Plenty to Do on a Day Off – Here Are Some Tips!

Gallery Walk Take a stroll down our Kulturgata and explore the many galleries along the way. Entering from Stasjonsallmenningen, you’ll first come across Kösk, a gallery showcasing some of the best in contemporary Norwegian art. Continue on to QSPA – Queen Sonja’s own print award gallery – featuring a variety of exciting exhibitions. Around the next corner, you'll find VI, VII, another gallery presenting new exhibitions every month.

Shopping The street next to the galleries is home to a variety of charming shops offering something for everyone – men, women, and children alike. Who can say no to a little shopping spree? Find beautiful underwear or swimwear at Bjørvika Undertøy, and stylish clothing for him and her at Oxholm, Aspeli, Norwegian Rain & T Michael, and Holzweiler. Looking for something for the kids? Stop by Lillelam. And don’t forget to pick up a bouquet at Bjørvika Blomster.

Lunch in the Sun After a gallery tour and some shopping, you might be feeling a bit hungry. We recommend heading to one of our many local restaurants. If the weather’s nice, outdoor seating in the sun is absolutely lovely. Try Sumo, Kumi, Holzweiler Platz, Villa Paradiso, or explore other great options.

Time for Spa Finish off your day in the best way possible – with a relaxing treatment at DaiKai. Book a massage or another treatment that tempts you, and enjoy a peaceful end to your day in soothing surroundings.
