Local tip
Go for a coffee at Ila Brainnstasjon – This cosy, artsy café in the Ila neighbourhood is a local favourite but often missed by tourists. It’s tucked away in a residential area and feels more like someone’s quirky living room than a café. They host small concerts, poetry readings, and have a piano and vintage furniture.
