A little outside of the city centre of Oslo, Grünerløkka has come a long way from being a poor workers area and is now a trendy neighbourhood. Perfect for a stroll, shopping or visiting one of the many bars or restaurants.
Named after Friedrich Grüner who bought a mill here from king Christian V of Denmark, Grünerløkka was a separate town until mid-19th century when it became part of Oslo. In the same century, it turned into a working class area. Workers would find a job in one of the factories on the river Akerselva which runs North-South and separates Grünerløkka from downtown Oslo. Not too long ago, the area was run-down, but it has had a face lift.
