Do I need to print my ticket?

No. Your ticket is delivered to your phone and can be shown on screen — no printing required.

When does my 24 or 48 hours start?

Your validity period begins the first time you board the bus, not from the moment of purchase. You can buy in advance and activate on the day you're ready to explore.

Can I board at any stop, or do I have to start at the National Theatre?

You can board at any designated stop on the red route. The National Theatre is the main hub, but there's no requirement to start there.

How often do the buses run?

Departure times and frequency vary by season and day. Check the City Sightseeing Oslo website for the current timetable and daily operating hours before you travel.

Is the tour suitable for young children?

Yes. Children under 6 travel free of charge, though they are not entitled to a separate seat and must sit on a guardian's lap.

What does the '+ 24 Hours FREE' on the ticket options mean?

Both ticket options include a bonus 24-hour extension on top of the stated duration — so the 24-hour ticket gives you 48 hours in total, and the 48-hour ticket gives you 72 hours in total.
