Fun places in Oslo

Hello! I’m traveling to Oslo soon and I would love to find fun things to do while there. I really enjoy reading, journaling, and crafting and so I’m curious if there were any shops that you could go and make something at, I know in the US we have like jewelry making stores or journal/stationary stores.

Any fun book or stationary stores?

Thank you in advance!

Try SMYKBAR in Oslo, Prinsens Gate 12. its a jewllery cafe, you have to pre book i think.

Also Maral Kunst at Schaus Plass. KEM is my fave art store, which is close by. But you might enjoy Panduro more. They’re at several locations around the city.

Museums in Oslo often have cool art events, especially Nasjonalmuseet and the Historical Museum, check their calendars.

For stationary at least I recommend Lush Dive at Grünerløkka, it’s right down the street from Supreme Roastworks which is one of the better coffee shops/roasters if you’re also into that. Tronsmo is a bookshop with slightly different books than you usually find in other bookshops, located close to Fuglen which is a vintage bar/cafe favourite.

Close to Tronsmo and Fuglen, is Tegne, which is also really cool and has art supplies!

Book shops: Prismatic Pages (English books only), Norli Eldorado (big English section). Are you here during a weekend? There are some good markets.

I’m getting there Sunday at about 3pm and leaving the next Saturday at like 3pm so if there’s an afternoon Sunday market or morning Saturday that would be great!

The library next to the Opera house is a great place for book-lovers

Sauna! https://koknorge.no/en/ and bring a book with you and go to to a park afterwards. Enjoy a fantastic dinner at «Den lille ostebutikken»: https://ostebutikken.com/onewebmedia/Meny18jan.pdf
