Fodor's Review:

This area was the site of a disused shipbuilding yard until redevelopment saw the addition of residential town houses and a commercial sector. Postmodern steel and glass buildings dominate the skyline now. The area has more than 40 restaurants and 60 shops, including upmarket fashion boutiques, as well as pubs, cinemas, theaters, and an indoor shopping mall. There is outdoor dining capacity of 2,500 as well as an open boulevard for strolling. Service facilities include banks, drugstores, and a parking lot for 1,600.

  • Cost: Free
  • Open: Shopping hrs weekdays 10-8, Sat. 10-6

I don't get the attraction of this redevelopment. There seems to have been no attempt to achieve any harmony amongst the old and new; nor does the new stand out in an attractive way. It may be a functional development of housing, offices, stores, and restaurants, but there are places in Oslo with much more character with just as great views.
