The best bathing spots in Oslo
During the summer months, the weather is often good and sunny in Oslo. You may not associate the city with a beach holiday, but in reality, bathing is one of the absolute best things about summer in Norway's capital. Whether you want to jump from high cliffs or go rafting on the river, Oslo has it! Cool down with a dip in the center or let yourself disappear into Oslomarka and take a freshwater bath - the choice is yours. If you can't get enough of heat, you can also visit one of the city's popular saunas, SALT and KOK, where hot saunagus sessions are combined with cold baths and cold drinks.
This is where you should eat in Oslo
If you are visiting Oslo in the summer, we recommend visiting one of the wonderful food markets. In Mathallen, located in Oslo's 'hip' district, you can find specialties such as cheese, chicken and fish delicacies. Vippa offers a large selection of mouth-watering street food dishes, which can be enjoyed with a view of the water. At SALT, the atmosphere and spirits are high when the sun's rays hit, and the food from the stalls can be enjoyed at the wooden tables set up. At Barcode street food there are good lunch deals on healthy meals for both vegetarians and meat eaters.
