Getting There

During the summer boats run from Aker Brygge to two landing stages on the island. One is located near the Folk museum and The other is located behind the Fram, Kon-Tiki and Maritime museums. During the winter bus 30 runs from the centre of Oslo to Bygdøy stopping outside the Norsk Folk Museum, the next stop is for the Viking Ship museum and then a couple of stops further on the bus stops in the forecourt of the Kon-Tiki museum which is next to the Maritime and Fram museums. The 30 runs all year round, but the extension to the Kon-Tiki museum only runs when the ferry isn't. Alternately it is a well signed 15 minute walk from the Viking ship museum to the Kon-Tiki, Fram and Maritime museums. Free use of the buses and ferries is included in the Oslo card.
