Do you click on every travel deal that drops into your inbox? Catch yourself frequently stalking travel hashtags? It's time for an escape and Toyen, a neighbourhood in Oslo, is yelling your name. With around 600,000 people calling the capital of Norway home, you're bound to meet some new friends (or maybe even a new bae) while you're in town. After touching down and picking up your suitcase at Gardermoen Airport, your ride will head 35 kilometres southwest to take you to Toyen. From the centre of the city, it's a drive of 2 kilometres to the east.
With many of the city's best attractions close by, Toyen is a wonderland for sightseers. From Royal Palace to Oslo Opera House, there's lots to keep visitors like yourself busy. After taking a look at those, you'll want to continue onwards to the Munch Museum and the Viking Ship Museum. For a better perspective of this amazing city as a whole, spend time in the nearby neighbourhoods of Gronland and Gamle Oslo.
Just can't wait to visit Gustav Vigeland Sculpture Park? Sitting just 5 kilometres to the northwest, it'll be no problem accessing this big-name sight from Toyen.
The centre of the city also features a collection of sights to feast your eyes upon, such as Parliament and the National Gallery. To get an even better feel for your surrounds, also call in at the Kon Tiki Museum and Frogner Park.
Need a break from the kids? Look up a babysitter and go to Mathallen Oslo, Honse-Lovisas Hus, Alna Equestrian Center and the Rignes Brewery.
The area's numerous cultural attractions, such as the Oslo Ladegard, the CAK Center for African Culture, the Mini Bottle Gallery and the Bygdelagssamskipnaden, really can't be missed!
Sometimes an artwork can inspire you so much that you just have to learn about its background. See if the staff are available to chat about the works at the Vigeland Museum, the Museum For Contemporary Art, the International Museum of Childrens Art and the Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art.
If you find yourself stuck in some miserable weather, head for shelter at the Nobel Peace Center, the Fram Museum, the Norwegian Resistance Museum and the Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology. The intriguing displays are sure to keep your brain buzzing and your body dry!
What nicer way to top off a day's sightseeing than with dinner, drinks and a show? Check the programme guides at the National Theater, Oslo Spektrum, Rockefeller Music Hall and the Norwegian Theatre.
There's nothing like holidaying with lively kids to help you see life in a new light. Embrace the child within and have fun at the National Library, the Cinemateket and Round Bygdoy.
Are the kids getting tired of all the sightseeing? Take some time out and head over to one of the nearby family-friendly attractions. Hopp i Havet, the Harald Huysman Karting, Toyenbadet Public Bath and Frognerbadet Open-Air Public Bath are some much-loved options.
Put your phone away, unplug yourself from the stresses of the modern world and take in the serenity of the outdoors at the Palace Park, Langoyene, Hovedoya and Ekebergparken Sculpture Park.
Take a stroll around the Oslo Botanic Garden, Ostensjovannet Nature Reserve and Ostensjovannet Naturreservat. If you're lucky, you may even catch sight of some of the local animals!
If the vigour of city life is becoming too much, recharge your batteries with a visit to one of the nearby parks. Birkelunden, St. Hanshaugen Park, Toyen Park and Sofienberg Park are wonderful places to kick back and relax.
Quite often, the best way to get to know a new place is by hanging out at the shops. Make sure you call in to Oslo City Shopping Centre, Byporten Shopping Centre and Storo Storsenter.
Peer back through the mists of time at Akershus Fortress, the Aker Brygge, Oslo City Hall and Henrik Ibsen Museum. These age-old places have a collection of illuminating tales to tell.
Oslo Cathedral, Old Aker Church, Sagene Church and Ris Church offer sightseers a chance to better understand the region's spiritual side.
Feel the icy cold breeze on your face as you shred down the slopes at Leirskallen Ski Centre, Oslo Ski Center and Varingskollen Alpine Center.
Whether you back a team or just want to enjoy the intoxicating atmosphere, don't miss out on purchasing tickets to a game at Ullevaal Stadium. Don't be shy to join in any songs, chants or Mexican waves that happen while you're there, especially if hometown heroes the Norway National Team or the Valerenga Football are on the field!
If you're hunting for a budget room without all the extras, the Cochs Pensjonat, situated at Parkveien 25, is one of your best bets. Another place that provides good service at an affordable price is the Oslo Vandrerhjem Haraldsheim, which can be found at Haraldsheimveien 4. Though, if you'd rather relax in luxury on holiday, THE THIEF or the First Hotel Grims Grenka might be a better fit.
Of course, another good option is to stay near Royal Palace. You can do this by booking a room at the Hotel Continental, situated just 0.5 kilometres away. Also popular is the Hotel Christiania Teater, an Ascend Hotel Collection Member, 0.6 kilometres away.
