Oslo: Urban Exploration Meets Outdoor Fun
📍 Speed Down Oslo’s Ultimate Toboggan Run
Forget regular sledding—Korketrekkeren is next level. This 2,000-meter toboggan run from Frognerseteren to Midtstuen is pure adrenaline. The best part? You can just hop back on the metro and do it all over again. Go solo or race your friends down for the ultimate winter challenge.
📍Warm Up in a Floating Sauna
Nothing says "Norwegian core" like sitting in a steaming hot sauna, then jumping into a freezing fjord. Bademaschinen in Bjørvika is the spot—right on the water, with a perfect view of the Oslo Opera House. You can book it for a group or show up solo, but either way, you’ll walk out glowing, freezing, and weirdly energized.
📍 Explore Frogner Park & The Vigeland Sculpture Park
Ditch the phone and capture Oslo the old-school way. Frogner Park is perfect for a long walk, people-watching, or snapping artsy shots of the Vigeland Sculptures with a disposable camera. Bonus: No retakes, just raw, unfiltered memories.
📍Discover Oslo’s Modern Architecture at Barcode
For those who love design, coffee, and city vibes, Bjørvika’s Barcode district is the place to be. Wander between ultra-modern high-rises, grab a drink at a rooftop bar, and check out one of the area’s trendy galleries or concept stores.
Bergen: Nature, Culture & Timeless Charm
📍Take the Cable Car to Ulriken
Yeah, you could just take the cable car to the top of Ulriken for insane fjords-and-mountains views—but if you really want to flex, hike your way down. The air is fresh, the trails are solid, and once you’re back in the city, you’ll have earned that post-hike burger.
📍Stroll Through Bergen’s Historic Fish Market
The Fish Market is fine if you like crowds and overpriced snacks, but the real move? Head to a local seafood joint and go all in. Whether it’s sashimi-fresh salmon, buttery scallops, or the classic fish soup, you’ll leave full, happy, and ready for a food coma.
📍Experience Norwegian Art at KODE
Bergen’s KODE Art Museum is where Norwegian classics meet modern creativity. See Edvard Munch’s lesser-known works, discover new artists, or just wander through pretending you “get” abstract art. Whether you're an art person or just looking for a good indoor activity when it’s raining (again), it’s a solid way to spend an afternoon.
📍Relax in Bergen’s Floating Sauna & Cruise
Floating saunas are officially a thing in Bergen, and the City Sauna & Cruise lets you soak in both views and sweat at the same time. It's part social hangout, part wellness trend, and 100% a unique way to warm up after a long day. Plus, let’s be honest—a sauna on a boat sounds like something you should experience at least once.
Bonus: Other Off-Screen Activities to Try in Norway
🚴♂️✨Midnight Bike Ride Under the Northern Lights
Picture this: You, a bike, and the Northern Lights overhead. Whether you’re in Tromsø, Lofoten, or even just biking through the quiet streets of Oslo at midnight, it’s an experience that feels straight out of a dream.
🏊♂️🌿 Wild Swimming in Norway’s Hidden Lakes
Norway’s lakes are ridiculously clear, and yes, they’re cold—but that’s the fun part. Take a plunge into Sognsvann in Oslo, Lake Bondhus near Folgefonna, or Lovatnet in the west. It’s refreshing, it’s a bit insane, and it makes your morning showers feel weak in comparison.
🍄🔥Go Full Viking and Learn to Forage & Cook Outdoors
Hiking is great, but have you ever foraged your own food and cooked it over a fire? Outdoor survival meets Norwegian tradition in these foraging experiences, where you’ll learn to identify wild herbs, berries, and mushrooms, then turn them into a feast. A legit way to impress people at your next dinner party.
Whether you're a local or just passing through, Norway has way better things to offer than another doomscrolling session. Ready to ditch the screen and do something different? 🚀
