Three nights split between central Oslo and countryside Jevnaker, where the Twist gallery at Kistefos Museum bends 60 meters across a river as both bridge and exhibition space – named by The New York Times as a must-see destination. The journey moves from Oslo's National Museum and Opera House to Kistefos' sculpture park, where international artists share grounds with Norway's industrial heritage. Your included guided tour covers the collection before you explore independently. At Hadeland Glassverk, the country's oldest working glass workshop, weekend visitors can try glassblowing alongside master craftspeople using techniques from 1762. The format delivers high culture and hands-on craft in equal measure. Perfect for culturally curious travelers travelers who appreciate modern architecture and want substance beyond standard city break activities. Optional Michelin dining bookends your urban exploration while the countryside stay provides direct access to two significant cultural destinations without day-trip logistics from the capital.
