Sørenga sjøbad
Sørengkaia 69, 0194 Oslo 2 hours
This place gives you those proper summer vibes right in the city. There are piers to jump from, a small beach, and views toward the islands. It usually gets quite busy when the sun is out, but the mood is always great, especially as evening approaches.
Why it works
It is informal and laid-back, and nothing beats an evening swim together.
What to order
Remember a towel and grab an ice cream each on your way down to the water.
Best time to go
Late afternoon in June or July
What it costs
NOK 0–150 for two
