There are daily ferry connections to Kiel - Germany, Copenhagen - Denmark, Frederikshavn - Denmark and Nesodden. Public ferries run daily to and from the islands scattered in the Oslo harbour basin. Oslo Ferry Port is situated close to the city centre and is split into 2 terminals, the south port and the west port (See Map). The Port of Oslo is an important and busy port offering a choice of European ferry connections.
The city centre is situated at the end of the Oslofjord from where the city sprawls out in three distinct "corridors" from its centre; inland north-eastwards and southwards lining both sides of the fjord giving the city area more or less the shape of a large, reclining "Y" when seen from the north. |
