Norsk Folkemuseum
Museumsveien 10, 0287 Oslo, Norge 2 h 30 min
This is basically a time machine and a nice walk combined. The museum at Bygdøy has old houses from all over Norway, including a real stave church. It feels more like walking through a small village than a museum. You can peek into the old rooms or just stroll around in the sun. There's plenty of space and it's very relaxed.
Why it works
It's easy to keep the conversation going when there's something new to see around every corner.
What to order
Check out the stave church and take a coffee break at the cafe in the middle.
Best time to go
A sunny day during the summer months.
What it costs
400–500 NOK
