Grünerløkka is one of Oslo’s hippest areas, known for its street art, stylish bars, happening dance clubs and mellow cafes. Indie boutiques sell design items and vintage fashions, while weekend markets on neighborhood squares draw crowds for artisan eats, kitchenware, jewelry and bric-a-brac. Walking trails follow the Akerselva River, which is also flanked by small quirky parks and cool industrial concert venues.
