You can not leave Oslo without having a walk up the river Akerselva! I recommend starting from the bottom of Trondheimsveien and walking up to Nydalen (or even further) You can catch the Tbane (underground) from Nydalen or the buss. Along the way there is several nice cafees and cosy areas to sit down and take in the atmosphere. 15-20 min up the river you can have a waffle beside the watermill Mølla at Hønselouisa:)

2 StrandpromenadenIf you want to get out of the city for one day, my best tips is to jump om a ferry from Aker Brygge and go to Hovedøya. (the tram/bus/tbane tickets are also valid for the ferrys) This island is very quiet, very green, has several beaches and a cosy cafe. I prefer swiming at the smaller beach at the backside of the island. You can also choose to visit some of the other islands, Gressholmen has a nice resturant.
