Get insider tips from locals for an exciting long weekend in Norway’s main cities, where urban vibes meet small-town charm.
Kick off the weekend with a cultural Friday. Visit the best museums, galleries, and attractions …
… then spend the Saturday exploring the locals’ favourite places: Charming cafés, speciality shops, saunas – and of course top-notch restaurants with local treats.
Save the last day for a Sunday walk. Whether you opt for a long urban stroll or set off towards a nearby mountain top, be prepared to cover ground on foot.
One of the best things about Norway’s largest cities is that they are actually fairly small. Which means that you can experience many of the highlights during a long weekend. Explore top attractions like the Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim, the Bryggen wharf in Bergen, the Arctic Cathedral in Tromsø, and Oslo’s new landmarks – and still have plenty of time for secluded alleys, exciting eateries, cafés, and concerts.
As all Norwegian cities are close to magnificent nature, you can easily combine city life with outdoor experiences. Forest or mountains? Adrenaline or relaxation? Whatever takes your fancy, you will find it within easy reach – from paddling, rafting, and fishing to hiking and climbing.
