point for most bus routes is Jernbanetorget outside Oslo Central Station.
