Five days covers the main museums and neighborhoods without daily rushing. Group central sights on foot and use ferries for Bygdøy and the islands.

Do I need to book the Fram Museum ahead?

Book Fram Museum tickets online the day before to skip the ticket line. Entry costs about 200 NOK and the visit takes roughly one hour.

How do I get to Bygdøy from central Oslo?

Take the ferry from Aker Brygge to Bygdøy in ten minutes. Ferries run every thirty minutes for 50 NOK one way.

How do I reach Hovedøya island?

Take the public ferry from Vippetangen pier, below Akershus Fortress. The crossing takes about 10 minutes and a standard Ruter ticket covers it.
