 | Oslo Aker Brygge Reviews | 11 - 20 of 48 |  |
Aker brygge is an area by the harbour of Oslo - with mostly brand new buildings where once there probably were boat docks. It's quite interesting for its architecture - with a preference for glass. It's also a pedestrain area so its nice to walk around... there are plenty of very expensive shops and 35 places where to have dinner or lunch... not cheap places - but the food is supposed to be good nearly all over. In summer, in particular, it should be possible to eat by the sea.
While you walk around the area pay a closer look at some of the statues... most are either interesting or captivating. I found this one of a couple talking at a bar/restaurant table very enjoyable.

Aker Brygge - Aker harbour - is situated in central Oslo, close to the City Hall and Akershus Fortress.
The former shipyard of Akers Mek. was shut down in the early 1980ies, and the area thoroughly renovated and converted to a modern centre with around 70 shops and 40 bars, pubs and restaurants, cinema, offices and apartments. Aker Brygge now has a pleasant mix of old and new architecture, and the area is a pedestrianised zone.
The Aker Brygge area is known to be pretty expensive, and if you're on a strict budget this is probably not where you'll want to have dinner (or buy an apartment;o) - but it's still a nice and relaxing place for a walk and some people-watching (and yacht-watching!). Buy an ice cream, sit down on the wooden dock and enjoy the view over to Akershus fortress. Or, if you'd like to spend a little more money: buy fresh shrimps from the fishing boats at Rådhusbrygga. There are also several boats moored here that act as bars and cafes. (But this is definitely *not* the place for cheap beers!)
Aker Brygge is not at all a bad place to spend a warm summer evening - a visit here is highly recommended!

The Eternal Peace Flame was initially installed as a temporary donation to the city of Oslo from Sri Chinmoy. The original location was at the Pier of Honor, which is the pier of the King of Norway
The Eternal Peace Flame is a striking engineering marvel with numerous state-of-the-art controls enabling it to stay alight even during the most inclement weather
In 2002, the Eternal Peace Flame was installed permanently at Aker Brygge, a complex on the Oslo Harbor frequented by hundreds of thousands of people each year

Aker Brygge is former shipyard area in Oslo harbour, right next to the City Hall and its plaza. In the last two decades a large development program was launched and today the area has been turned into a big centre with shops, restaurants, bars and pubs. At a cost of over 2.3 million Kroner, This is now one of Oslos most popular attractions with over 6 million visitors a year.
The area is packed with shops, theatres, cinemas and many restaurants and cafes all along the waterfront harbour. Especially on hot sunny summer evenings the cafes and restaurants are crowded with locals and tourists, who like to enjoy Oslo's expensive beer.
Be aware that because of its presige as the place to be seen in Oslo, prices are considerably higher than almost anywhere else in town so be warned.
