Frognerbadet is Oslo's largest outdoor swimming facility, located on Middelthuns gate right next to Vigelandsparken. The pool complex dates back to 1956 and has been a summer institution for generations of Oslo residents.
The facility includes a 50-metre main pool, diving pools and a large sunbathing lawn with views toward the Frogner neighbourhood. On hot summer days it fills up quickly — this is one of the few places in central Oslo where you can swim outdoors. The complex has undergone several renovations over the decades and remains one of the city's most popular warm-weather destinations.
If you are visiting Vigelandsparken on a summer day and feel like cooling off, Frognerbadet is right next door. Check opening dates before you go, as it is only open during the summer season.
