Review:
Bygdoy Peninsula is a peninsula on the west side of Oslo center. Mostly a residential area, Bygdøy is also a popular spot for recreation with beaches, volleyball courts, and great walking and biking trails through parks and forests.
Many of Oslo’s popular museums are in Bygdøy such as the Kon-Tiki Museum about Thor Heyerdahl’s expeditions, the Viking Ship Museum, and the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History. The King of Norway has his official summer residence in Bygdøy. The best way to travel to the peninsula is by ferry, which leaves from Pier 3 just behind the City Hall. The trip takes about 15 minutes and runs from early April to October.
