From Aker Brygge to Vilma Sjøbad
It's easy to think that the experience starts when you arrive. At Vilma, it starts a little earlier.

How to travel to Vilma from Aker Brygge
Some places require a lot of planning. Vilma is not one of them. In the summer, you can take the ferry from Aker Brygge to Filtvet and travel straight out for a day that is all about sea air, good food and lower shoulders. The trip takes around 1 hour and 40 minutes, and suddenly you are there – without a car, stress or parking.
Summer days near Oslo
This is exactly what makes Vilma such a great summer destination. Close Oslo , but with enough distance that the day actually feels like a little break. You can take the ferry from Aker Brygge in the morning, arrive for lunch, swim from the pier, enjoy the sun and head back to the city later in the day.
That means you get the best of both worlds: a full day by the fjord, without having to give up your evening plans.

Italian restaurant , large outdoor seating area and pier
Once you arrive, it's easy to see why people stay for a long time. Vilma serves delicious Italian food in a setting that's made for summer. Here you can have a long lunch, order something delicious by the glass, and let the hours pass a little slower than usual.
The large outdoor seating area, private pier and sun loungers make Vilma a place you don't just visit - you stay. This is the place for a group of friends who want to have a real summer day by the fjord, with swimming, food, sun and a good atmosphere all in one place.
Also perfect for a weekend trip
For some, Vilma is a perfect day trip near Oslo . For others, it is the start of a weekend by the fjord. When Vilmas boutique hotel opens for bookings in the summer of 2026, the place will become an even stronger destination for small breaks with a big impact. With unique boutique -rooms, sea views and the ocean right outside the door, the setting is set for quiet mornings, long meals and a weekend at a completely different pace.
And perhaps that's precisely what makes Vilma so attractive: that it feels like a getaway, while the journey here is surprisingly easy.
