City view from Calmeyers Hage
When you have finished your pizza and wine at Teatro or drinks at Pier 42, you’re ready for a bit more excitement, right?

Dance until the sun goes up in Strøget-passasjen
Strøget is a small alley between Torggata and Storgata right in the city centre. As soon as you enter the alley, it reveals itself as some kind of nightlife Mecca. This is where you should bring your colleagues after a couple of drinks and when you’re ready to hit the dance floor! Choose between fun and trendy clubs like Angst, Uhørt and Karusell – but expect to stand in line for a little while. Most joints around Strøget are open until 3:00 am.
Enjoy great conversations at Himkok
If Strøget gets too busy you can continue on to Himkok, only a couple of metres away. This club is a must if you are in Oslo! Here are both pumping dancefloor, covered al-fresco areas and even a barber shop if you feel like you need a grooming when you’re out and about!
