Oslo Konserthus
Munkedamsveien 14, 0115 Oslo 2 h 30 min
The Concert Hall in Vika is the spot for big sound. The hall is built so the music really hits you, whether it's a full orchestra or something more stripped back. It feels a bit "proper" to go here, but it's not stiff. You can mingle in the foyer and look out over the city during the break.
Why it works
You can just sit back and take it all in without feeling the need to talk constantly. The break is there to share your thoughts.
What to order
Look for the film music concerts. They play scores from famous movies, which is super easy to enjoy.
Best time to go
Thursday or Saturday evenings when the Philharmonic is playing.
What it costs
400–800 NOK per person
