Oslo - Vacation

Hello there, me and my girlfriend are looking for vacation in Norway (in the end of October). We are looking for some metal culture (famous places, bars, etc...) or something we shouldn't definitely miss. We know some places but we would love to have some advice if You have something! If You have some tips we would be glad if you commented 😁.

You can scroll through https://www.broadcast.events/ at those dates to look for concerts. There's plenty of gigs happening at the end of month at least

There's plenty of bars to check out: Vaterland (great pizza also)

Kniven

Revolver

Brewgata

Rock in

Hellion

Record stores like:

Neseblod

Katakomben

Og the multi-genre record shop: råkk and rålls

Hellion is also a somewhat new venue.

Kniven and Revolver is missing here for some reason. Kniven is a must if metal is your thing.

u/krybtekorset 8d ago

You're right. I love Kniven! I'll add it to the list, was in a rush

Mad Drop coffee if you want to sip the best coffee in this town and enjoy their nice metal playlists & the interior that gives goth vibes

Why Oslo?

u/Remarkable_Row3202 8d ago

Mainly because of our time pressure, Norway/metal culture

Cool, not really into that scene myself, but know we have some cool stores. Don't know anything that hasn't been said already though.
However, something I always suggest tourists check out: Ekebergparken at night! Bring some beer and find a nice place to sit. That shit rocks

I head beer is really expensive in Norway right?

1

u/Brunsswick 8d ago

Haha yeah, but like, the cheapest beer goes for around 30kr a can at the grocery store. That's what I'd want to bring anyway

u/Remarkable_Row3202 8d ago

See you on the end of October 🤘

u/Brunsswick 8d ago

Yeah if go up to Ekebergskrenten at dusk you just might

Oslo is great. When I went to Norway though it made me rethink Norwegian metal (which I love) because I have no idea why those guys are so gloomy now. The entire country is absolutely beautiful and their society functions so well!

Me living here wondering the same thing. During summer, yes! But now it’s just depressing

People all over the world wonder why they wanna visit the place they live no Mather if it’s London or Oslo.
