Hammock Trip to Vettakollen
Vettakollen, Oslo, Norge 3 hours
A decent walk from the metro takes you to one of the best views of the city. Up here, there are plenty of trees spaced just right. It's great for hanging two hammocks side by side while looking out at the fjord. The woods are lush, but the trail is easy to follow.
Why it works
You get that expedition feel without having to plan too much. The view makes the conversation flow easier.
What to order
Fill a thermos with coffee and grab a couple of fresh buns from a bakery on your way up.
Best time to go
The hour before the sun goes down.
What it costs
Free
