Ever heard about Edvard Munch? Last month, an original of his painting The Scream fetched $120m (£80m) at auction in New York. Read more about Munch and Oslo in The Independent, a rather good article about Oslo I think.
Oslo is like a second home town for me and I get a little bit annoyed of all the tourist traps which is always recommended. What about experiencing the true Oslo? Do the same stuff as people from Oslo would do to enjoy this city. So, here are what to do in Oslo to experience it like a true Oslo citizen:
--> take a walk along Sognsvann lake (maybe even go for a swim) and enjoy the fresh air right outside the city centre
--> go window shopping in Bogstadveien and eat huge and delicious French pastries at United Bakeries
--> have a glass of white wine out in the sun at Bølgen & Moi restaurant, known for their interaction of food, wine and art
--> end the day with slow dining at the Palace Grill. An intimate gourmet restaurant with big personality both in food and presentation. Reservation needed.
--> and of course enjoy a lacy day in one of the public parks in Grünerløkka. If you really want to feel like a Norwegian you will sit down in the park, drink your beer and just gaze at the people passing by. Then you for sure will feel the Oslo vibe.
