Botanisk hage
Sars gate 1, 0562 Oslo 1 h 30 min
A green escape at Tøyen with thousands of plants and trees. You can wander between the greenhouses or find a bench in the rock garden. Even though it's central, it's so quiet here. It feels like stepping into a different world for an hour or so.
Why it works
It’s free and low-pressure. You instantly relax the moment you walk through the gate.
What to order
Head into the Victoria House if it rains; it's warm and tropical in there.
Best time to go
May and June when everything is blooming.
What it costs
0–100 NOK for two
