Aker Brygge

Vibrant seafront scene

Stranden
Aker Brygge
Oslo 0250
Norway
+47 22 83 2680

The old workshops belonging to Akers Mekaniske Verksted on the seafront beneath the town hall have been converted into what is, especially in the summer, one of Oslo's most popular shopping and nightlife areas. There are places to eat and shop, art galleries, theatres, an IMAX and a regular cinema. A walk along the waterfront is a great way to spend a fine summer afternoon. Take trams 10 or 15 or walk from Akershus fortress past a children's play area and numerous ice-cream stalls.

Lekter'n Barge

For sunny days Stranden 3
Aker Brygge
Oslo 0150
Norway
+47 22 83 0060 Lekter'n is only open during the warmer period of the year, since this is an outdoor restaurant and pub on a barge by Aker Brygge. The location is ideal, with a view over the city in one direction, and over the Oslo fjord in the other. From Lekter'n you can watch the ferries arriving from Denmark, together with sailboats and fishing boats. Turn your head the other way and watch myriads of people strolling on the seafront. This is one of Oslo's biggest outdoor pubs, with room for several hundred people. Do not forget your sunglasses.

The museum concentrates on the development of actual skating equipment, although it also looks at major events and personalities (such as Johann Olav Koss and Oscar Mathisen) in speed skating. At the opposite end of the stadium, there is even a small statue of Mathisen.
