Embracedbylife Posted April 26, 2009 #1 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Will be staying overnight in Oslo - leaving ship early and will have an entire day there. Would like to see more than just the city, and get out into the outskirts. Planning to either rent a car by the airport and drive up to Lillehammer or other area and spend the night by the airport, or stay in Oslo and take a train either west or south to see some other areas within a few hours of Oslo. Any suggestions on what we should see besides Oslo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwegianlatvian Posted April 26, 2009 #2 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Hi! Norway is a big country, so if you want to go to Lillehammer you should be prepared on 5 hours from Oslo and back again (2.5 hours one way).. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viking_Ship_Museum_in_Oslo Public transport is expensive (like the rest of Norway..). BUT if you got some time in Norway, you must visit these places: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_Museum_of_Cultural_History http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viking_Ship_Museum_in_Oslo Have a nice trip!

Embracedbylife Posted April 26, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Thanks, these look like great places to see! I was also just reading about a place only an hour south of Oslo via boat called Drobak. So I think we'll skip Lillehammer...seems too far for sure! Thanks again!

Norwegianlatvian Posted April 26, 2009 #4 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Skip Drobak (Droebak/DrØbak), and go to Tonsberg (TØnsberg/Toensberg) instead. 1.5 with train each way. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C3%B8nsberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embracedbylife Posted April 26, 2009 Author #5 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Thanks! can you give me some info on Tonsberg. Is it a prettier town than Drobak? We are not looking for museums and things, just mostly a nice scenic town outide of Oslo. Thanks again for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screwcork Posted May 3, 2009 #6 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Hi, I would go to Drøbak! It's closer and as nice as Tønsberg! You could also visit Oscarsborg which is very close to Drøbak: http://www.nasjonalefestningsverk.no/oscarsborg/museum Good luck! Screwcork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
