Cool city breaks
for hot women

Forget about all those 'to dos', 'should have dones' or whatever stressful thoughts that might be bothering you at the moment...

Gather your girl crew, set off on a short adventure, and get a boost of fresh, rejuvenating energy in your hectic everyday life.

“I used to schedule my me time: tomorrow at three o’clock I'll have about half an hour. But now, every day is me time!”

Tina (48)

City breaks the Norwegian way

Cultural city tips from famous Norwegians

City walks: route suggestions

Life is a journey, but sometimes it feels like the train is moving too fast. That's when you need to hit pause!

Taking a break from the daily grind is absolutely necessary. Escape the hum drum routine and prioritise yourself and spending time with the ones you love the most, those who give you energy and make you laugh. Embrace spontaneity, stay curious, and remember that you are a still a world explorer!

Bring your besties

Travelling with friends is a chance to deepen connections and share memorable moments. Together, you can explore new places, savour local cuisine, and create lasting memories.

Face it: you need to set aside time to do that girl's trip you always talked about, where you can enjoy everything from fast to slow activities. Not to mention sleep, attend concerts and festivals, and have long and deep conversations.

It is a little bit like being back in your 20s again! But this time, you don't have to survive on black coffee, noodles, and cheap beer... You can afford the good stuff!

City breaks the Norwegian way

Just look at these four happy friends from Denmark,who we invited to enjoy a fun long-weekend in one of Norway's compact, but action-packed cities.

Here, you can combine a cultural Friday visiting museums and galleries with a Saturday with the locals, where you sample tasty food and enjoy good vibes and great shopping. On Sunday, do as the Norwegians, go for a classical søndagstur, a Sunday walk, along the fjord, through a sculpture park, or up in the mountains! Travel back home feeling rejuvenated, full of new impressions.

That's what we call a city break the Norwegian way!

Get inspired by friends Pia (55), Eva (54), Bodil (57) and Tina (48), and their experiences!

City Break in Norway - The New Beginning

"Having more free time from the kids and more me-time means I can travel my way. I just have myself to consider and what makes me happy right now."
– Pia, visiting from Denmark

The perfect getaway

Norway has plenty to offer you and your friends. Feel the vibrant pulse in one of our big cities and stay at exclusive hotels. Indulge in delicious food, join fun courses, visit exciting museums, and free your inner dancing queen on the dance floor!

Or are you maybe seeking more peace and quiet? Like spa treatments and mindfulness or a stay in beautiful natural surroundings? Norway is home to lots of unique treetop cabins and other unique accommodation, providing the perfect setting for good conversations in front of a fireplace.

Women just wanna have fun!

Don't get totally 'menopaused'. Get ready to rock again! Let these women inspire you to embrace the transition and make the most of it!
