Your road trip adventure in Norway begins as soon as you reach Oslo and pick up your car. You’ll stay here for 2 nights and explore what to see in Oslo, sample the local cuisine, and choose from a curated selection of the best hotels and places to stay in the city.

Oslo is a beautiful city with plenty to discover. If you arrive before check-in time or prefer to get started on your sightseeing right away, we recommend checking out Akershus Fortress. Taking a stroll in the city center is a great alternative. Soak in the lovely atmosphere and sit down for a bit to eat or drink.

Find your way to your hotel in Oslo. We recommend choosing a hotel in a central location for easy exploring. Check-in typically starts between 2 and 4 PM at hotels in Norway. Settle in and make plans for the evening.

As dinnertime approaches, it's time to head out for a bite to eat. If you are looking to dine at a popular restaurant in Oslo, it's often a good idea to reserve a table in advance.

Dine in style at Kverneriet - Solli Plass, a top recommendation for dinner tonight. Or, for a change of pace, Øst boasts a menu that's sure to impress. Also, be sure to check out Cafe Sør. Known as a local hotspot, it’s a great choice for tonight in Oslo.

Cap off your dinner by heading to Kiosken Bar, ideal for a leisurely evening with a drink in hand. Schouskjelleren Mikrobryggeri is another bar that offers an enjoyable setting. Similarly, Last Train is also a popular place to go on a night out, perfect for relaxing and socializing.

One of the most iconic spots you can visit today is Grünerløkka. Allow yourself some time to explore this neighborhood and discover its unique quirks. You'll also find many of the best sightseeing spots nearby.

After soaking in Oslo’s unique atmosphere, jump into the car with a full heart and drive in the direction of your next destination: Lillehammer. Expect your car journey to take a minimum of 2 hours 7 min. When you arrive in Lillehammer, it's time to take a break from the road.

One of our top recommendations for your sightseeing is Norwegian Olympic Museum. Spend some time admiring the photogenic features of the museum before you continue to your next stop.

When you’re ready to jump back into the car and say goodbye to Lillehammer, you’ll hit the road in the direction of Elstad. This drive usually takes around 50 min.

Ringebu Stave Church is an intriguing church we recommend visiting today. Discover its historic features before continuing your self-guided tour.

When you’re done exploring for the day, you’ll return to Oslo and your accommodation.

After a day of adventure, treat yourself to an exquisite dinner at one of Oslo's best restaurants.

Treat yourself to a delightful dinner at Vesper Gastrobar, highly recommended for tonight's dining. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, why not try Dinner Restaurant? It's another excellent option with a diverse menu. Consider reserving a table at The Dubliner Folk Pub as well. Known for its consistent customer satisfaction, it’s an ideal pick for tonight in Oslo.

Cap off your culinary experience with a visit to some of the most celebrated bars in the area. For instance, Skyggesiden Bar stands out as an excellent choice for a post-dinner cocktail. Alternatively, Bar Polar offers an ideal atmosphere to enjoy the pleasures of the night. Svanen/dgæ Cocktailbar is also a great option that provides a perfect setting for a relaxing evening.
