Oslo Harbour

The port of Oslo

The port of Oslo extends at the end of the fjord, in the heart of the town turned towards the sea. The Oslo audio-guided tour stops here to evoke this lively seafront, between redeveloped quays, promenades and departures towards the islands of the fjord.

The seafront turned towards the fjord

The port of Oslo extends at the end of the fjord of the same name, which penetrates deeply into the land. Since its foundation, the town is turned towards the sea, and its port played an essential role in its trade and its development. Today, the seafront has been largely redeveloped into a modern and pleasant urban space, marked with promenades, new districts like Bjørvika and Aker Brygge, museums and places of leisure. From the quays also leave the ferries and boats towards the islands and the banks of the fjord. A place of life, promenade and transport, the port embodies the deep link between Oslo and the sea.
