Holiday rentals in Norway - Oslofjord

The towns along the fjord are wonderful tourist destinations and full of some of the best things to do in Norway. If you go to the Oslofjord, we recommend that you go on a one-day trip to the city. NOVASOL offers a large selection of Norwegian holiday cottages in the area surrounding Oslo, the Norwegian capital. Here you find many interesting sights and attractions, e.g. the Viking Ship Museum on Bygdøy, the Vigeland Sculpture Park and the museum of Edvard Munch, who was a forerunner of expressionistic art. Oslo is the “green capital” of Europe. You will find out why, if you take the tram from Frognesteren to Nordmark or a boat from Oslo (Vippetangen) to one of the many islands in the Oslofjord.

Oslo’s rich history is on display at the museums in town that you can discover from your holiday lettings in Norway. The Fram Museum tells the history of the Norweigian Polar explorers. The Kon-Tiki Museum has the raft that Thor Heyerdahl used to sail 4,300 miles of Pacific ocean, and the Viking Ship Museum has Viking ships. Visit Akershus Fortress a historical museum, and Norsk Folkemuseum is the about cultural history. Gamlebyen (the old town) has the remains of medieval Oslo. If the history of Norway is of less interest to the little ones, in summer, TusenFryd Amusement Park will thrill the family with rides and a water park, and the Royal Palace is open for tours.

The Oslofjord is full of possibilities for holiday accommodation in Norway! On the eastern side of the fjord, you find the idyllic cities of Drøbak and Son, which are characterised by picturesque, white wooden houses. There are several galleries in Drøbak as well as a Christmas shop called Julehuset (the Christmas House). Close to Drøbak you find Oscarborg Fortress - a coastal fortress in the Oslofjord. The fortress is situated on two small islets. It played an important role during the Second World War. Fredrikstad, Halden, Moss, Tønsberg, Sandefjord, Holmestrand, Stavern and Drammen are towns which offer events such as festivals, fairs, concerts and theatre shows to enjoy during summer holidays in Norway. The narrow streets and squares have a typical Scandinavian atmosphere!

There are many possibilities as to how to get to your Norway accommodation on the Oslofjord. You can either travel by car, train or ferry. Ferries and the Oslofjord Tunnel connect the eastern and western shores of the Oslofjord. The ferries make it possible to travel between Moss and Horten as well as between Sandefjord and Strømstad (Sweden). The Oslofjord Tunnel also makes it possible to travel by car between Storsand and Drøbak. There are also two airports: Oslo Gardermoen and Sandefjord Torp and you can travel from Torp to Oslo by bus, which takes two hours.
