Økern is a Metro Station on the No 5 (Orange) Grorud Line of the Oslo Metro system. The station is part of the original stretch of the Grorud Line, and was opened on 16 October 1966. In 2010, the station was refurbished and partly rebuilt. New platforms are fitted with snowmelt systems.
The station is also located at the intersection of the metro line and the Ring 3 highway, which encircles most of the inner part of the city of Oslo.
The area around Økern is dominated by private enterprises, and the Økern shopping centre is in the immediate vicinity.
