Take the shortcut from the opera house and make your way to the deck on the tip of the Sørenga area. This is a great urban outdoor swimming spot widely popular by the locals. A separate area for families. This makes a great sunday walk from the apartment. Go early in the morning or on a week day to avoid the biggest crowds. We like to bring some food and have breakfast on warm summer days, before it gets too busy and too hot! Make sure to pass by Evita Espressobar on the way to get coffee, a smoothie or something to eat.
