Review:

Approximately 60 miles long, the Oslofjord connects the capital city of Oslo to the open waters of the sea. Dotted with hundreds of islands, the fjord has plenty for visitors to see and do, particularly in the summer. Some of the area's main highlights are the Middle Age monastery ruins on the island of Hovedøya, the Viking burial mounds in the Borre National Park, and the amazingly well-preserved 16th-century fortress in the town of Fredrikstad. If you feel like you've spent enough time on dry land, you can also get out on the water to kayak, canoe, fish, or sail.
