The Oslo Fjord

The Oslo fjord is the Norway’s most popular recreation area. The Oslo fjord is a long gem, 100 km between Færder lighthouse to Oslo, and it is encircled by the country’s most densely populated area.

In the summer the Oslo fjord comes to life. Only minutes from Oslo by ferry, you can enjoy yourself in the sun on one of the islands. On Hovedøya you can glance at the busy city while you enjoy the tranquillity and fresh air on the beach.

Each of the islands in the innermost part of the fjord has its own identity and distinguishing history. Here you find Hovedøya, Lindøya, Nakholmen, Bleikøya, Gressholmen, and Langøyene. These islands can easily be reached with the Oslo-boats from Vippetangen. 

Norwegians have a strong and close relationship with boating, and this is evident in the Oslo fjord. In the summer a great variety of activities like kayaking, canoeing, fishing and sailing is available if you want to enjoy the outdoors the active way!
