With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Gjovik, 20 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here should be Galleri Svae, Lekeland and Hugulia. Hamar is another wonderful option. It’s 30 miles away and has a variety of interesting things to do. Vikingskipet Arena, Viking Ship Sports Arena and CC Hamar are just the start.
