Bygdøy

Serene, residential Bygdøy is a forested peninsula known for its maritime history. A 19th-century polar ship is on display at The Fram Museum, while the Kon-Tiki Museum is dedicated to the life of adventurer Thor Heyerdahl. Vivid recreations of traditional Norwegian homes draw visitors to the open-air National Folk Museum. The coastline is dotted with quiet beaches, and hiking and bike trails cut through the woods.
