Start your fall vacation! For many, this means a cabin trip in the mountains or a trip to warmer climes. However, most people stay in the city or take a combination. Maybe you're not taking a fall vacation at all, but want to do something fun anyway?
If you're spending your fall break in Oslo, we've got some tips for fun things to do. Pick and mix for an intense day of fun, or spread the experiences over several. Let's get started.
Long mornings are the hallmark of a vacation. But if you're not going to take a full day off, you can take advantage of the quieter period to meet the morning light in a sauna at Aker Brygge and zone out in the warmth. With the sound of calm music on the speaker and enveloped in steam and warmth, you'll feel your muscles soften and your shoulders drop, before facing the rest of the day. Close to KOK's saunas at Aker Brygge you'll find Kveitemjøl bakery To. You know, the people who created the cube. They have baked goods made from sourdough and delicious coffee, and are perfect for a post sauna breakfast.
The feeling after a sauna, freshly cooked and tender, blissful and floating, is the perfect state to experience art. So it's fitting that The National Museum is only a stone's throw away. Just wandering around and letting yourself be surprised by the beautiful things that pop up is a great way to experience the museum. For most people, it's a bit much to take on the Nordic region's largest art museum in one go. During the fall holidays, the exhibition Harriett Backer. Every atom is color. Backer was one of Norway's most significant artists and the exhibition presents Backer's life, artistic development and position in society at a time when women's rights were changing radically. The exhibition runs until January 14, 2024.
If you're longing for a different time and place, like on vacation, the Sommerro House The place for you. In Gamle Oslo Lysverket's premises, you can step right into 1931 with beautiful art deco decorations and recreations of old treasures. A bit like the world of Hercule Poirot, but without the crime and drama. Afternoon Tea is served in the To Søstre restaurant and offers delicious sweets, sandwiches and scones, a rich selection of teas and bubbles in several varieties.
If you want a staycation or treat yourself to an extra nice accommodation in Oslo, Sommerro has a bouquet of delicious and exciting hotel packages. Something to put on your Christmas wish list?
In Japan, hiking in the forest is a field of medical research because being in the forest has been proven to have so many positive effects. Perhaps not surprising, as we are designed to exist in nature, not enclosed in concrete and asphalt. Being out in the woods is called Shinrin Yoku in Japanese, which translates to bathing in the forest or nature. We love anything to do with bathing, so we're fans of this.
There's no one better than DNT for tips on where to do Shinrin Yoku. If you want a view on your trip, here are the tips for summit tours in marka. Other suggestions are to take the track to Skullerud near Østmarka and walk a small part of the refugee route. Just under 3 hours of forest tranquillity can be just right for a day with other things on the agenda. If you'd prefer a full-day forest walk, we recommend the adventure forest at Lusevasan, starting from Grorud.
For example, take the train to Skullerud in Østmarka after lunch and walk a small section of Flyktningeruta. Just under 3 hours of forest tranquillity can be just right for a day with other things on the agenda. If you'd prefer a full-day forest walk, we recommend the adventure forest at Lusevasan, starting from Grorud.
Colder days bring wonderful sunsets. How about enjoying one with a snack or a drink?
From restaurant to cocktail bar Twelfth and the Crane At the top of Munch you have orchestra seating to the beautiful evening sky. The Ekeberg restaurants is also a classic in the field of views and food.
If you want to keep it simple, take-away on a blanket at Sørengkaia is a winner. Pick up something tasty from popular Mike's Corner in Bjørvika. The place is packed, and with good reason. Karpe's regular photographer's sandwiches have already achieved legendary status and are perfect for an evening picnic in the sunset. Bring a warm sweater and a loved one.
