For a more adventurous experience, consider booking a sailing trip or even a catamaran ride with SailNorway to enjoy the Oslofjord’s stunning scenery.

Tjuvholmen

This small island is connected to Aker Brygge by a pedestrian bridge. It offers a unique urban beach, Strandparken where you can relax, sunbathe, or swim during the summer months.

Akershus Fortress

Though not directly related to water activities, Akershus Fortress is located on the water’s edge and offers a glimpse into Oslo’s history. You can explore the fortress grounds and enjoy a beautiful view of the fjord.
