Aker Brygge - the popular harbour of Oslo |
For more than a houndred years Aker Brygge was a shipyard called 'Akers mek. verksted', but in 1982 the old wharf was turned into a modern place with restaurants, shops, offices, luxurious apartments and leisure-boat docks.
Today it is one of the most popular places in summer, and it's full of both locals and tourists. The prices can be a bit high here, so if you are on a budget it's better to eat and drink other places. But anyway you should visit this place at least once.
Right next to it lies the city hall, the old fortress, the dock for many of the cruiseships coming here and it's just a few minutes walk from the royal castle, the main street and many historical and important buildings.
