Grünerløkka is THE Oslo neighborhood where creativity meets charm. Once a working-class district, it’s now a vibrant hub filled with indie boutiques, cozy cafés, street art, great bars and restaurants. Stroll along the Akerselva River, browse vintage shops, or relax in one of the leafy parks. Whether you’re into shopping, food, or people-watching, Grünerløkka offers an authentic slice of local life. No fuss, just good vibes!
WARNING: Don not use ATMs (minibanks) from EuroNet! These ATMs are designed to rip off tourists with up to 16% fee. Norwegian Consumer Council is working hard to remove these machines. They are for the most part placed outside, in shop windows. Remember: Cash is not necessary in Norway. We all use digital payments, and it is safe to use debet/credit cards here. That also includes tipping.

We are a non-profit organization that supports the arts, culture and business in the local community of Grünerløkka, Oslo. This old working class neighborhood is vulnerable for gentrification processes, so we choose to take action to create growth within the traditional boundries of this beautiful and popular part of Oslo.
The application of technology and digital competence is important to add value and competitiveness for small local businesses and retail- and service startups, as well as the culture and art sector. Equally important is to preserve the unique traditional values of the area, and support the diversity of people who lives here.
We work with placemakers, engaging the community and the municipality in the process of creating more places for people to meet and grow. We build on what already works, and change what doesn’t. Engaging private, public and social sectors in creating a thriving city community for the future.
