Kongen Marina
Frognerstranda 4, 0250 Oslo, Norge 1 hour
This place is full of palm trees and bright colors, giving off serious tropical vibes right by the water. It feels more like a Caribbean beach bar than a marina in Oslo. They have heaters and tents, so it works year-round, but it’s definitely at its best when you can sit outside and watch the boats go by.
Why it works
The place is so colorful and casual that it’s hard not to be in a good mood the moment you walk in.
What to order
Share a pizza and grab a cold drink. Try to snag a spot right by the water's edge.
Best time to go
A warm summer evening when the pier is buzzing.
What it costs
NOK 400–600 for food and drinks
