Get a glimpse of the so-called Barcode-area, the latest addition of office buildings, as well as the new library and many apartment houses in the area of Bjørvika. Passing through the inner-city tunnel you will further on see the Royal Palace, built in the first half of the last century and the residence of the Royal Family.

Next, it’s on to the Bydøy peninsula. Once the King’s private property, today it is partially designated as a museum area. Stop to visit the Maritime Museum. Included in the museum's different exhibitions is a Viking boat from the Gokstad findings as well as several artfacts from Norwegian's Maritime cultural heritage. Continue on to the Kon Tiki Museum, housing the original balsa raft used by Thor Heyerdahl and his five companions. In 1947, their voyage took them from Peru to Polynesia, crossing 1,864 miles of ocean. You will also find the papyrus-boat RA II with which Thor Heyerdahl used to successfully cross the Atlantic Ocean in 1970. A good selection of documentary material is also on display.

You will also pay a visit to the Fram Museum. The Fram was built by Colin Archer in 1892 to explore the Polar Regions. It was used in expeditions of the Arctic and Antarctic regions by the Norwegian explorers, including Roald Amundsen during his expedition of 1910-11.

From Bygdøy you will drive along the harbor with its many pleasure boats and have a glimpse of the charming Oscarshall Castle, the summer residence of the Swedish/Norwegian King Oscar I.
