Aker Brygge, Oslo

Aker Brygge is the perfect place for a stroll on a nice summers afternoon. It has got lots to offer. From many restaurants, cafe's and bars, to a IMAX, cinema and a shopping mall, with a variety of shops to even please everyone in need of retail therapy.
During the summer months its one of the cities most popular nightlife areas, with many people coming to enjoy the nice weather and a few drinks.

For more than a houndred years this was a shipyard called 'Akers mek. verksted', but in 1982 the old wharf was turned into a modern place with restaurants, shops, offices, luxurious apartments and leisure-boat docks.

Today it is one of the most popular places in summer, and it's full of both locals and tourists. The prices can be a bit high here, so if you are on a budget it's better to eat and drink other places. But anyway you should visit this place at least once.

Right next to it lies the city hall, the old fortress, the dock for many of the cruiseships coming here and it's just a few minutes walk from the royal castle, the main street and many historical and important buildings.

An area of Oslo in the end of the Oslo fjord. About five/ten minute walk from central Oslo.

Amongst the harbour you'll find a shopping centre, as well as many outdoor and indoor resturants and cafés.

Really nice place, especially from april-september.

Aker brygge used to be a factory / wharf area. When the factory closed they modernised the whole area with a great success. It's a nice place to take a stroll, and there are some nice restaurants there. The prices however are a bit on the stiff side.

I think it’s a great place to sit and relax and just watch people and boats....

On a hot summers day this is the place. If you are lucky to find a seat, sit down outside and watch the boats, and all the people walking by. It seems like everybody is going here when the weather is good.
And there is also many good restaurants and interesting shops inside the buildings.

It used to be a dock. They eaven made oil drilling platforms here. Now it is a exclusive living and area . It is also a shopping area and a lot of restaurants here. It by the sea and the arcitecture is old dock buildings and new hightech arcitecture at the same time.

Once a year Oslo is part of the Formel1 boat race, which take part very close to the harbour in Oslo. Its a spectacular sight, and take place in late August every year. So if you are interested in speed, action, prominent people and lots of fun, make sure you check the World Cup timetable before deciding the dates for the visit. If you dont like this noisy sport, make sure you avoid the actual days...
