Sentrum, meaning city-centre, is located on the southeast side of Oslo near the inner Oslofjord.

The district is dominated by high rises like Postgirobygget and The Plaza. Oslo's Central Station is located on the eastern side of the borough. Sentrum consists of Bjørvika which has a history as Oslo's main harbour. The area is now being rebuilt with modern high rises consisting of the Barcode and also several student apartments, schools and museums. Sentrum is not a borough with an administration. It is partially administered by St. Hanshaugen, and in part directly by the city council. The borough St. Hanshaugen takes care of health and social services.
