Hotels in Akershus, Norway
Akershus is a Norwegian region wrapped around Oslo's Oslofjord, famous for its deep fjords and Viking-era history. Winters bring snowy forests perfect for cross-country skiing at Nordmarka, while summers offer sunny hikes along the fjord's edge and kayaking past the 13th-century Akershus Castle in Oslo. You can visit the castle in any season-just bundle up in January for temps around 20°F (-6°C) or enjoy mild 70°F (21°C) days in July for a boat trip to the Hovedøya island ruins.
