Oslo – An outdoor summer paradise

Oslo is a fantastic city to visit during the summer. Try a refreshing dip in the water from one of the many islands or beaches only minutes away from the city centre by public transport. Due to the Gulf Stream a swim in the Oslo Fjord can be surprisingly pleasant with water temperatures up to 23 degrees Celsius.

Only 15 minutes away from the city’s water front, you can enjoy hiking in the idyllic Oslo forest. Signposted hiking trails will help you find your way and most of the trails are also accessible for mountain bikes. Should you need to cool down, you can stop for a swim in one of the many picturesque lakes.

For people-watching and a fresh sea breeze, go to Aker Brygge and Tjuvholmen harbour. Here you will find an abundance of restaurants and bars where you can sit outside enjoying the bustling nightlife into the long hours of the bright summer night.
