Harald Huysman Karting
Smalvollveien 34, 0667 Oslo, Norge 1 h 30 min
If you like a bit of speed, go-karting at Alnabru is the way to go. You get a helmet and a car, and then you just hit the gas. After racing, you can grab a soda in the lounge and laugh about who drove the worst. It's a nice break from the usual bar scene.
Why it works
It's hard to be awkward when you're wearing a racing suit and competing for the best lap time.
What to order
Drive at least two sessions. The first is for learning the track; the second is when the real fun starts.
Best time to go
Thursday evenings, it's often a bit quieter then.
What it costs
600–900 NOK for two
