Bygdøy

Southwest of the city center is the Bygdøy Peninsula, where several of the best-known historic sights are concentrated. This is where you'll find the Vikingskipshuset, one of Norway’s most popular attractions. The pink castle nestled in the trees is Oscarshall Slott Åd, once a royal summer palace. The royal family’s current summer residence–-actually just a big white house–-is also here.
