Louises gate is a residential street in the Bislett area of Oslo, running between Pilestredet and Fagerborggata. Although it is an ordinary city street rather than a monumental landmark, it has become recognisable through one of the best-known images from modern Norwegian cinema. The gentle downward slope towards Bislett gives the street a clear visual line that works especially well on screen.
Louises gate appears in The Worst Person in the World (2021), where it is used in one of the film’s most famous Oslo scenes. The street is also the location used for the poster image, showing Julie running downhill towards Bislett.
