After purchase you immediately receive a code by email. You redeem it in the free Oslo Pass app under "Redeem pass". No plastic cards are sent - the pass is fully digital.
Is the Oslo Pass worth it?+
If you visit several museums and use public transport, it pays off quickly. With two or three attractions plus a few journeys you typically cover the cost - public transport and the Bygdøy ferry are included anyway.
Validity & use
When is the Oslo Pass activated?+
The pass is only activated when you use it for the first time, not at the time of purchase. You activate it in the app when you are ready to start. From that moment the chosen duration of 24, 48 or 72 hours runs continuously.
How long is the Oslo Pass valid?+
The Oslo Pass is valid for 24, 48 or 72 hours. The hours run continuously from the moment of activation, not from the time of purchase. You can therefore start the pass on the day of your visit.
Do I need an app?+
Yes. The Oslo Pass runs in the free Oslo Pass app. After purchase you receive a code that you enter in the app under "Redeem pass". Only activate the pass when you are ready to go.
How do I present the pass on-site?+

Cancellation & other questions
Can I cancel the Oslo Pass?+
According to the booking channel, the Oslo Pass is non-refundable - no refund or replacement is possible. Since the pass is only activated on first use, you can flexibly start it on whichever day suits you.
Do I need to commit to a fixed day?+
No, a fixed date is not required. You choose a start date at checkout, but the pass only starts running when you actively start it in the app. This keeps you flexible if your plans change at short notice.
