Aker Brygge pier, Oslo, Norway
The Aker Brygge pier is an area in Oslo, Norway. Aker Brygge is west of Pipervika, an arm of the Oslo Fjord, on the former ship yard of Akers Mekaniske Verksted, which was shut down in 1982. Before the shipyard was established there in 1854, the area was known as Holmen. It was an old yard where some industrial corporations established, and a suburban establishment grew in the early 19th century. Aker Brygge is a popular meeting place for shopping, dining, and entertainment. Oslo residents, tourists from all over the world, business people on the move, as well as musicians, artists, actors, celebrities find Aker Brygge their favourite place to hang out. As many as 12 million visitors a year makes Aker Brygge Norway's biggest destination.
