Parks & Nature
Sognsvann
Lovely place for a hike both in summer and winter!
Lovely island in the fjord. Go here for a BBQ and a swim. You can go here on a normal train/tube/bus ticket, so this is not hard to do at all. Boats run frequently in the summer!

Aker Brygge is known for its strip of restaurants along the boardwalk, with plenty of opportunities for al fresco wining and dining. There's also a wide selection of fashion shops, if you want to renew your wardrobe. On sunny days, Aker Brygge is teeming with activity round the clock, and it doesn't cost you anything to wander along the quay and enjoy the fresh sea air. Prices are steep..
