Scenic viewpoints and photo spots
Views that come with a proper walk: St. Hanshaugen with coffee, Ekeberg through the sculpture forest, and the line 1 climb toward Frognerseteren.
Editor's Notes
N° 01

A dragon-style timber lodge from 1891 at the top of metro line 1 — apple cake with a view over the whole fjord, ski tracks outside the door, and the Korketrekkeren toboggan run just below.

A long green valley rolling downhill from Torshov with a clear line of sight to the fjord — locals' pick for sledding in winter and long evening picnics in June.

The hilltop park the neighborhood is named after — winding paths, a pond, and one of the best free views of the city from the pavilion at the top. Bring coffee from Ullevålsveien below.
