Nightlife in Oslo - Capital Cool!

Oslo's nightlife is anything but boring. There are countless bars, cafés and nightclubs to choose from and the atmosphere is friendly and inviting. Oslo's party animals quickly pick up new trends or make their own, and the places to go, to see and be seen, change from one week to the next.

Many live DJ's from all over the world help keep the action and mood going in the city's bars and nightclubs, and there are also a large number of places that offer live concerts, especially on weekends. Oslo also has a very reputable jazz scene.

Most bars and nightclubs in the centreare open until around 3 am. Many cafés and bars that serve food during the day, transform their image around nine-ten at night. They become more of a nightclub, serving drinks and have DJ's playing music, making it difficult to distinguish bars, cafés, pubs and restaurants from each other.

It's important to note that while everyone may enter during daytime, the same place may practice age limits of 18, 20 or 25 at night. Also, in some places, you have to pay a cover-charge in the evenings, especially on weekends.

All restaurants, bars and nightclubs in Norway are smoke-free indoors, but many have outdoor tables during summer, and in the winter many places have outdoor heaters and some kind of protection from the cold weather for smokers.
