Top Active Leisure Sport in Eastern Norway

I recommend getting the Oslo Pass if you plan on exploring more than just the camping. It saved me a ton on local attractions and transport! Plus, it's super handy for getting discounts everywhere.

I suggest you try the night skiing if you're up for it; it's a totally different vibe and way less crowded. Just make sure to check the schedule first, though.

Watch the weather closely before heading out. It can change quickly in Oslo, and being unprepared left me a bit soggy on my visit. A light, waterproof jacket is a good idea!

If you're into yachting, try to visit on a weekday. The weekend crowds can get pretty heavy, and you’ll have a better chance of snagging a good spot to watch the boats come in and out.

If you're planning to swim, I'd say arrive around 9 AM on a weekday to avoid crowds. By 11 AM, it gets pretty busy, especially when families show up.

My advice is to try the local food, especially at smaller eateries. I made the mistake of sticking to tourist spots and missed out on some amazing dishes!

For first-timers I'd recommend going for the beginner rider session at 1 PM. The instructors are super patient and you get more attention during that slot.

My advice is to wear layers. The weather can be unpredictable in Oslo, and you'll want to be comfortable whether you're riding or just hanging around the farm.

Make sure to dress in layers and bring a spare pair of gloves. I got super cold after my gloves got wet and it became a real downer.
