2026 Asker Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in September)

Visited a friend's home in Sandvika, Oslo. Knowing my love for hiking, my friend took me to the nearby Semsvannet Lake for a walk around it. It was truly delightful. The trails around the lake are well-maintained, with ups and downs that provide a good workout. The scenery along the way is stunning, featuring mountains, waterfalls, vast forests, and even horses and sheep leisurely grazing on the meadows. The Tveiter Manor by the lake adds another highlight to the hike. This unique old building is protected by the local government, making it a great spot for photos.

Tranquility

Quaint & cozy coffee shop tucked in a quiet corner street. I stopped by for a coffee break. Their carrot cake was a wonderful treat. Friendly staff. Nicely decorated interiors. You can also charge your phone here. Nice cozy place to get coffee and a piece of cake. Relaxed atmosphere with french old-school tunes flowing from the speakers for ambience, candles on the tables. Friendly staff. They also have some soft drinks and water if that's what one is after. The service was very good and that to me was the highlight of this place. #europetrip #localfood #coffeelovers

Great place to grab a quick bite. Very cosy and hygge cafe, with great nice-cream bowls, big salads and tempting sweets on offer (the pancakes are sadly only on weekends). The owner is highly welcoming and you can feel that they care and make food with love (and it tastes wonderful). The food is delicious and they are completely vegan. Tried both pancakes, preferred the chocolate and nuts over the cinnamon (which did not spark that much joy). If you are a sweet-loving person then this place is for you - they have great vegan treats, sweets, deserts, cakes and fika ready for you. #europetrip#vegan #familytravel

Delicious vegan food at an excellent price. Lovely chai latte and tomato stew! I’ve come here several times and enjoyed smoothie bowls, the weekend brunch plate, the taco salad and some delicious desserts. Everything here is pretty expensive, but well worth it. This is also a great place for a raw fika! The cafe is small and cozy, usually pretty packed. The breakfast deal is really good and also affordable. Cozy environment and great service! #europetrip#vegan #localfood
