Review:
Located on the west side of the city, Bygdoy Peninsula can easily be reached by taking a short ferry ride from the downtown harbor. Much of the peninsula is residential, but it's also home to some of the city's best museums, including the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History and the Viking Ship Museum, which features three historic Viking longships that were discovered in southern Norway. A network of trails around the peninsula provides plenty of opportunities for walking and cycling, and there are also a handful of quiet but lovely beaches that are great for swimming in the summer.
