The regional centre of Follo is Ski, which is also the largest town in the region. The municipalities of Nesodden, Oppeg?rd, ?s, Frogn and Vestby have a coastline to the Oslo Fjord. Many of the towns in Follo are situated along this coastline, like Nesoddtangen, Dr?bak and Son, as well as several beaches that are well frequented in the summer. In the interior there are a lot of woods and farms. During the winter there are good opportunities of skiing in ?stmarka and S?rmarka, and you can go skiing on artificial snow in Dr?bak and at the golf courses near the farm of ?stre Greverud.

A suggestion has been made to combine some or most of the existing Follo municipalities into one or two new, but many local politicians are against it.
