Akerselva or Akerselven (English: Aker River) is a river which flows through Oslo. It starts at Maridalsvannet in Oslomarka, and follows the urban areas Nordre Aker, Sagene, Grünerløkka, Oslo centre and Grønland, whereby it finally ends at Paulsenkaien and Oset in Bjørvika. The river is considered to be a part of the Nordmarkvassdraget, and has the watercourse number 006.Z. The entire river is about 8.2 kilometres (5.1 mi) long, and has a difference in elevation between source and mouth of approximately 149 metres (489 ft).
Earlier, the river gave power to numerous industry companies in Oslo.
Akerselven is "Oslo’s green lung”; many parks and nature trails are to be found by its path, from Grønland to Maridalsvannet. A walk from along Akerselven from the rural Frysja down through the different parts of Oslo all the way down to the city centre is an amazing experience and a walk through the history of Oslo. Salmon run and spawn in the upper part of the river.
Aker River in the 1970s was heavily contaminated after 150 years of industrial and sewage discharges along river. In the 1980s, a local initiative to limit emissions and revive the flora and fauna of the river began.
Oslo (English pronunciation: /ˈɒzloʊ/, OZ-loh,Norwegian pronunciation: [ˈuʂˈlu] ( listen) or, rarer [ˈusˈlu] or [ˈuʂlu]) is the capital and the most populous city in Norway.
Oslo constitutes both a county and a municipality. Founded in the year 1040, and established as a "kaupstad" or trading place in 1048 by King Harald III, the city was elevated to a bishopric in 1070 and a capital under Haakon V around 1300. Personal unions with Denmark from 1397 to 1523 and again from 1536 to 1814 and with Sweden from 1814 to 1905 reduced its influence. After being destroyed by a fire in 1624, the city was moved closer to Akershus Fortress during the reign of King Christian IV and renamed Christiania in his honour. It was established as a municipality (formannskapsdistrikt) on 1 January 1838. Following a spelling reform, it was known as Kristiania from 1877 to 1925, at which time its original Norwegian name was restored.
Oslo is the economic and governmental centre of Norway. The city is also a hub of Norwegian trade, banking, industry and shipping. It is an important centre for maritime industries and maritime trade in Europe. The city is home to many companies within the maritime sector, some of which are among the world's largest shipping companies, shipbrokers and maritime insurance brokers. Oslo is a pilot city of the Council of Europe and the European Commission intercultural cities programme.
Off the beaten path, but right at the center of Oslo is the river that divides Oslo into east and west. Akerselva starts at Maridalsvannet lake in the north of Oslo, and discharges into the Oslo Fjord, right behind the Oslo Opera. Despite being a much used green area by Oslo locals, not many tourists find their way to Akerselva. The area around the lowest parts of Akerselva is called Vaterland, and is right behind of Oslo Central Station. The Vaterland area isn’t particularly nice as there are some shady characters hanging around there, but it’s safe to walk there at daytime. Above Vaterland the river passes to the west of Grünerløkka. Around the two bridges Nybrua and Ankerbrua, there are a number of cafes, bars and restaurants. There are also some interesting houses along the river, li...

Hønse-Lovisas hus; har fått sitt navn etter en skikkelse i Oskar Braatens skuespill "Ungen" fra 1911. Hønse-Lovisa er en modig og generøs kvinne som tar seg av barna til jentene som arbeidet på fabrikkene langs elva. Huset ble sansynligvis satt opp som sagmesterbolig omkring 1800. I dag drives stedet som en liten kulturkafé hvor historie møter diktning og samtidskunst. Her treffes folk på tvers av alder, kultur og fagskiller, - så stikker du innom, serverer vi nykvernet kaffe og varme vafler mens du kanskje ser en utstilling, besøker vår lille butikk eller lese poesi som sverver i vinden. Både et japansk TV-team og det franske magasinet "Elle a`tables" valgte Hønse-Lovisas hus når de skulle presentere turistbyen Oslo.

Grünerløkka is one of the most interesting neighborhoods in Oslo, a hipster paradise a 10 minute walk from Central Station. Surprisingly few tourists visit Grünerløkka, and that's really a pity. Some of the nicest cafes and bars in Oslo are located in Grünerløkka, and it's a foodies paradise. The main street of Grünerløkka is Thorvald Meyers gate. Thorvald Meyers gate starts where Ankerbrua brigde crosses Akerselva river, and ends at Birkelunden park in the north. Tram lines 11, 12 and 13 have three stops along Thorvald Meyers gate. From south to north: Schous plass Olaf Ryes plass Birkelunden Most of the shops, bars, restaurants and cafes on Grünerløkka are located around the Birkelunden and Olaf Ryes plass parks, and in the segment of Thorvald Meyers gate that is connecting them. The...

This neighborhood is located to the northwest of downtown Oslo. It is one of nicest and most expensive places to live in Oslo, many Norwegian celebrities live here.

1.2 km of designer shops, chain stores, pubs, restaurants, cafes, and lots more. This west side street is one of the most well known in Norway. It is known as a high-end shopping street, but there are also the usual chain stores, and some unique little gems. The lower part of the street is named Hedgehaugveien, but it changes name to Bogstadveien after a few blocks. The whole street is commonly referred to just as Bogstadveien. Although Bogstadveien (Hedgehaugveien) begins at the northeast corner of the park that surrounds the Royal Palace, surprisingly few tourists visit Bogstadveien. That makes it a great alternative to Karl Johans gate, which is alright, but let's face it, it's mainly for the tourists. There are too many shops and venues to list in this description, but most of them a...
