The Oslo Light Pass as a Public Transport Ticket

The Oslo Light Pass allows you unlimited travel on all public transport in Oslo. Included are all means of transport within the city: metro (T-Bane), trams, city and regional buses, municipal ferries, and local trains from Vy. This way you can easily reach all attractions without having to buy a ticket every time.

The validity area covers Zone 1 (Oslo city area). Transfer to Oslo-Gardermoen airport and the express train Flytoget are not included in the pass.

Validity begins with the first activation and then runs continuously for 24, 48, or 72 hours - so you can start the pass in the evening, for example. Important: You must activate the pass before your first journey.

  2. Board and travel: Get on the bus, tram, metro, or ferry - you don't need an extra ticket, as your Oslo Light Pass serves as your travel ticket.

The Most Important Routes

Oslo has a well-developed transport network. The main hub is Central Station (Oslo S / Jernbanetorget) with all T-Bane lines and many bus and tram routes. Stations like Nationaltheatret or Stortinget are also important interchange points in the center.

Top Connections to Attractions:

  • Gardermoen Airport: The Oslo Light Pass is only valid in Zone 1 - the airport is outside the coverage area. Please buy a separate ticket for the transfer. (Neither the Vy local train nor the Flytoget express train are included.)

  • Holmenkollen (Oslo Light Pass Attraction): Metro Line 1 to Holmenkollen station (about 25 minutes).

  • Munch Museum (Oslo Light Pass Attraction): Tram Line 13 or 19 to Bispegata stop, a few minutes' walk from the museum.

Additional Practical Tips:

  • Avoid rush hours: Try to avoid weekdays 7-9 AM and 3-5 PM when possible, as many lines are crowded then.

  • Operating hours: Metro, tram, and bus run approximately from 5:00 AM to midnight. On weekends, additional night buses operate (with N-line numbers).

  • Bygdøy ferry: Ferry to the museum island only runs approximately March-October. Use Bus Line 30 during winter months.

  • Tram 12 as city tour: Tram line 12 crosses Oslo and passes many attractions - ideal for your own city tour.

  • Pre-book attractions: Since the Oslo Light Pass includes skip-the-line access for your 2 chosen attractions, it's worth reserving date and time directly after purchase via the voucher link - especially during high season.
