Idyllic island in the Oslo Fjord with around 300 summer cottages in red, yellow and green. Southwest on Lindøya you find the best places to go swimming, and in the middle of the island there is a small shop and a football field.
Lindøya has a few jetties and facilities specifically designed for swimming, but no beaches.
The shop is open every day during the summer holidays, with varied opening hours before and after the holiday season. It remains closed during the winter.
From Rådhusbrygge 4 (City Hall Pier 4) in the city centre you can catch the ferry, either to the west side of Lindøya (line B1/B3 to Lindøya vest) or to the east side (line B1/B2 to Lindøya øst). It takes 15-20 minutes.
The monument you can see on a hill southeast on the island, is the Christiania Meridian from 1850. Southwest there is a swimming stadium from 1949, still in use today. Close to the east-side ferry pier you can see ”Stamhuset”, which was an inn from around 1750. On the northern part of the island the flora and fauna is preserved.
You are not allowed to camp or use a grill on the island. There is one public toilet available near the festival grounds, approximately 100 metres from the store. The toilet facilities are only open from late March/early April until the beginning of October. Payment is encouraged but not mandatory.
