The cutting new edge of Oslo with great architecture, good bars and nice people. Walk, Relax, Shop with a wide range of distractions to pass the time. In no way traditional or complete... More developments planned.

We found ourselves in Aker Brygge after getting off the water shuttle from Bygdoy (which I highly recommend) and thought we would stop for dinner. Restaurants were crowded and nothing seemed reasonably priced. We got ice cream instead and enjoyed the people watching.

without a doubt Oslo's meeting point... nice place to walk around, to shop and to dine... if you are a tourist you can't miss it... be prepared for high prices and if possible make reservation in advanced... the architecture and the city views are worth the walking... you can even walk from Aker Brygge to the opera house (or backward)...

We had read lots of tourist guides about Oslo and they all raved about Aker Brygge so we had to go! Unfortunately when we were there ourselves there was no atmosphere, the cafes and restaurants were mostly chains we could eat in at home and the shops were no different. The only positive about Aker Brygge was that we could... More

Quite frankly this area is probably one of the most expensive and overrated areas in Oslo, even the whole of Norway - if you're talking about shopping and restaurants. You should go to enjoy the view of the fortress and the harbour, but stay away from spending any money here, unless you really can afford it. For a real piece... More

Aker Brygge is great for shopping and dining. Lot´s of cafés and restaurants. I think it was about 30-40 different choices. About 70 different stores. Fantastic views until the Oslofjord and just 4-5 min walkingdistance from Karl Johans street. Very clean area.

It's a nice area to walk along and maybe grab an ice cream, but the restaurants (besides the token McDonalds...) are quite expensive. Nice atmosphere along the walkway though. Mall is decent - has some nice stores, but again a lot of them are on the expensive side.

My wife and I just returned from a day trip to Oslo. It was about an hours flight to Oslo Torp from London Stansted and another hour from Oslo Torp to the Oslo City Centre Bus Terminal. We spent the entire day by the bayside in "Aker Brygge" (15 minutes walking distance from the main bus station) and would recommend... More
