Practical information: Oscarshall

In 2025, Oscarshall and the park surrounding the summer palace will be open Thursday-Sunday from 10 May until 31 August. 

Accessibility

The Salon and Dining room on the ground floor are easily accessable, but due to historical considerations, there is no elevator in the main building. The first floor is therefore difficult to reach for the mobility-impaired.

Palace personnel will gladly assist anyone in need of help using the stairs. Folding chairs are available if needed.

Mobility-impaired persons can easily reach the terrace, from where there is a nice  view of the park. The park itself, however, is difficult due to many stairs.

Café

There is a café in the kitchen building on the grounds. It has the same opening hours as the rest of the summer palace. A ticket to Oscarshall is not required to visit the café.

Mobile phones

Out of courtesy to the guides and other visitors, mobile phones must be turned off during the tour.

Parking

There is no parking for private cars and busses at Oscarshall. Public parking is available at the entrance to Oscarshall road and by the Bygdøy Open-Air Museum.

An exception is made for cars with parking stickers for disabled persons, for which two parking spaces are available.

Photography

Photography is permitted both inside Oscarshall and in the surrounding park.

Public transport / Entrance

The public entrance is through the main gate. The address is Oscarshallveien 15 (The Oscarshall road).

Public transport to Oscarshall:

• Bus no 30 to the stop at Bygdø Kongsgård (Bygdø Royal Farm) or Norsk Folkemuseum (the Bygdøy Open-Air Museum)
