Coming with a cruiseship is a wonderful experience, 150 miles long. Lots of sailing boats and cabin cruisers will follow as long it is possible. A guided tour is absolutely recommended

The Oslo fjord is beautiful. There are loads of small islands and seaside villages as you move down the fjord. Get one of the commuter boats to one of the islands or Drøbak and enjoy a day on the fjord. The views towards the land is also good.

Nice view of the water. In the summer months it is very nice to sit on the seaside and watch the boats etc.

Since I was a kid in 6th grade at school and saw a photo of a fjord in a geography book, I have wanted to see a fjord with my own eyes and experience a boat ride in the process. This two hour boat ride in the Oslofjorden was somewhat of a disappointment in that there weren't the high mountains... More

The Oslo Fjord offers sailing, swimming and nice ferryboats out to little islands. Summertime you can hand out late into the night.

Oslo must be enjoyed from both land and sea. Use one of the many opportunities to get out on the sea and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere of the sea, boats and beautiful scenery. Take sightseeing boats from pier at the town hall or one of the boats from Vippetangen going to the islands in the Oslo Fjord. Beautiful recreational use.... More

summer on or by the fjord is the epitomy of a Scandinavian summer, try to rent a boat or use the ferry to the Bygdoy peninsula at the same cost of a bus ticet.

If you are in Oslo for only a few days and don't have time to travel to the more famous fjords (Geiranger, Hardanger, Nordfjord, Sognefjord etc) then this is the closest you can get to a fjord. You can take ferries at regular intervals to the islands of Hovedøya, Lindøya, Nakholmen, Bleikøya, Gressholmen, and Langøyene. Hovedøya is the biggest, closest... More
