 Ecological animal farm for kids |
Skedsmogata 23 Oslo 0655 Norway +47 22 19 7071 http://www.koebb.no/ |
A horse, a goat, rabbits, ducks, chickens and pigs are among the numerous animals that live here. An ecological farm for children, Kampen Barnebondegård is a place where urban kids learn to take care of animals and grow food. After a visit here your children will definitely know where the milk comes from (not the carton). There is also an ecological herbal garden and a vegetable garden. The main attraction for many Norwegian children is Hulda the pig, known from children's television. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 1874 cemetery |
Ekebergveien 2-8 Oslo 0192 Norway http://www.gravferdsetaten.osl... |
If you consider walking around looking at gravestones a pleasant way of spending your time, this cemetery is highly recommended. The sound of cars and trains is muffled, dampened by the trees and greenery. The churchyard was originally consecrated in 1874. Some parts of it are much newer than others. This cemetery has been expanded and reduced in size many times. While you are in the area take a look at the medieval ruins or take a walk up to the Ekeberg restaurant from where you can enjoy a magnificent view of Oslo. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Idyllic old wooden houses |
Bogata and Toyengt Oslo 0654 Norway |
Located not far from the Munch Museum and the Botanical Gardens, the area of Kampen is full of idyllic, old wooden houses on narrow streets. Being there feels like walking in a children's book. In this area, you should see the church, walk around in the area in general, and maybe end up at the local cafe, Kafe Kampen. Oslo's water reservoir used to be where Kampen Park is now located, a great place for children to play in freely with sculptures and fountains, and a beautiful view of Oslo. Bus 60 will take you there from the centre. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Visit Medieval Oslo |
St. Hallvards plass Oslo gate 13 Oslo 0192 Norway +47 22 19 4468 |
The Medieval part of Oslo, right at the foot of Ekeberg hill, was neglected for decades, with main traffic arteries cutting through this exciting part of town. The whole area is now being completely upgraded and restored, and has centre for Medieval studies. Oslo Manor House, dating from 1720, presents an opportunity to see interiors, furniture and paintings from different periods. In the attic there are several models of Oslo in the Middle Ages, and also a light and sound show on the burial rites of that period. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Work and football |
Hjaltlandsgata 3 Oslo 0658 Norway |
Vålerenga Church is a beautiful late nineteenth-century brick building surrounded by a small park. It was built in Neo-Gothic style like so many other churches in Oslo, but owes its fame neither to brilliant architecture nor the beautiful setting. This east end church is a decent "working church" in the spirit of the 1970s, where what counts is religion playing an active part in everyday life - and where the walls will not tumble from a little swearing. For this reason, the local football team supporters, widely recognised as the best fan club in Norway, are allowed to hold court inside the building, and the congregation frequently looks beyond the straight and narrow path to find a preacher for the Sunday sermon. For instance, a prominent capitalist may deliver a sermon on greed with first-hand knowledge of the subject rather than by the vicar. The latter, himself an Oslo celebrity and convert to Vålerenga FC, is rumoured to include the team in his prayers when they are up the creek (and he has probably had his hands full lately).
