Hello.. We will be at the Oslofjord Convention Center for 7 days in early July. We will have a car. We are looking for
several different day trips that would be fun to take. We need to be back each evening for dinner so ideally it is not too long
of a drive. We are open to taking Trains too. Can you please recommend some fun things to do around that area?
Thanks so much!
There is a scenic route from Skien to Rjukan.
You'll be an hour or so out of Oslo and there's plenty to see and do there. There are toll roads with congestion pricing leading into the city: https://www.visitoslo.com/en/transport/by-car/toll-ring/. The Kongsberg Jazz Festival runs July 3-6 and is also a little over an hour away (northwest of Stokke). American a capella group Take 6 is a featured artist this year (July 4). The Porsgrund Porcelain Factory, which includes a factory outlet and a museum, is less than an hour away to the west in Porsgrunn.
These are both GREAT idea's. Thanks so much! Keep em coming!
