Perfect strolling along the waterfront with unique views of the water and the unusual architecture. This is where everyone congregates and is a perfect spot to sit and watch people. Perfect on a sunny day, slightly less than perfect when it rains. You will spend time here, and it is well spent.

There’s nothing better than a walk along the harbourfront. And Oslo doesn’t well with all the streets and cafes and walkways and easy access to all other places from here. There’s boat ports and ship port and it’s a very busy harbour and it’s great to just sit back and look at it all.

This was our first destination when we arrived. What a great way to take in the harbor, the old ships, the new ferries, the vendors and multitude of restaurants. There are even two areas where a beach type atmosphere thrives with sunbathers and swimmers.

Must see place to visit in Oslo for views, cruises, lunch/dinner with huge number of restaurants as well as the National Museum, Akershus Castle and fortress and on the beautiful Oslo Fjord. Felt very safe and comfortable daytime and nighttime with a real buzz from locals, business people and tourist.

I started my walk at the National Opera and Ballet and proceeded to the Munch Museum, There are beautiful, old-looking ships docked nearby, a big statue of a black woman, sauna areas, and neighborhood buildings.

The same things are true on the other side of the promenade: more museums, small parks and gardens, fortress and castle, ferry boats, restaurants, bars, etc.

Note that there are benches for one to sit down and rest from your walk. There are are also some FREE toilets along the way. Enjoy the views and your visit!

The views, new and old buildings, surroundings, restaurants and folk life makes this a very good way to take in the norwegian capital. Do not rush it, plan for stops and enjoy.

I was on a whistle stop tour of Oslo before i headed off to Bergen and i headed straight down to the Harbour area.
The Oslo Opera House is very impressive as is the new Munch Museum and all a short walk from the Oslo Central Train Station.

One of the best areas of the entire city. Beautiful afternoons everyday with the sunset. Hop on one of the ferrys or cruise and enjoy the sea

Oslo is very fortunate in having a long promenade with lots to see and do along it. It links many of the main sites together e,g. The new National Museum with the Opera House and Munch Museum

A splendid promenade from the trikk station to the tip of Tjuvholmen.

Stroll to the gleaming opera house, then all the way along the harbour to the Astrop Fearnley MOMA, and beyond to the beach park.

The promenade has one after another restaurants, bronze statuary of nautical themes, and ice cream kiosks.

Stop for lunch or dinner at the many seafood establishments, or a drink on the floating lounges.

This is the best place in Oslo for people-watching, enjoying the Oslofjord vistas, bird-watching, and a morning jog. A definite must when visiting Oslo!
