The no. 30 bus takes you within minutes of the small beaches. Views are incredible and it's all free!

Peninsula with the greates charm. Take a walk in the forest or visit one of the five museums. Have a beer on the waterfront. Could not be better. Easy access with the bus form Oslo or the ferry from Oslo harbour just outside the Town hall. Take a bath if you like.

Get a boat to Bygdøy from Aker Brygge. This is where the super rich live in their massive mansions. It is also a very popular recreational area with some of the most popular "beaches" in Oslo. There are a few musums there and some good forest walking trails.

If you want to take a break from the city this is the place to go. A nice place for a walk or a picnik. The trails go past the sea, into the forrest and over fields. Lots of tracks to choose from. In summer you can also go to the beach here. There are several museums, a grocery store... More

Rent one of the inexpensive city bikes to ride around this charming island. When I did it about 3 years ago, you had to go to the Tourist Office - about 5 minutes walk from Akerbrygge - to buy the tokens. The bikes are available at Akerbrygge, however.

It is great to go for a stroll in the Bygdøy Peninsula. This is considered an expensive area in the Oslo area, but is really how most of the people outside Oslo lives. It is nice to walk around in the more quite streets, away from the bus line. And you can go for a swim on Huk or Paradisbukta.

I liked the peninsula because of many good and very good museums that are there. Other than that it's nothing to do on the peninsula.

Several museums are on the Bygdoy peninsula, which can be reached by bus or by ferry cruise. The museums are very informative and insightful, and the neighbourhood is quiet and peaceful, with some great views and stunning houses.

An interesting trip to a smart suburb of Oslo on which there are a number of museums. The Bus is easy to catch from downtown Oslo. Dont miss the Kontiki museum - a monument to the exttraordinary Thor Heyerdahl soon to be famous thanks to Hollywood!
