Oslo Microbrewery


Own brewery
Bogstadveien 6
Oslo 0355
Norway
+47 22 56 9776
http://www.mikrobryggeriet.no
At a first glance, Oslo Mikrobryggeri seems a very regular pub, with all the regular stuff, brown tables, chairs, the compulsory brass corners, some pictures and people of different ages having a good time. The micro brewery's own beer is produced in its tiny brewery in the cellar, and the quality is very good. Be aware that the level of alcohol is a bit more aggressive in this than in most other Norwegian beers. Oslo Mikrobryggeri is not located on Bogstadveien as its address states, but on one of its side streets. It is easy to find once you are aware of this.

Sporveismuseet


Historical and modern trams and buses
Gardeveien 15
Oslo 0304
Norway
+47 22 60 9409
http://www.sporveismuseet.org/
Buses, trams and railway carriages take you through the transport history of Oslo. Inside the old workshop (which is not heated in winter), over 35 vehicles are exhibited. Most of them can be entered, but don't expect to be taken home! There is also a permanent exhibition of old and interesting pictures.

St. Hanshaugen Park


Quiet, green space in the middle of the city
St. Hanshaugen
Oslo 0456
Norway
One of the quietest green spaces in the city, this park is situated on a hill, with paths flanked by leafy old trees. St. Hanshaugen lies between Ullevålsveien, Collettsgate and Geitmyrsveien. Climb to the top of the park, and you can enjoy refreshments at the outdoor café. Various kinds of entertainment are offered during the summer season. A little stream runs through the park, with a small pond at one end. Buses 21 and 37 run past the park.

StensParken


Park and panorama
Pilestredet,/Sporveisgaten
Oslo 0354
Norway
Another beautiful park inside central Oslo, this park has had many names. Stensparken comes from old Sten or Stein farm, closed down in the 1600s. On the north side of Stensparken is Blåsten, a small, natural environment and a paradise for adventurous children. Stensparken offers the usual pleasures of a park: a lovely place for having a picnic or for sunbathing on warm summer days. In the neighbourhood there are two streets with lots of very charming, mostly wooden buildings, bigger and more "castle-like" than those at Kampen, Rodeløkka or Damstredet (some other streets with old houses in Oslo). Look for Lyder Sagens gate and Aage Wolffs gate. Fagerborg Church is inside the park, close to a sculpture of famous Norwegian writer Sigrid Undset.
