    Oslo neighborhood guide: St. Hanshaugen (and Bislett)
    Jun 13 2026

    It's time for a neighborhood that holds a dear place in our hearts: St. Hanshaugen, where we first kindled our friendship! This former rocky, uninhabited trash heap is now a gorgeous and thriving place to live, and we've got mostly positive things to say. Plus, a bit about Bislett.

    On the news: why are doctors getting paid to keep us at work? Which street was flooded with sewage? And, a personal news announcement! 👀

    Is it Majorstuen or Majorstua? And what does Frogner actually mean? Two of Oslo's posher neighborhoods get their day in the sun--but did we let them off easy?

    Oslo neighborhood guide: Sentrum

    Can Sentrum even be called a neighborhood? According to the city, no! And we concur, because it's got very little going for it. But why is that? And who lives there besides rats?

    We've also got news about an alcohol robbery and a pollen warning.

    Stay tuned for our ongoing neighborhood rankings!
