Kranen is an intimate rooftop cocktail bar perched 60 metres above Oslo on the 13th floor of the Munch museum at Edvard Munchs Plass 1, offering some of the city's most commanding panoramic views over the skyline and the Oslofjord. The indoor lounge is open year-round for drop-ins, while a beautifully designed wooden-decked terrace with comfortable sofas comes alive during the warmer months for alfresco drinks with an incomparable backdrop. The drinks menu spans crafted cocktails, spritzes, beers, and sparkling options, keeping the atmosphere festive and social. Just below, the 12th-floor Bistro Tolvte serves Nordic cuisine for lunch and dinner through its panoramic windows, making the combination of Tolvte and Kranen a compelling full-evening destination. Smart casual dress is welcome, and Kranen is open to all — no museum ticket required — making it an accessible and unforgettable sky-high venue in one of Oslo's most culturally significant buildings.
