Majorstuen

Majorstuen sits in the transition between Frogner and Vinderen, and has long been the city's most important interchange for public transport. The district is built up of large, solid blocks from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many with shops on the ground floor and apartments above. Bogstadveien runs straight through the area and gives the district a clear retail character, while the side streets are quiet and dominated by older families and long-term tenants. Furnished apartments here are attractive to consultants who commute between several clients on the west coast or in Scandinavia, because you reach both Oslo Airport and Oslo Central Station from Majorstuen in under twenty minutes. Walking distance to the Royal Park, Frogner Park and the Vigeland museum also makes the district work well for families with children.
