Fjords around Oslo?
Can anyone tell me if there are fjords around Oslo, other than out of Bergen? I have done the Norway in a Nutshell trip, which was spectacular, but some friends said that they went through the fjords while on a cruise ship that stopped in Oslo. Their ship was doing the Baltic route not a fjord trip. I didn't realize that there are fjords between the port for Oslo and Stockholm (which was their next port).
Thanks for any help. |
Well, Oslo is actually on a fjord - not that apparent while you're in the city, but when you leave to go out into the sea.
|
Oslo Fjord has none of the towering cliffs of the fjords in western Norway. I would describe it as scenic rather than spectacular.

Thank you nytraveler and Heimdall for the info.
As I said, I was wondering about that from what I had read before. |
Yes, Oslo Fjord IS a fjord. But it is not what most tourists think of when the think of Norwegian fjords, nor is it like what you saw on the Norway in a Nutshell tour. For that you'll have to go to western Norway.
