I have booked v cheap flights for 6 days in Oslo in mid October for a bunch of 4 girls, but am wondering if anyone would recommend somewhere to go for a couple of days out of the city. Perhaps a picturesque lake, spa, quad biking - something fun and non-city-ish!
Is there enough to do in Oslo for 6 days (I think 1 musuem and 1 art gallery will be tops for our concentration spans!)? I have heard that Tusenfryd theme park is worth a visit too?
Thanks!
Hi, I just came back from a 2.5 week vacation in Scandinavia. We had a stop in Oslo. From all my research planning for this trip, every guidebook said that a day or two was enough to see Oslo. We stayed a day and a night. I didn't feel like we missed out on too much. We went Frogner Park, Viking Ship Museum, and the Norwegian Folk Museum. I suggest that you guys rent a car and drive around to the fjord region. It is AMAZING there. You can get there by train too. Look up Norway in a Nutshell for more info on the fjords. As for things closer, a popular bike route is from Fronersetern downhill and pass lakes to Sognsvann. They are both accessible by T-bane. The latter is also a beach, so you can just hang out there. Hope this helps. |
