About Bygdøy
Bygdøy is a peninsula on the western side of Oslo and part of the borough of Frogner. Originally an island, it became a peninsula through post-glacial rebound. Today it is a popular recreation area and one of Norway's most fashionable residential districts, with parks, forests and beaches, including the Huk beaches. The peninsula is also home to the Bygdøy Royal Estate, the King of Norway's official summer residence, and to Oscarshall, which houses the Queen Joséphine Gallery.

Bygdøy can be reached by bus: line 30 of Oslo's public transport runs every 10 minutes from Nydalen via the city centre and Nationaltheatret. Between April and October a local public ferry also sails from Aker Brygge every 30 minutes. Cars are allowed on the peninsula, and there is a modest car park in front of the Kon-Tiki Museum. The peninsula is the site of five museums, among them the Kon-Tiki Museum and the Fram Museum.
