Alexander Kiellands plass

Lively park and square in Grünerløkka, named after author Alexander Lange Kielland.

Alexander Kiellands plass is a lively square and park in the heart of Grünerløkka, one of Oslo's most vibrant and creative neighbourhoods. Named after the celebrated 19th-century Norwegian author Alexander Lange Kielland, known for his socially critical novels, the square today serves as a beloved gathering spot for locals. In summer it buzzes with café goers, families, and occasional market stalls, framed by characterful turn-of-the-century buildings. It captures Oslo's relaxed urban spirit perfectly and is a fine starting point for exploring the neighbourhood's independent shops and food scene.
