Latest change: Health – editorial change. [Government of Canada - Travel Advice](https://travel.gc.ca/destinations/norway) Flytoget is 19 minutes from Gardermoen but the ordinary Vy train takes 23 and costs much less. Ruter ferries to the Oslofjord islands are included in a normal 24 hour transport ticket. Metro line 1 ends at Frognerseteren, in forest, with ski trails in winter and walking routes in summer. You can walk on the roof of the Opera House for free, day or night. The Oslo Pass pays for itself if you visit the Munch, Fram and Viking Ship museums in the same 48 hours. ## Local knowledge Contributed by guides, operators and creators on the ground. Community advice, kept separate from official sources. Skip Flytoget, take the Vy train The regular regional train from Gardermoen reaches Oslo Central four minutes later than the express and costs about half as much. Local guide Ingrid Halvorsen Take the ferry, it is already paid for Ruter island ferries in the Oslofjord are part of the normal transport ticket, so a day pass buys you an afternoon of island hopping for nothing extra. Tourpublish contributor Petter Aas ## Frequently asked questions Flytoget express takes 19 minutes, the regular Vy regional train takes 23 minutes and is significantly cheaper. Two to three days for the Munch museum, Vigeland park, the opera roof and an island ferry. Yes, in summer. Sorenga and Tjuvholmen have city swimming areas and the islands have small beaches. If you plan two or more museums a day plus transport, yes. For a single-museum day it is not.
