EXPLORE TJUVHOLMEN THIS SUMMER

1. Art tour at Astrup Fearnley Museet

Astrup Fearnley Museet is one of Scandinavia’s most notable museums for contemporary art. Currently, the museum features The Astrup Fearnley Collection — a fresh presentation showcasing new works acquired over the past five years alongside well-known classics. Alternatively, you can explore Space Making, an exhibition that explores depth and spatiality in painting, featuring eight artists from different generations, including Hanne Borchgrevink, Miyoko Ito, and Vegard Vindenes. For a deeper experience, book a private guided tour. Don’t miss the Tjuvholmen Sculpture Park just outside, where you can stroll among works by some of the world’s leading contemporary artists.

2. Take a ride in a Riva boat

A Riva boat is a classic Italian motorboat known for its sleek design and craftsmanship. You can book a private two-hour tour with a captain who will take you around Oslofjord, passing islands, fjords, and quiet coves. It’s a smooth, relaxing way to see the city from the water.

3. Tjuvholmen City Beach 

Tjuvholmen may be in the heart of the city, but it also has one of Oslo’s best swimming spots. Just steps from THE THIEF, you’ll find a small beach and wooden piers stretching out into the water. It’s clean, calm, and surprisingly quiet – the perfect place to take a dip, dry off in the sun, or simply watch the sailboats drift by.

Bring a towel, something cold to drink, and leave your schedule behind. Here, time doesn’t matter much.

4. THIEF ROOFTOP Bar & Restaurant

As the day fades, head up – way up. THIEF ROOFTOP offers some of the best views in the city, and the atmosphere to match. Think signature cocktails, low-key DJ sets in THIEF ROOFTOP Bar. 

Dinner with a view? At THIEF ROOFTOP Restaurant, enjoy a carefully crafted à la carte menu or a refined three-course dining experience while taking in stunning views of the sea and city skyline.
