Ekeberg Stairs
1179 Oslo, Norge 1 h 30 min
The stairs and paths winding up the Ekeberg slope are a really nice route. You'll get your heart rate up a bit while the view of the Oslo Fjord just keeps getting better with every step. It’s a nice mix of nature and cool stairs that makes the walk feel like something more than just a regular hike. You'll often see joggers, but there's plenty of room to walk slowly and just look at the city.

What to order
Take a break in the sculpture park at the top once you've made it up the stairs.
Best time to go
