Queer Section

Oslo is a capital of diversity and acceptance. Gays, heterosexuals and lesbians are all part of the street scene. In Oslo you can move freely and hold hands with whomever you want. Here we provide you with information about LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) places in Oslo.   

Bar/Café
There aren’t many bars and nightclubs for the queer clientele in Oslo. Almost every year a new bar opens, just to close after a few months. It can seem like the capital isn’t big enough for more than a couple of places. But there are a few existing gay bars and nightclubs, and we’ve singled out the stayers.
