Good to know

What is the relaxed way to see Oslo with a family?

One main stop each morning, two shorter ones after lunch, and unhurried walking between. Most stops sit in or near the city centre, and the Kon-Tiki Museum is a short ferry ride across the harbour.

Is the Oslo Opera House roof worth walking up?

Yes. The sloping roof is part of the building's everyday use and open to everyone; it takes a few minutes from the harbour side and gives one of the widest views over the fjord.

Where can we see Edvard Munch's The Scream?

The Munch Museum holds several versions of The Scream alongside the largest collection of his work. It sits on the waterfront, so it pairs naturally with the Opera House on the same afternoon.

Which Oslo museum suits children best?

The Kon-Tiki Museum is compact and story-driven, built around Thor Heyerdahl's raft voyages, so it holds attention for the two hours and leaves the afternoon free.

Is Bygdøy worth going to?

Yes, if you group it. Oscarshall and the Fram Museum sit on the same peninsula, a short ferry from the city centre, so one morning covers both before you cross back to town.

Where is The Scream in Oslo?

One version hangs in the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design, beside the rest of the national collection. The Munch Museum at Bjørvika holds more of the artist's work.
