Set out on fjord journeyin Oslo, Norway

You can take ferry and come round the whole Oslofjord inlet to witness pristine beauty of nature.

The Oslofjord is about 100 kilometers long, it connects Oslo with the North Sea.

The part of the inlet is included into Oslo water area and maintained by a few shipping companies - you can take a ferry and easily get from the City Hall to the Bygdoy Peninsula or to the beach of Langøyene island.
