Aker Brygge:
Most popular and touristic place for drinks and food. By the seaside just in the western front of the city hall (R�dhuset). Highest prices in town, still great and always packed with people on a sunny day!
- Karls Johans gate: The Rambla of Oslo. Check it out, any time!
- Gr�nerl�kka: Oslo's answer to The Greenwich
Village, SOHO in New York. Take the trams no. 11, 12 or 13 to Olaf Ryes
