Romerike is an area northeast of Oslo in Eastern Norway.

The most famous attraction in Romerike is Eidsvoll 1814, where the Norwegian constitution was written. The area also offers fun activities like alpaca walks, art experiences and an indoor skiing centre.

Imagine staying here, in a beautiful mirrored glass cabin with clear views of Northern Europe's biggest inland delta …

… or here, at the venerable Losby Gods hunting lodge, where royal guests once dined with silver cutlery and porcelain plates in a bygone era.

Why not enjoy an early morning round of golf on a dewy course?

Want to challenge yourself (and the laws of physics)?

Feel what it's like to fly at the Modern Activity Center's wind tunnel, right by the airport, or at Megafun in Lørenskog. There are lots of activities at both locations, including big indoor play centres for the kids.

In Lørenskog, you can even ski year round!

SNØ offers downhill slopes, rails, a big jump, cross country trails, and ice climbing – all indoors.

Did you know that Nittedal is home to the biggest private art collection in Europe?

Enjoy a little quiet contemplation among Galleri Würth's paintings, prints and sculptures.

Art lovers should also visit the stylish NITJA Centre for Contemporary Art in Lillestrøm.

Looking for more memorable experiences?

Take an alpaca walk in Sørum, Hurdal and Aurskog.

At the Rømskog Spa & Resort, you can relax and indulge yourself in idyllic lakeside surroundings, with forest all around you.

A visit to Eidsvoll is a must!

Take in the historic atmosphere at Eidsvoll manor house, where Norway's constitution was written.

Listen as the guides tell the dramatic story of six fateful weeks in 1814, when 112 of the nation's founding fathers drafted their own laws, and their own fate.

Feel the patriotic spirit!

It's easy to fall in love on a lovely summer's day as you stroll along the water by the national heritage site Fetsund timber booms.

Peace, harmony, and fun! The kids will enjoy playing on and fishing from the floating pathways.

The forests and fields north of Oslo are perfect for active holidays and new surprises.

The Høyt & Lavt climbing park in Lillestrøm has 41 zip lines and 240 climbing elements among the trees. At the southern end of the Mjøsa, Norway's biggest lake, sits the Byrud Emerald Mine where you can still find emeralds – and keep them!

In addition, a multitude of marked trails in Romerike provides both summer hikes and winter skiing.

And an entire Pilgrim's Route.

Stretch your legs out at a hostel, and relax after the strain of the day's hike.
