Top 10 Bodies of Water in Oslo, Eastern Norway
The 1000-year-old Norwegian capital sits at the head of Oslo Fjord. This stunning setting gives hints of the wild wonders that lie just beyond the city. From taking in visual delights at Vigeland Sculpture Park, the Viking Ship Museum, the Munch Museum and Holmenkollen, to the challenging content within the new Nobel Peace Centre and the Holocoust Center, Oslo offers plenty of food for thought. The Oslo Pass allows free travel on public transport, free parking and many museum and sight admissions.

One of most delightful, romantic two-wheel rides in Oslo. Lush woods, park-like countryside, view of the sea, swimming areas, historic buildings and the royal cows are some of the sights to see along the way. Arrive from Aker Brygge via the 3-km cycle route along Frognerstranda to Hengesengveien, Bygdoy. Continue to Holsts vei - Rideveien - Huk - P.T. Mallingsvei - Langviksvei - Huk Aveny - Museumsveien - Wedels vei - Dronning Biancas vei Distance: 7 km Incline: insignificant Roadway: primarily fine gravel roads

Well, if you are in Oslo for more than a day or two, this is definitely a place to go ... there is the Viking Ship museum (with the real ships on display!) and the cultural heritage museum ( VERY worthwhile), as well as the Kontiki museum with the raft in all its glory (most interesting to kids between 6 and 12). You can get it all as part of the Oslo card (or whatever it's called now). Very good public transport there and back. You can even take a ferry one way (or both ways). Requires some resilience in terms of walking and going through the exhibits. Not recommended for old or tired people.

It definitely worths to catch the ferry at Oslo City Hall and go to Lindoya as one of the favourite hideaway spot of folks in Oslo. Nature is amazing.

About an hour of walking. You walk by the water and its a great walk with a beautiful view for sure! Also so many cute birds???? If you go here in winter make sure to have enough clothes. When we were here people were ice scating on the water as well. The metro goes here so its easy to get here. The stop is «skøyenåsen».

The river Akerselva runs from Maridalsvannet through the centre of Oslo and into the Oslo Fjord. The river is 8 km of recreation, through forests and industrial history, fishing, swimming and several waterfalls. The highest waterfall is next to Honse-Lovisas hus (a small, red house) and the Beier bridge.

We took a walk along the Akerselva River and were really surprised to see water falls, rapids, etc - lovely walk even though mid-winter. Along the way there is plenty to stop to look at, bars, cafes, shops, etc.
