Architectural
contrasts at Kampen
Between the scaffolding and the busy elevator cranes,
Oslo's face is constantly changing. But despite the city having
become a capital of contemporary architecture, Oslo-born
Jomi wants to show you a different part of the city. “If you
want to experience the authentic Oslo and get an insight
into the city’s soul, you should explore the different districts.
Their history, cosmopolitan nature and contrasting
architectural qualities make them all worth a visit.”
Kampen is a centrally located area where the architecture
still consists predominantly of wooden houses from the 19th
century. “It’s an area whose great cultural and historical value
has been preserved, which is unique for a big city in the
European context. Areas like this are small oases of charm,
and in many ways, it’s a tiny village of its own.” Take a Sunday
stroll and explore Norwegian domestic animals at the local
organic farm. Walk to the top of Kampen Park to get a view
over the city. Sit down on the church steps with a coffee in hand
while you observe the locals and enjoy their leisurely pace.
