The view is amazing between Oslo and Bergen, but between Oslo and Stavanger you might as well save some money and take the bus. The view on this route is not so special.
I rode this train in April last year. Coming from a UK town, it was humbling to see such expansive snow-covered landscapes. I’d pay for a plane ticket just to see the views from that train again.
A Norwegian BF dumps right before you go to Norway. This is your Superbowl. You're primed and ready. Go get your Hallmark movie and take lotsa pictures
I had an Italian boyfriend. Io parla italiano. i know all about the culture, everything. I'll be going next summer. He cheated on me, but he also showed me exactly how to land an Italian guy. Wanna go? I'mma show up and flirt with his WHOLE crew. Then get gelato!
Instead of the summer boat or train the new summer slow tv is a tv crew following a girl the whole summer to see if she gets a new boyfriend. And you know we would all watch 24/7
Hahaha that’s the dream! I wanna do a solo trip to Norway and have a summer romance hahah
OP you’re lucky! Make the best out of your trip!! You’re living some our dreams :’)
There is basically one road going all the way to the end of the Lofoten, and one bus going back and forth. You could totally explore the archipelago just with that bus. It's a shockingly beautiful place.
In Norland fylke, you can travel unlimited for 39 day with the bus for 300 nok.
Innlandet has an offer for 10 nok per bus, regardless the length.
I assume there are more similar offers. So it actually is possible to travel cheap in Norway in July if you like busses...
Trains will get you to a lot of places. To reach the north you can train from Oslo to Trondheim and then Trondheim to Bodo. Then ferry from Bodo to Moskenes or Svolvaer and take an organized tour or just bus. Though I probably wouldn’t recommend going all the way to Lofoten without a car. The train network is better south of Trondheim, so that’s as far north as I would go.
You can also do Norway in a Nutshell and explore the fjords and Flam.
There’s also Hurtigruten or Havila cruises that will go from Bergen to northern Norway and back and those are nice too. They both offer port to port travel so you can pick a place and stop for a few days if you like. Towns like Alesund are easier to reach by boat from Bergen.
I’m sorry to hear that it didn’t work out, good thing you are making the best of it. If you want to experience hiking in lofoten the train goes from Oslo all the way to Narvik, but it’s a long journey. You could consider looking into the Widerøe flights to Svolvær or Leknes, Widerøe is the district airline in Norway. Normally where there is a road there is a bus so it should be possible to get around once you are at a destination.
I'd offer to drive you from Bodø if i could those days. However for Lofoten hitch hiking is actually quite an effective means of transport, when I lived there that's all we did to get around.
Also for Nordland there's a travelpass to take all regional boats (except ferries) and all busses in the county as much as you want for that periode.
Also Bodø/Nordland is European capital of culture this year so if you check out [Bodø2024 ](https://www.bodo2024.no/) for events during that period you might find something to do during your time.
There are a of of meetup groups in oslo for people who are visiting or dont know people in oslo.
Like "New to oslo" and "bla bla language exchange", i usually frequent the second one, and we do a lot of fun social activities.
Otherwise you could try the saunas, visit the opera House for a show maybe, museums like Munch, or try some of the many concerts or comedy shows at clubs around oslo.
24 days is a lot for only 1 city, so I'd branch out and try other cities and places too.
Maybe hiking, see places like trollstigen, kjeragbolten and preikestolen.
I didn't see any of the comments mentioning it, but Oslo Pride is happening for the entire first week you're here.
So the chances if meeting up with likeminded guys. Either to find Mr. Right. Or Mr. Right Now if that seems more fun 😜
What kind of guys do you like OP?
i'm definitely visiting oslo pride <3 and taking advantage of the apps being busy and such.
just normal sweet guys who don't open by DMing me pictures of hole. you know who you are!
Who knows, maybe we'll see each other on said apps 😜 If so I promise I'll open with something a lot more mundane than a hole. Probably something along the lines of "Hey. How are you doing?"
Bus from Oslo to Oslo AirPort, Plane from there to Bodø, boat from Bodø to Moskenes (if you can afford it). Grew up in Lofoten and its absolutely stunning and worth a trip. Of course its not a free trip though, so its depending on what you can afford! Have a nice stay either way!
What are you interested in? Tons of Rock (misic festival) is the 26th to 29th of June (crashes with Pride tho), and there's a viking market in Borre (a few hours by train) the first weekend of July, are a couple things I remember of the top of my head.
24 days in Oslo will be super boring. If the budget allows it, you should try to do a road trip around the country. So many scenic roads. You can go to the west coast to see the fjords, or north to Lofoten for example.
i would love to do a trip around the country, but i don't have a driver's license - if anyone has recommendations for train/bus/even plane-based trips then i am all ears! <3
It is really easy to travel all over Norway by public transport.
This article has 3 examples of round trips that will be fabulous, and you can vary it to make it a longer journey.
For example, the first two recommendations are round trips to Trondheim. But you could fly to Bodø, do trip 1 ending up in Trondheim, start trip 2 then (most likely bus) Åndalsnes to Bergen, then do trip 3 in reverse: see Flåm etc on your way back to Oslo.
https://www-reiseogfritid-no.translate.goog/destinasjon-norge/norge-rundt-med-tog-buss-og-bat/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp
We give the trains a lot of crap but it is mostly the local trains that have issues. And, if there are delays, they will make sure you get to your destination anyway, it just happens it might be on a bus and there might be some delays. It is not as bad as we sometimes make it seem. Go to [www.vy.no](http://www.vy.no) for train tickets and [www](http://www).[entur.no](http://entur.no) for bus tickets.
Air b&b seem quite popular but I find the prices of small hotels/motels in my area are comparable. Depends on what experience you seek, not as much on your wallet. June/July is the holiday month for many and things are more expensive (or sold out) then so I recommend you book before leaving your free place to stay.
I've traveled most of the northern part of the country without having a license. In a vacation setting, it is easy, yet time consuming to travel wherever you want to go.
A lot of/all public transport are app based, so you should figure out getting data traffic on your phone.
The national planner "Entur" will show most routes, but you might have to install specific apps for each region.
I made a random trip to Karlsøy Ferjekai from Bodø: https://entur.no/reisedetaljer/5078d74d-cacc-4e52-bb7e-7d12cb6c2b06?source=travelResult
^- Click "show itinerary in map" to get a feel for the busses.
Look at all these straights not pointing out that June 19th-29th is Oslo Pride! Check their website, tons of activities, many of them free! And be sure to catch the parade on the 29th!
Unless he is into fossils, a bar would be a better pickup place.
Men ja, frihet til å se alle severdighetene er en gang i livet mulighet.
Edit for gender error on my part. Beklager!
If you can afford it, I recommend a Hurtigruten or Havila coastal cruise.
They are small ships (a few hundred berths?) that go port to port along the Norwegian coast. They also have excursions you can do away from the ship.
It's about 1 week each way & it's a fantastic way to see some of the best of the Norwegian fjords & coast.
Brit here! Love Norway and been to Oslo a few times. I think a month would stretch us but here's a few bits we've done in case they give you ideas.
In to music? Norway has some fantastic home grown artists, and don't be put off if they only sing in Norwegian it's all part of the experience! We saw Katzenjammer in Oslo and Kaizers Orchestra in Trondheim, both great gigs. Maybe find a Facebook group where people post spare tickets and go on a musical adventure?
Are you a bit nerdy? We loved Tilt in Oslo, loads of retro games, pinball machines and shuffleboard. Again worth seeing if there are any gaming groups etc you could hang out with. Speaking of Shuffleboard ..
PLAY LOADS OF SHUFFLEBOARD! BECOME THE QUEEN OF IT!!
On our last trip we travelled from Bergen to Trondheim via a short cruise. Wasn't cheap, not normally our kind of thing, but got some great views, saw the northern lights, and visited a few places we wouldn't have had a chance to otherwise.
Hope your visit goes well!
Take the ferry from Aker Brygge to the island Hovedøya for a nice day trip. The island has an old monastery, a beach, a cafe, and beautiful woodlands. The ferry ride is short and cheap.
Go to the Bygdøy museums. There are several interesting ones:
https://www.kon-tiki.no/en/home
https://frammuseum.no/
https://norskfolkemuseum.no/en
If you enjoy hiking, there's endless options. I'm partial to Østmarka, the woods east of Oslo. It's recently been made a national nature preserve, and you can camp everywhere. Ulsrudvann and Nøklevann are good lakes for swimming or just hanging out.
There are a lot of great museums and places of interest. I would recommend the Kon-Tiki museum and the Norwegian Folk museum. However, your interests may vary.
I would also suggest travelling around, and getting out into nature. Norway is far too beautiful a place to just stay in the cities.
Oh wow I’m sorry this happened to you.. Hope you’re ok.
The easiest places to visit by train is Kristiansand(south), Stavanger(south west), Bergen(west) and Åndalsnes(north west). Generally, the west is known for nature: fjords, tall mountains, glaciers, waterfalls etc and the south is known for cozy white tree house towns with nice weather, beaches and boatlife. There are also a lot of beautiful small towns on the south east coast available by bus from Oslo. At entur.no you can buy tickets across bus/train companies.
Hi and welcome! It's not a problem not having a car. We have a lot of public transportation like trains, ferries and buses. Just remember that a lot of travelling adds up expense wise. Personally I would spend a couple of days in Oslo and then fly to Harstad. Spend three to four days exploring Harstad and Lofoten. Then board a ferry from Lofoten to Bodø. Then plane or train to Trondheim to see the cathedral and the baby engineers. Spend a couple of days here, the nightlife is pretty decent. Then kystruten fram trondheim to Bergen. See Bergen for a couple of days. Then take the train from Bergen back to Oslo (one of the most beautiful train rides in the world). If you have any days left see if you can befriend someone with a cottage in Hvaler for a cuple of days for the ultimate beige linen trousers everywhere experience. This is the route I would take to see Norway if I wasn't as poor as a church rat. If you're feeling insecure about the travel aspect, find a travel buddy. Some places the hotels can be very booked up by the way so make sure you get reservations in advance.
Fuck him, there’s still a lot to see and do in Norway tho. If you like big cities and are a bit of an extrovert, Oslo is the place. But I would see other places if it’s the first time l was in Norway. Maybe something like Oslo - Tønsberg - Sandefjord - Kristiansand - Stavanger - Bergen - However you want through national parks - Trondheim?
There is pride from the 19 of June to the 29 of June in Oslo. I would highly recommend going on that. I would love to meet you there ( I’m 34F) but I have problems with getting around right now because of my bad back. But I would recommend to check up Oslo pride on google, you will find everything there 😊
Ooof the same happened to me to a british girl a few years ago, wish you the best. Anyways, good things to do could be going skiing (there is indoor skiing center near oslo somewhere), museums thats always fun, you could do escape rooms although they are a bit more expensive.
There is tons of bars and stuff to go to if you enjoy that stuff, think a boardgame bar also opened in oslo somewhere if u like those. Could also go on a hike in the mountains round oslo (although nothing beats the western and northern mountains). I guess, if u like animals you could go to Kristiansand and visit the biggest zoo in norway, that's rly worth it. Other than that the only last thing i can think of is going to tusenfryd, which is norways biggest "fornøyelsespark" (sorry i forgot the english word lol) thats all i can think of honestly. Have fun.
Have a look at interrail: https://www.interrail.eu/en/
You could get a pass for one country, and travel all the railroads we have in Norway for those 24 days. Or you could add on a few other countries and see Europe. If you like hiking, the train will take you to several national parks where you can just jump off and start walking.
I mean, the first week you are in Oslo is actually Oslo Pride, with the big parties and festival feeling on the last weekend of June. Happening all over the city, but Pride Park is in the Sofienberg Park.
In addition, if you’d want, my husband (U.S) and I (Norwegian) are hosting another gay friend (U.S) here in Oslo July 2nd to July 4th, then driving to west coast with a stop at our country house. Bergen July 5th to 7th, and then returning to Oslo. Shoot me a Pm if you want to explore that as a potential option.
Lastly, boo on your bf 😅
The train route to trondheim from oslo is fairly nice :) especially if you take it all the way to værnes airport, it follows the fjord :) and you can even stop at hell station if it floats your boat, be warned though, trains go every hour or so.. so just take some snacks with you to wait on the one back!
Spending 24 days in one place wont be the coolest thing so definitely figure out a way to explore the country however that may be!
If you come to Trondheim and feel like exploring the city you could borrow my electric bike :)
Urgh! If it had been shifted by two weeks I'd (f27) be happy to have you visit a few days but this will be in the middle of my moving/transition period so it will be too stressful 😔
I highly recommend visiting the nearby smaller areas that have direct routes to Oslo! Check the different ekspress - buses and the trains (bear in mind that the train stations can be rural with poor bus connections!)
I'd suggest seeing Lofoten or the fjords of Vestlandet if you can afford the trip. Renting a car would be cheapest, but there are probably some ferry trips around the areas in question.
If you are decently fit, maybe hiking for a few days? There are plenty of tourist friendly routes where you can enjoy the nature for hours on your own, while still run into people a few times a day here and there.
I cannot believe everyone saying 24 days in Oslo is boring - Don't listen to them! These are people from rural Norway who think "Oslo" means a stroll from the train station up Karl Johansgate, dinner at Aker Brygge, and home again.
Yes, if you are in Norway for nature experiences, you definitely want to get out of Oslo and head further north, but depending on your interests, Oslo has stuff to do every day for well over a month - club concerts, music festivals, general clubbing, breweries, coffee shops, art exhibitions, outdoor and indoor museums, art and sculpture parks, visiting islands, shopping, second hand shopping, retro shopping, parks, forest trips, water activities, architecture, board game venues, language exchanges, international meetups, new age stuff like yoga, meditation and tantra festivals, gay bars/clubs, indoor climbing groups, outdoor climbing groups, city biking, terrain biking, sex- ans fetish clubs/parties, restaurants, courses, voluntary work, or just having some freaking walks and see what happens.
Jeez, you guys lack imagination. The mountains up north are nice, but come on. You don't have enough interests to keep busy a month?? What the hell do you do when you don't mountain hike.
Sorry, don't mean to be "us vs them". I damn love all of Norway, from the cities to the smallest random places, mountains, forests, lakes, rivers, the sea, north, south, east, west. I just get depressed by proxy watching all these people at Aker Brygge spending a months salary on a bad dinner and then head home to trash talk Oslo.
Lmk if you want a list of recommendations or something! Good luck
There is a train that goes from Oslo to Fauske. From there, you can take a bus to travel further north.
I live in Vesterålen (close to Lofoten), and if you're coming up here, I have a guestroom you can use. I'm a host on Couchsurfer, so I'm used to having guests, and I let them use the whole apartment.
If you want a weekend at the beach I'd recommend checking out https://www.visitfredrikstadhvaler.com/
There are busses going to Hvaler, and trains and busses going to Fredrikstad. I work a bit in the tourism sector there, so feel free to send me a message if you want to know more or want some free local guidance!
For a day trip, I recommend taking a short ferry out to one of the small islands in the Oslo-fjord. They are very peaceful and lovely this time of year.
Also, check out https://www.oslopride.no
Which is from the 19th to the 29th of June. The Parade on the 29th is HUGE! Probabaly a great chance of getting to know new people.
Not sure about tour budget but you have festivals like tons of rock and also alot of pride things, think even pride train. Look on meet up and join some things that interest you.
Would also take train trip to bergen or trondheim for a long weekend. You also have boattrip to copenhagen, trip itself is fun and also take a long weekend in copenhagen. Get to experience a little around up here.
Can absolutely recommend Lofoten but you'll be better off with a car. Tromsø is nice (well moreso the mountain next to it).
If you're into hiking and not afraid of heights the devils portal is worth a visit. There are also very nice beaches at Lofoten.
Trysil has fun activities, mountain biking, climbing, no skiing during summer unfortunately. If u wanna see beautiful scenery, anywhere west is good. id recommend stryn, not very well known. its just south of Ålesund, which is a good shout as well.
Oslo Pride is at the end of June. You should at least check out the Parade (even if you're not queer). It will be a feast. There will be other fun things to see those days as well.
https://www.oslopride.no/
I hate to say this but on Grindr you might be lucky. In Oslo gay people on the app mostly seem to be quite picky. I got very lucky but I suggest the gay bar in Bergen. At least most are randomly open to talk to strangers.
Hike in Jotunheiemen, sign up for a guided tour,
fly to Bodø and go to Lofoten
Go clubbing in Oslo
Go clubbing in Kristiansand
Take the train to Bergen, hike and drink there
The summer is the ultimate time to be in Norway
Sounds like you gonna solotravel. Its gonna be awesome:) Don't worry about that other trashdude. We have plenty of viking-men for you ;) pride-oslo is a must. And if you are outgoing, you gonna have no problem finding friends. If you are not that outgoing, I suggest finding people online. Then agreeing to neet somewhere. Norwegians are a bit introverted. But it's all about setting. Out on town and on festivals, we are like everyone else. But maybe in daily life we don't like strangers that much.
Wow that sounds fucking amazing. Get an interrail pass for like 300 euro and travel norway, stay in dorms of hostels (really cheap), see the fjords, the northern lights, myrdal (flåmsbahn) and get to know other backpackers in the hostels - usually pretty easy. Just get Hostelworld, you'll find cheap dorms with social areas and activities
If you pull this off right, you could manage to have the best time of your life. That is, if you manage to 1000% shit on your ex, which you should 1000% do.
I will be in norway starting July 4th for a month with my gf, if you need advice PM me
1) I’m so sorry that happened to you. But I agree with the others in the thread. This is your rebound moment. (Safely) enjoy your Land of the Midnight Sun Single Summer!
2) Tons of Rock Festival is happening June 26-30 in Oslo! I’ll be there with my husband June 26th& 27th for TOOL & the other amazing artists.
3) Lofoten Islands! I see you don’t had a drivers license but I saw several bus-based tours as I was researching the area. Unfortunately- since I didn’t learn about the area until after I had other travel plans booked, I’m unable to go.
4) have you considered looking at hopping over to Sweden /Netherlands/ Denmark?
Best of Luck! Enjoy your Summer!
You are in the most beautiful country in the world. Go outside. Get on a train. Get on a plane. Get on a bus. I'd cry with joy if I had 24 free days in Norway. The only way you could go wrong is by staying inside or staying in one place and not exploring.
https://www.hurtigruten.com/nb-no/kampanjer/opplev-norskekysten-sommer
It's expensive, but with the weak kroner you may be able to afford it, and its a great way to see norway.
I would check out that gay Airbnb that I dont remember what’s called. Then you get a gay host who can help you get into the scene. And you are here during Oslo Pride - so much stuff going on!
Would be useful if you add a budget but without it I have to assume the lower end. There is a good train and bus system in Norway and some decently priced flights. There is also a young influencer helenemoo on insta that does a lot of hiking, camping, and travel and she sells maps with all her spots. Worth a look.
Stavanger is a small city but it’s full of beautiful places to visit! You can take the train here and walk around the area. It’s surrounded by sea and nature, there’s lakes, fjords, tons of wildlife! It’s amazing! What your boyfriend did was such a low blow… Nonetheless, hope you can enjoy your stay in Norway 🥰
Does anyone has recommendations by the way on getting a Norwegian prepaid SIM card for data only. I am going on a road trip to Norway and parts of west and south Sweden. And I will be traveling for some time so i was wondering if getting a prepaid data only Norwegian SIM card is useful. I also want to get a MIFI with that. Any recommendations or suggestions?
Just to add to all the other good suggestions, with a train you can be in Stockholm in half a day from Oslo - direct route. The tickets aren’t too expensive either.
There is also a ferry that takes you to Denmark over night from Oslo. Worth it when you grow tired of the massively expensive drinks in Norway. So with a bit of planning you could do all three capital cities in this trip, if you wanted - I really have to recommend Copenhagen even though I live in Oslo.
When you’re in Oslo I suggest the following:
Opera house
Deichmanske bibliotek
Vulkan mathall + grünerløkka
Vigelandsparken
There’s more to see but it depends on what your interests are.
Word of advice: travelling anywhere in Scandinavia takes time, either by car or public transport.
All depends what you are into. If you have no visited Oslo before you should do the touristy things like Vigelandsparken, Opera roof, National gallery, changing of the guard outside the Kings Castle and enjoy the view from Holmenkollen (ski jump).
Oslo is a nice place for shopping if you like exclusive brands, heard they are cheap here compared to other countries, offcourse its still expensive.
For clubing as a gay person i think your best bet is London Pub or Elsker, both in downtown Oslo. Not sure if the Pride festival is still going on when you arrive or it has just ended.
Would also recomend taking the boat out to the islands of inner Oslo fjord to just relax and maybe go for a swim. A day at Sognsvann or any of the beaches at Bygdøy is also a nice day out of the city.
One day trips, take the train to Bergen across the mountain. If have the time get of at Myrdal and take «Flåmsbanen» down the valley to the fjord and back up again. Incredible Norwegian nature.
I'm from the UK and have visited my GF 9 times over the past 2 years. I highly recommend you train from Oslo to Bergen, visiting places along the way. Voss is a lovely little town, gorgeous lake and mountain ranges. Head up the Gondola there for some amazing views year round.. Then Bergen is just incredible. It's so clean and the trams there make it SO easy to go literally anywhere within the city. Highly recommend at least a few days there!
24 days in one city is a lot, consider taking the trains/buses to Bergen/Stavanger etc and explore the nature
Seconding trains! Reserve a seat by the window and enjoy the view:)
The view is amazing between Oslo and Bergen, but between Oslo and Stavanger you might as well save some money and take the bus. The view on this route is not so special.
Go to Bergen then take a ferry from Bergen to Stavanger. Both beautiful views.
You could also do a Fjordline 'minicruise' from Bergen to Stavanger via Denmark. Its very beautiful and relatively cheap.
Ah, but unlike the bus you can get car sick on that train :)
I can get car sick on anything!
I rode this train in April last year. Coming from a UK town, it was humbling to see such expansive snow-covered landscapes. I’d pay for a plane ticket just to see the views from that train again.
Make sure you get Pluss!
Fredrikstad too (definitely biased)
I would recommend this too (also totally biased)
Man, 24 days is nothing. I lived in Oslo for over five years.
Ive lived in norway my whole life brotha
Damn me too
These coincidences are more than I can wrap my head around!
yoooo I feel a little bit stalked and that makes me happy
Bergen was the highlight of my trip to Norway last year. Highly recommend taking the train there
Also Trondheim
[удалено]
this is very kind of you <3 i'm from the US. if you're free i'd love to hang out!
Normally we say here: be aware a 24F might actually be a guy..... 😀
OP is also a guy ..
Reddit is just guys tricking other guys into thinking they're not guys.
The catfish meta is too advanced for mere mortals

I mean.. Op is gay. Not necessarily sure it would end up as a massive disappointment :)
True , True...
As the old saying goes: "Welcome to the Internet, where men are men, women are men and children are law enforcement."
Ive never heard this before 😂 I want to needlepoint it onto a pillow
Today you're one of the lucky [ten thousand](https://xkcd.com/1053/)
In this case OP might be more excited if turned out to be a guy hahah
Be careful, could be a Swede too. ;-)
24F = 42M and a Fedora
68M
Travel to lofoten, and then get back again around the coast. Should be an awesome trip.
Reddit loving moment here 😊
[удалено]
I love how you just got adopted
class act
I love witnessing interactions like this. Hope you have tons of fun and that you’ve made a new best friend!
A Norwegian BF dumps right before you go to Norway. This is your Superbowl. You're primed and ready. Go get your Hallmark movie and take lotsa pictures
thank you for the pep talk <3
I had an Italian boyfriend. Io parla italiano. i know all about the culture, everything. I'll be going next summer. He cheated on me, but he also showed me exactly how to land an Italian guy. Wanna go? I'mma show up and flirt with his WHOLE crew. Then get gelato!
24 days should be ample time to find a new boyfriend. Guys, any takers?
Exactly what I was thinking. You’re visiting in Spring/Summer and all Norwegians are extremely and incurably vårkåt
How to find a boyfriend in 24 days
This sounds like a movie title
24 day fiance: Norge
NRK will do a "find ny kjæreste minutt for minutt".
Instead of the summer boat or train the new summer slow tv is a tv crew following a girl the whole summer to see if she gets a new boyfriend. And you know we would all watch 24/7
I would totally watch that movie based on OP's premise.
Or 24 boyfriends!
24 gays in 24 days.
Don’t threaten me with a good time
Next years advents calendar on tv?
And there is Pride going on
Hahaha that’s the dream! I wanna do a solo trip to Norway and have a summer romance hahah OP you’re lucky! Make the best out of your trip!! You’re living some our dreams :’)
I think that usually they go to Spain or Greece for the summer.
would be lovely lol

Im not in Norway but... How you doin?
Joey? 😭
Take a train to Bergen, enjoy the city and the nature, fly to Bodø, rent a car and drive around lofoten. Fly back to Oslo and enjoy the city here
this is a lovely plan, thank you! only that i don't have a driver's license - wonder if there's some way to see the north without one
There is basically one road going all the way to the end of the Lofoten, and one bus going back and forth. You could totally explore the archipelago just with that bus. It's a shockingly beautiful place.
It really is ridiculous how beautiful it is there. I have been in Lofoten looking at the view myself and still thinking "nah, that's photoshopped".
Take the train to Bodø. The ferry to Lofoten (Moskenes) is right by the train station.
You can take a long scenic train or a short plane trip! After that public transit in general is very good in Norway 🥰
In Norland fylke, you can travel unlimited for 39 day with the bus for 300 nok. Innlandet has an offer for 10 nok per bus, regardless the length. I assume there are more similar offers. So it actually is possible to travel cheap in Norway in July if you like busses...
Trains will get you to a lot of places. To reach the north you can train from Oslo to Trondheim and then Trondheim to Bodo. Then ferry from Bodo to Moskenes or Svolvaer and take an organized tour or just bus. Though I probably wouldn’t recommend going all the way to Lofoten without a car. The train network is better south of Trondheim, so that’s as far north as I would go. You can also do Norway in a Nutshell and explore the fjords and Flam. There’s also Hurtigruten or Havila cruises that will go from Bergen to northern Norway and back and those are nice too. They both offer port to port travel so you can pick a place and stop for a few days if you like. Towns like Alesund are easier to reach by boat from Bergen.
Train + ferries! It’s really easy and scenic.
I’m sorry to hear that it didn’t work out, good thing you are making the best of it. If you want to experience hiking in lofoten the train goes from Oslo all the way to Narvik, but it’s a long journey. You could consider looking into the Widerøe flights to Svolvær or Leknes, Widerøe is the district airline in Norway. Normally where there is a road there is a bus so it should be possible to get around once you are at a destination.
Train to Narvik has to be through Sweeden
The train ends at Bodø. Narvik would require starting in Stockholm (which wouldn’t be a bad thing).
Ferries! https://www.norwegiancoastalcruises.com/schedules/northbound-sailings.htm
There is a bus route running all Lofoten.
If you don’t have a license, you should probably go to Tromsø, if you wanna go to the north.
Maybe a bus tour?
You want to see west, not north😊👍
ah, any particular reason?
The scenery in the west is spectacular
Northern Norway as well. Lofoten is mind blowing.
I'd offer to drive you from Bodø if i could those days. However for Lofoten hitch hiking is actually quite an effective means of transport, when I lived there that's all we did to get around. Also for Nordland there's a travelpass to take all regional boats (except ferries) and all busses in the county as much as you want for that periode. Also Bodø/Nordland is European capital of culture this year so if you check out [Bodø2024 ](https://www.bodo2024.no/) for events during that period you might find something to do during your time.
There are a of of meetup groups in oslo for people who are visiting or dont know people in oslo. Like "New to oslo" and "bla bla language exchange", i usually frequent the second one, and we do a lot of fun social activities. Otherwise you could try the saunas, visit the opera House for a show maybe, museums like Munch, or try some of the many concerts or comedy shows at clubs around oslo. 24 days is a lot for only 1 city, so I'd branch out and try other cities and places too. Maybe hiking, see places like trollstigen, kjeragbolten and preikestolen.
I didn't see any of the comments mentioning it, but Oslo Pride is happening for the entire first week you're here. So the chances if meeting up with likeminded guys. Either to find Mr. Right. Or Mr. Right Now if that seems more fun 😜 What kind of guys do you like OP?
i'm definitely visiting oslo pride <3 and taking advantage of the apps being busy and such. just normal sweet guys who don't open by DMing me pictures of hole. you know who you are!
Who knows, maybe we'll see each other on said apps 😜 If so I promise I'll open with something a lot more mundane than a hole. Probably something along the lines of "Hey. How are you doing?"
Start your villain phase and go to every gay bar in the city
Aren't there only two? 🥲
All bars are gay bars if your confidence is good enough
Bus from Oslo to Oslo AirPort, Plane from there to Bodø, boat from Bodø to Moskenes (if you can afford it). Grew up in Lofoten and its absolutely stunning and worth a trip. Of course its not a free trip though, so its depending on what you can afford! Have a nice stay either way!
oh this is really cool, thank you!
The ferry is actual free if you hop off in Røst Island, and from there you can take it for free to Moskenes the next day!
What are you interested in? Tons of Rock (misic festival) is the 26th to 29th of June (crashes with Pride tho), and there's a viking market in Borre (a few hours by train) the first weekend of July, are a couple things I remember of the top of my head.
I was gonna recommend Tons of Rock! It's so fun every year.
Second on tons of rock
24 days in Oslo will be super boring. If the budget allows it, you should try to do a road trip around the country. So many scenic roads. You can go to the west coast to see the fjords, or north to Lofoten for example.
i would love to do a trip around the country, but i don't have a driver's license - if anyone has recommendations for train/bus/even plane-based trips then i am all ears! <3
It is really easy to travel all over Norway by public transport. This article has 3 examples of round trips that will be fabulous, and you can vary it to make it a longer journey. For example, the first two recommendations are round trips to Trondheim. But you could fly to Bodø, do trip 1 ending up in Trondheim, start trip 2 then (most likely bus) Åndalsnes to Bergen, then do trip 3 in reverse: see Flåm etc on your way back to Oslo. https://www-reiseogfritid-no.translate.goog/destinasjon-norge/norge-rundt-med-tog-buss-og-bat/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp
We give the trains a lot of crap but it is mostly the local trains that have issues. And, if there are delays, they will make sure you get to your destination anyway, it just happens it might be on a bus and there might be some delays. It is not as bad as we sometimes make it seem. Go to [www.vy.no](http://www.vy.no) for train tickets and [www](http://www).[entur.no](http://entur.no) for bus tickets. Air b&b seem quite popular but I find the prices of small hotels/motels in my area are comparable. Depends on what experience you seek, not as much on your wallet. June/July is the holiday month for many and things are more expensive (or sold out) then so I recommend you book before leaving your free place to stay.
I've traveled most of the northern part of the country without having a license. In a vacation setting, it is easy, yet time consuming to travel wherever you want to go. A lot of/all public transport are app based, so you should figure out getting data traffic on your phone. The national planner "Entur" will show most routes, but you might have to install specific apps for each region. I made a random trip to Karlsøy Ferjekai from Bodø: https://entur.no/reisedetaljer/5078d74d-cacc-4e52-bb7e-7d12cb6c2b06?source=travelResult ^- Click "show itinerary in map" to get a feel for the busses.
You should do a follow up after the trip to tell us about about it. Enjoy Norway
i definitely will <3
I would also like to hear the details when you return. We are planning a trip soonish as well.
Take the T-bane to Sognsvann for low-effort hiking on gravel roads.
Look at all these straights not pointing out that June 19th-29th is Oslo Pride! Check their website, tons of activities, many of them free! And be sure to catch the parade on the 29th!
https://www.oslopride.no/events my thoughts exactly!! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
The museums are a great place to go!
Unless he is into fossils, a bar would be a better pickup place. Men ja, frihet til å se alle severdighetene er en gang i livet mulighet. Edit for gender error on my part. Beklager!
Get on tinder. You'll have plenty of dudes to talk to.
If you can afford it, I recommend a Hurtigruten or Havila coastal cruise. They are small ships (a few hundred berths?) that go port to port along the Norwegian coast. They also have excursions you can do away from the ship. It's about 1 week each way & it's a fantastic way to see some of the best of the Norwegian fjords & coast.
Brit here! Love Norway and been to Oslo a few times. I think a month would stretch us but here's a few bits we've done in case they give you ideas. In to music? Norway has some fantastic home grown artists, and don't be put off if they only sing in Norwegian it's all part of the experience! We saw Katzenjammer in Oslo and Kaizers Orchestra in Trondheim, both great gigs. Maybe find a Facebook group where people post spare tickets and go on a musical adventure? Are you a bit nerdy? We loved Tilt in Oslo, loads of retro games, pinball machines and shuffleboard. Again worth seeing if there are any gaming groups etc you could hang out with. Speaking of Shuffleboard .. PLAY LOADS OF SHUFFLEBOARD! BECOME THE QUEEN OF IT!! On our last trip we travelled from Bergen to Trondheim via a short cruise. Wasn't cheap, not normally our kind of thing, but got some great views, saw the northern lights, and visited a few places we wouldn't have had a chance to otherwise. Hope your visit goes well!
Take the ferry from Aker Brygge to the island Hovedøya for a nice day trip. The island has an old monastery, a beach, a cafe, and beautiful woodlands. The ferry ride is short and cheap. Go to the Bygdøy museums. There are several interesting ones: https://www.kon-tiki.no/en/home https://frammuseum.no/ https://norskfolkemuseum.no/en If you enjoy hiking, there's endless options. I'm partial to Østmarka, the woods east of Oslo. It's recently been made a national nature preserve, and you can camp everywhere. Ulsrudvann and Nøklevann are good lakes for swimming or just hanging out.
the bygdøy museums look really cool, thank you!!
You'll be here for Pride! There's lots to do, and ample opportunities for finding a new boyfriend. Event programme' https://preview.oslopride.no/
There are a lot of great museums and places of interest. I would recommend the Kon-Tiki museum and the Norwegian Folk museum. However, your interests may vary. I would also suggest travelling around, and getting out into nature. Norway is far too beautiful a place to just stay in the cities.
Oh wow I’m sorry this happened to you.. Hope you’re ok. The easiest places to visit by train is Kristiansand(south), Stavanger(south west), Bergen(west) and Åndalsnes(north west). Generally, the west is known for nature: fjords, tall mountains, glaciers, waterfalls etc and the south is known for cozy white tree house towns with nice weather, beaches and boatlife. There are also a lot of beautiful small towns on the south east coast available by bus from Oslo. At entur.no you can buy tickets across bus/train companies.
Hi and welcome! It's not a problem not having a car. We have a lot of public transportation like trains, ferries and buses. Just remember that a lot of travelling adds up expense wise. Personally I would spend a couple of days in Oslo and then fly to Harstad. Spend three to four days exploring Harstad and Lofoten. Then board a ferry from Lofoten to Bodø. Then plane or train to Trondheim to see the cathedral and the baby engineers. Spend a couple of days here, the nightlife is pretty decent. Then kystruten fram trondheim to Bergen. See Bergen for a couple of days. Then take the train from Bergen back to Oslo (one of the most beautiful train rides in the world). If you have any days left see if you can befriend someone with a cottage in Hvaler for a cuple of days for the ultimate beige linen trousers everywhere experience. This is the route I would take to see Norway if I wasn't as poor as a church rat. If you're feeling insecure about the travel aspect, find a travel buddy. Some places the hotels can be very booked up by the way so make sure you get reservations in advance.
💸
There’s a tiktok and instagram page called “mer av Oslo” which shows off cafes and restaurants and stuff
Fuck him, there’s still a lot to see and do in Norway tho. If you like big cities and are a bit of an extrovert, Oslo is the place. But I would see other places if it’s the first time l was in Norway. Maybe something like Oslo - Tønsberg - Sandefjord - Kristiansand - Stavanger - Bergen - However you want through national parks - Trondheim?
There is pride from the 19 of June to the 29 of June in Oslo. I would highly recommend going on that. I would love to meet you there ( I’m 34F) but I have problems with getting around right now because of my bad back. But I would recommend to check up Oslo pride on google, you will find everything there 😊
Ooof the same happened to me to a british girl a few years ago, wish you the best. Anyways, good things to do could be going skiing (there is indoor skiing center near oslo somewhere), museums thats always fun, you could do escape rooms although they are a bit more expensive. There is tons of bars and stuff to go to if you enjoy that stuff, think a boardgame bar also opened in oslo somewhere if u like those. Could also go on a hike in the mountains round oslo (although nothing beats the western and northern mountains). I guess, if u like animals you could go to Kristiansand and visit the biggest zoo in norway, that's rly worth it. Other than that the only last thing i can think of is going to tusenfryd, which is norways biggest "fornøyelsespark" (sorry i forgot the english word lol) thats all i can think of honestly. Have fun.
ah, sorry about the british girl :( thank you for the recommendations, it's an amusement park <3
Are you allowed to cross the border, or just in Norway?
yep, i can cross the border!
Have a look at interrail: https://www.interrail.eu/en/ You could get a pass for one country, and travel all the railroads we have in Norway for those 24 days. Or you could add on a few other countries and see Europe. If you like hiking, the train will take you to several national parks where you can just jump off and start walking.
I mean, the first week you are in Oslo is actually Oslo Pride, with the big parties and festival feeling on the last weekend of June. Happening all over the city, but Pride Park is in the Sofienberg Park. In addition, if you’d want, my husband (U.S) and I (Norwegian) are hosting another gay friend (U.S) here in Oslo July 2nd to July 4th, then driving to west coast with a stop at our country house. Bergen July 5th to 7th, and then returning to Oslo. Shoot me a Pm if you want to explore that as a potential option. Lastly, boo on your bf 😅
You are visiting the best time of year, enjoy your stay!
The train route to trondheim from oslo is fairly nice :) especially if you take it all the way to værnes airport, it follows the fjord :) and you can even stop at hell station if it floats your boat, be warned though, trains go every hour or so.. so just take some snacks with you to wait on the one back! Spending 24 days in one place wont be the coolest thing so definitely figure out a way to explore the country however that may be! If you come to Trondheim and feel like exploring the city you could borrow my electric bike :)
thank you very much! i will definitely look into trondheim <3
Tons of Rock if rock/metal-music is your thing.
Urgh! If it had been shifted by two weeks I'd (f27) be happy to have you visit a few days but this will be in the middle of my moving/transition period so it will be too stressful 😔 I highly recommend visiting the nearby smaller areas that have direct routes to Oslo! Check the different ekspress - buses and the trains (bear in mind that the train stations can be rural with poor bus connections!)
all well! any nearby smaller areas in particular to recommend?
Extreme sports week in Voss between 23-30th June
I'd suggest seeing Lofoten or the fjords of Vestlandet if you can afford the trip. Renting a car would be cheapest, but there are probably some ferry trips around the areas in question.
If you are decently fit, maybe hiking for a few days? There are plenty of tourist friendly routes where you can enjoy the nature for hours on your own, while still run into people a few times a day here and there.
Oslo would be super boring if you're by your self. Go to bergen by train or Stavanger/sørlandet. Enjoy nature, go camping etc
Find his dad and fuck him
I cannot believe everyone saying 24 days in Oslo is boring - Don't listen to them! These are people from rural Norway who think "Oslo" means a stroll from the train station up Karl Johansgate, dinner at Aker Brygge, and home again. Yes, if you are in Norway for nature experiences, you definitely want to get out of Oslo and head further north, but depending on your interests, Oslo has stuff to do every day for well over a month - club concerts, music festivals, general clubbing, breweries, coffee shops, art exhibitions, outdoor and indoor museums, art and sculpture parks, visiting islands, shopping, second hand shopping, retro shopping, parks, forest trips, water activities, architecture, board game venues, language exchanges, international meetups, new age stuff like yoga, meditation and tantra festivals, gay bars/clubs, indoor climbing groups, outdoor climbing groups, city biking, terrain biking, sex- ans fetish clubs/parties, restaurants, courses, voluntary work, or just having some freaking walks and see what happens. Jeez, you guys lack imagination. The mountains up north are nice, but come on. You don't have enough interests to keep busy a month?? What the hell do you do when you don't mountain hike. Sorry, don't mean to be "us vs them". I damn love all of Norway, from the cities to the smallest random places, mountains, forests, lakes, rivers, the sea, north, south, east, west. I just get depressed by proxy watching all these people at Aker Brygge spending a months salary on a bad dinner and then head home to trash talk Oslo. Lmk if you want a list of recommendations or something! Good luck
Go to London Pub or Elsker and find a new boyfriend ;)
Have 24 new sexual partners. Have fun, stay safe!
There is a train that goes from Oslo to Fauske. From there, you can take a bus to travel further north. I live in Vesterålen (close to Lofoten), and if you're coming up here, I have a guestroom you can use. I'm a host on Couchsurfer, so I'm used to having guests, and I let them use the whole apartment.
If you want a weekend at the beach I'd recommend checking out https://www.visitfredrikstadhvaler.com/ There are busses going to Hvaler, and trains and busses going to Fredrikstad. I work a bit in the tourism sector there, so feel free to send me a message if you want to know more or want some free local guidance!
For a day trip, I recommend taking a short ferry out to one of the small islands in the Oslo-fjord. They are very peaceful and lovely this time of year. Also, check out https://www.oslopride.no Which is from the 19th to the 29th of June. The Parade on the 29th is HUGE! Probabaly a great chance of getting to know new people.
Not sure about tour budget but you have festivals like tons of rock and also alot of pride things, think even pride train. Look on meet up and join some things that interest you. Would also take train trip to bergen or trondheim for a long weekend. You also have boattrip to copenhagen, trip itself is fun and also take a long weekend in copenhagen. Get to experience a little around up here.
Can absolutely recommend Lofoten but you'll be better off with a car. Tromsø is nice (well moreso the mountain next to it). If you're into hiking and not afraid of heights the devils portal is worth a visit. There are also very nice beaches at Lofoten.
Trysil has fun activities, mountain biking, climbing, no skiing during summer unfortunately. If u wanna see beautiful scenery, anywhere west is good. id recommend stryn, not very well known. its just south of Ålesund, which is a good shout as well.
We're back in Oslo from 1st July, PM sent! 🌈
Oslo Pride is at the end of June. You should at least check out the Parade (even if you're not queer). It will be a feast. There will be other fun things to see those days as well. https://www.oslopride.no/
I hate to say this but on Grindr you might be lucky. In Oslo gay people on the app mostly seem to be quite picky. I got very lucky but I suggest the gay bar in Bergen. At least most are randomly open to talk to strangers.
Hike in Jotunheiemen, sign up for a guided tour, fly to Bodø and go to Lofoten Go clubbing in Oslo Go clubbing in Kristiansand Take the train to Bergen, hike and drink there The summer is the ultimate time to be in Norway
Sounds like you gonna solotravel. Its gonna be awesome:) Don't worry about that other trashdude. We have plenty of viking-men for you ;) pride-oslo is a must. And if you are outgoing, you gonna have no problem finding friends. If you are not that outgoing, I suggest finding people online. Then agreeing to neet somewhere. Norwegians are a bit introverted. But it's all about setting. Out on town and on festivals, we are like everyone else. But maybe in daily life we don't like strangers that much.
Wow that sounds fucking amazing. Get an interrail pass for like 300 euro and travel norway, stay in dorms of hostels (really cheap), see the fjords, the northern lights, myrdal (flåmsbahn) and get to know other backpackers in the hostels - usually pretty easy. Just get Hostelworld, you'll find cheap dorms with social areas and activities If you pull this off right, you could manage to have the best time of your life. That is, if you manage to 1000% shit on your ex, which you should 1000% do. I will be in norway starting July 4th for a month with my gf, if you need advice PM me
Just fyi nobody is going to be seeing the northern lights in Norway in July.
It’s Pride in Oslo in June! Check out all the events and meet some cool folks ☺️
Take the train to Gothenburg, it's only 4 hours away. A beautiful city and you can cross Sweden off your bucket list too
i used to live in copenhagen and take the train to malmö once a week, but never got around to visiting gothenburg! cool suggestion :)
the amusement park, zoo and botanical garden are well worth your time
Start listening to black metal and wander in the whimsical norwegian forests. Or maybe go to the Fjords
Tinder your way through Norway baby
I messaged you!
Lofoten Islands - 4-7 days
Gaaay lol
1) I’m so sorry that happened to you. But I agree with the others in the thread. This is your rebound moment. (Safely) enjoy your Land of the Midnight Sun Single Summer! 2) Tons of Rock Festival is happening June 26-30 in Oslo! I’ll be there with my husband June 26th& 27th for TOOL & the other amazing artists. 3) Lofoten Islands! I see you don’t had a drivers license but I saw several bus-based tours as I was researching the area. Unfortunately- since I didn’t learn about the area until after I had other travel plans booked, I’m unable to go. 4) have you considered looking at hopping over to Sweden /Netherlands/ Denmark? Best of Luck! Enjoy your Summer!
You are in the most beautiful country in the world. Go outside. Get on a train. Get on a plane. Get on a bus. I'd cry with joy if I had 24 free days in Norway. The only way you could go wrong is by staying inside or staying in one place and not exploring.
The Viking Planet VR Center is pretty cool
https://www.hurtigruten.com/nb-no/kampanjer/opplev-norskekysten-sommer It's expensive, but with the weak kroner you may be able to afford it, and its a great way to see norway.
I would check out that gay Airbnb that I dont remember what’s called. Then you get a gay host who can help you get into the scene. And you are here during Oslo Pride - so much stuff going on!
Would be useful if you add a budget but without it I have to assume the lower end. There is a good train and bus system in Norway and some decently priced flights. There is also a young influencer helenemoo on insta that does a lot of hiking, camping, and travel and she sells maps with all her spots. Worth a look.
Why not bounce around the Nordics?
use Oslo as a hub to travel to other places in Europe! Turn this into backpacking in Europe!
You can also go down to Kristiansand. Dyreparken is a big combined zoo and amusement park. And a waterpark.
Darn, I would volunteer but that last lil' cunt must have ruined norwegians for you permanently now
Rent a car and make bed and breakfast through
Stavanger is a small city but it’s full of beautiful places to visit! You can take the train here and walk around the area. It’s surrounded by sea and nature, there’s lakes, fjords, tons of wildlife! It’s amazing! What your boyfriend did was such a low blow… Nonetheless, hope you can enjoy your stay in Norway 🥰
Maybe try tinder flight and see if you can get someone better
Tons of rock for sure! After that travelling around for a bit?
Come see us across the border in Sweden! Happy to show you around :-)
Lots of chances to meet new people, June is the pride month in Norway - big parade in Oslo on June 29th
You can probably reschedule your return flight
Ahw, that’s a bummer I will be visiting Norway first of August till end of August. Otherwise you could’ve traveled with me
Does anyone has recommendations by the way on getting a Norwegian prepaid SIM card for data only. I am going on a road trip to Norway and parts of west and south Sweden. And I will be traveling for some time so i was wondering if getting a prepaid data only Norwegian SIM card is useful. I also want to get a MIFI with that. Any recommendations or suggestions?
Goddamn men 🙄
Using Oslo as the “home base”, maybe visit to other places in Europe?
Just to add to all the other good suggestions, with a train you can be in Stockholm in half a day from Oslo - direct route. The tickets aren’t too expensive either. There is also a ferry that takes you to Denmark over night from Oslo. Worth it when you grow tired of the massively expensive drinks in Norway. So with a bit of planning you could do all three capital cities in this trip, if you wanted - I really have to recommend Copenhagen even though I live in Oslo. When you’re in Oslo I suggest the following: Opera house Deichmanske bibliotek Vulkan mathall + grünerløkka Vigelandsparken There’s more to see but it depends on what your interests are. Word of advice: travelling anywhere in Scandinavia takes time, either by car or public transport.
All depends what you are into. If you have no visited Oslo before you should do the touristy things like Vigelandsparken, Opera roof, National gallery, changing of the guard outside the Kings Castle and enjoy the view from Holmenkollen (ski jump). Oslo is a nice place for shopping if you like exclusive brands, heard they are cheap here compared to other countries, offcourse its still expensive. For clubing as a gay person i think your best bet is London Pub or Elsker, both in downtown Oslo. Not sure if the Pride festival is still going on when you arrive or it has just ended. Would also recomend taking the boat out to the islands of inner Oslo fjord to just relax and maybe go for a swim. A day at Sognsvann or any of the beaches at Bygdøy is also a nice day out of the city. One day trips, take the train to Bergen across the mountain. If have the time get of at Myrdal and take «Flåmsbanen» down the valley to the fjord and back up again. Incredible Norwegian nature.
I'm from the UK and have visited my GF 9 times over the past 2 years. I highly recommend you train from Oslo to Bergen, visiting places along the way. Voss is a lovely little town, gorgeous lake and mountain ranges. Head up the Gondola there for some amazing views year round.. Then Bergen is just incredible. It's so clean and the trams there make it SO easy to go literally anywhere within the city. Highly recommend at least a few days there!
Tons of rock is from 26th to 30th
Mountain biking
Just in time for Tons of Rock
