Rådhusbryggene, vier Piers im Hafen von Oslo
Rådhusbryggene is a set of four piers made of wood and concrete that sit next to Oslo City Hall. The oldest wooden pier dates to 1881, while the concrete ones were built in the 1930s, and they remain busy with tour boats, fishing vessels, and ferries.
The oldest pier was built in 1881 as a wooden structure to serve fjord boats and ferries. The concrete piers were added in the 1930s to handle growing harbor activity and modernize the port infrastructure.
Rådhusbryggene takes its name from the city hall that stands nearby. The place is woven into Oslo's daily life, where locals buy fresh fish in the morning and visitors watch the boats come and go.
The piers are easy to reach on foot from the city center and close to main transit stations. Visitors can come early in the morning for the fish market or walk along anytime to watch boats and enjoy views of Akershus Fortress.
The oldest wooden pier was once damaged by shipworms that ate through the wood. The fourth pier is especially known for its early morning fish market, where fishermen sell their catch directly from the boats.
