Torshovdalen
Torshovdalen, 0475 Oslo, Norge 1 h 30 min
Torshovdalen might be the park with the best view in Oslo. It slopes downwards, so you can see all the way to the fjord on clear days. There’s way more space here than in the smaller parks at Grünerløkka. It’s easy to find a spot on the grass where you won't be bothered.
Why it works
It’s low-key. You can just go for a stroll or sit in the grass without things feeling stiff or formal.
What to order
Bring a blanket and maybe a frisbee if you like staying active.
Best time to go
Afternoon sun on weekends.
What it costs
Free
