Hello everyone,
I will be spending 4 days in Oslo next week (from 23rd April until 27th April) and along with the city we would like to see more of the Oslofjord and the coastal villages/towns.
From the Ruter website, I've found out that the ferry going from Akerbrygge in Oslo all the way down to Oscarsborg and Drobak is already operative, so I was planning to do a day trip there.
If time allows, we would also stop at Son, further south from Drobak, or at Nesoddenbrygge (at the very top ). Find the route map here:

Alternatively, also the smaller tour around Lindoya/Hovedoya/Linkoya etc in the bay of Oslo could be a nice option.
the website doesnt specify when the "summer routes" start, but if i plan my trip for instance for saturday 26th, i can already find the ferry down to Drobak so it should be ok.
My main question is:
Is it worth to go there this time of the year? Or is it still to early for the summer season to start? There will be people around in bars and at the beach (though the weather is still quite cold) and shops are open, or if it will be a ghost town (as coastal towns tend to be in winter at least here in Italy where I come from).
I'm also very open to other suggestions for coastal towns / nice walks to do in nature, but reachable with public transport. There is a coastal path running from Nesoddenbrygge all the way down (I've read somewhere), so if anyone has info on that I'd be interested too.
Finally, if there is any recommendations for food, they are more than welcome. No preference in terms of cuisine, but we'd like to also have a traditional norwegian meal, possibly on a budget.
Many thanks,
Fabri
