The Oslo Fjord and the islands near Oslo

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.

Huk
Hovedøya is most famous for its monestary ruins, Gressholmen for its rabbits, Nakholmen, Bleikøya, Lindøya for their cosy cabins at the water’s edge, and finally Langøyene for its camping possibilities and pleasant beach.

The coast is also lined with gems. On Bygdøy you find some of Norway’s most popular beaches; Huk and Paradisbukta. Here you can combine a visit to the Viking Ship Museum or Kon-Tiki with a refreshing swim in the fjord.

Norwegians have a strong and close relationship with boating, and this is evident in the Oslo fjord. In the summer there are boats of all sizes on the fjord, and it is possible to go kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and sailing if you wish to enjoy the outdoors! Here you find activities for both adults and children.
