3. Hidden Gem Oslo: The Thief Rooftop
This bar has one of Oslo’s best panoramic views. You can see the fjord and the city skyline. Good place to have a relaxed evening with a chilled bottle of wine or one of their delicious cocktails. It´s not a real dining spot but you can order some small dishes.

4. Hidden Gem Oslo: Fuglen Cafe
This Cafe, also called “The Bird,” is a more than 50 year-old coffee spot. You will find it right in the city center. The Scandinavian interior of the original shop from 1963 is still there. Most of the furniture is for sale, so it’s both a coffee shop and design shop in one. From Wednesday to Saturday you can also go there for a drink in the evening. What a nice concept!
