Hey everyone!
I’m heading to Norway in August, from Saturday to Wednesday. We land on the 8th at around 12 pm, and our return flight leaves from Oslo at 5 pm.
It’s a surprise trip for my wife, so I’m trying to make it as memorable as possible!
I’ve already planned most of our itinerary, but I’m sure there are a few hidden gems along the way that I shouldn’t miss.
Here’s the plan:
Day 1
Drop our bags at Smarthotel
Quick lunch (vegetarian-friendly options for my wife)
Explore Oslo (maybe by bike?)
Late afternoon at the Det Gode Selskab electronic day event at Fotografihuset (Bjørvikutstikkeren)
Evening at the Gatefest DJ festival at Blå
Day 2
Vigeland Park
Maybe City Hall, a museum… still deciding!
Day 3
Pick up the rental car in Oslo and drive to Hemsedal
Hiking or a nice walk (I heard there are some beautiful waterfalls around there)
Relaxing evening and overnight at Fyri Resort
Day 4
Drive to the Flåm viewpoint
Afternoon in Flåm: kayaking or hiking?
Drive back to Oslo in the evening… 🫠
Day 5
Looking for a beautiful morning walk or a nice spot before heading to the airport
Maybe Day 6
The Well Spa… if the budget allows it 💸
I’m wondering if there are any must-see places between Oslo and Flåm that don’t require a huge detour.
Maybe an amazing viewpoint, a stunning river, a waterfall, a local food stop (I’m definitely not vegetarian 🥩😄), a museum, a park… anything that made you stop and say “wow”.
Thanks a lot in advance, and have an awesome summer! ⛱️
