Boat and Ferry Travel

A ferry to Hovedøya and other islands in the harbor basin leaves from Aker Brygge. These are great spots for picnics and short hikes. From April through September, ferries run between Rådhusbrygge 3, in front of City Hall, and Bygdøy, the western peninsula, where many of Oslo's major museums are located. There is also ferry service from Aker Brygge to the town of Nesodden, as well as to popular summer beach towns along the fjord's coast, including Drøbak. Several ferry lines also connect Oslo with the United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden, and Germany.
