Akershus festning
0150 Oslo, Norge 1 h 30 min
Expect cobblestones, old walls, and great views of the Oslo Fjord. The area is open to everyone and acts as a quiet pocket right in the middle of the city buzz. There are lots of benches and corners to explore while watching the boats come into the harbor.
Why it works
If the conversation hits a lull, you can just talk about the view or the old cannons until you find your flow again.
What to order
Walk up from Kontraskjæret, follow the walls around the castle, and find the spot overlooking Aker Brygge.
Best time to go
Right before the sun goes down.
