May is perhaps the most beautiful month in the Oslofjord. The trees explode in green, the sun is high in the sky, and the city wakes up after winter. With holidays, festivities and a wealth of cultural events, it's the perfect time to experience Oslo and the surrounding area - from the water.
That's why May is magical at sea:
- The spring air is fresh, but the sun is warm - perfect for a boat trip.
- It's still calm on the fjord - there are no queues or congestion.
- Many gems are more easily accessible by boat than by land.
What's happening in Oslo in May?
- May 17th: Full chaos at Aker Brygge - but with a boat you have the best table in town. Watch the crowds and fireworks from your own deck space.
- Ascension Day (Thursday, May 29): Perfect for a few hours at sea and perhaps the first swim of the year - or a floating foreplay with friends.
- Picnic in the Park (PiP Fest) - plan a boat foreplay and take you to Sofienbergparken afterwards.
- Concerts in Oslo Spektrum, Sentrum Scene and SALT - start the evening with your own music and take-away on the fjord.
- Pentecostal saints: When the city is emptied of people, the lake is still open - freedom on the water, without leaving the city.
Tips:
Bring good food and drink, plan flexibly with weather and wind - and remember that there is no more private and exclusive vantage point in Oslo than a boat in the inner harbor.
May only happens once a year. Perhaps this is the year to experience Oslo from a new perspective?
