Oslo Gay Bars

Similar to Stockholm, as Oslo is such a gay-friendly place, many LGBTQ+ people hang out in the wide range of mixed bars in the city. That's not to say there aren't any gay bars and gay clubs, you'll find them conveniently located in the city centre.

Tours & Experiences in Oslo

Oslo combines big-city culture with nature almost suspiciously well. Visit the MUNCH museum, wander through Vigeland Sculpture Park or cruise the Oslofjord, then head back into the centre for dinner and drinks without ever feeling like you’ve spent the day rushing around.

Gay friendly hotels in Oslo

Oslo doesn’t have one tightly defined gay village, but most of its LGBTQ+ nightlife is conveniently located in or close to the city centre. Staying in Sentrum therefore works particularly well, putting the bars, waterfront, museums and main transport links within easy reach. Neighbourhoods such as Grünerløkka offer a more local, creative feel while remaining close to the action. GayMapper’s hotel recommendations cover welcoming LGBTQ+ friendly options across different budgets, from simple central stays to some seriously stylish Scandinavian luxury.
