Aside from the fact that almost all notable museums in Oslo are located here, it's also quite interesting to see the local residencies in the area! There are some extreme slopes on the peninsula, so it might be worth looking into the bus schedule in the area if powerwalking from museum to museum seems daunting. The peninsula is a short... More

We were rather leisurely getting going so didn't arrive at the Folk Museum until midday, but we managed to see the Folk Museum, the Viking ship museum, Fram museum and Kon Tiki before geting the boat back. We loved the boat ride! We certainly made the most of our Oslo tickets!

Be prepared to walk quite a bit if you want to see all the museums, also make sure you have enough time. We struggled to see 4 museums in one day.

Many of Oslo's museums are located on Bygdoy Peninsula. Most of the museums are within walking distance to each other (10-15 min). You can access the Peninsula by public bus, ferry, taxi (expensive) or by tour bus. Many tour groups make stops at some of the various museums.

The round trip by ferry & #30 bus just add to the experience. The museums here are great, and really a "must do" whilst in Oslo. Also adds to the value of the Oslo City Pass
