Holmenkollen Ski Jump
Kongeveien 5, 0787 Oslo, Norge 2 hours
Head up to the top of the jump for what might be the best view in town. There's something about the fresh air and the height that makes conversation flow a bit easier. You can check out the Ski Museum if you want some history, or just wander around and look down at the Oslo Fjord. It feels like a quick escape from the city, even though the metro only takes twenty minutes.
