I don’t remember seeing any bicycle rental places on Bygdoy itself. You might have to rent a bike in the downtown Oslo area and then bike over.

The information that you have about the ferry ride to Bygdoy Peninsula is true. The last ferry will operate this year on October 14th. So if you are traveling to Oslo after that, you’ll not be able to take the ferry. But you should be able to take the city bus from the city center which is a very convenient way to reach out at all the unique museums in the Bygdoy peninsula. The Oslo pass is fantastic and includes all means of public transport within Oslo. You can get the information on all the buses and trams at the Oslo Visitor Center at the central train station.

It is not very easy to plan a trip to Bygdøy in December if you want a warm day. Just now nov/dec the temp can be from - 5 to + 5 degrees. But put on nice, warm cloths, don't forget head and hands.The two next saturdays there will be x-mas marked at the Folkmuseum and is very nice to visit. Sometimes it have been snowfall and it is cosy. It is possibel to buy warm food and x-mas drink. It is also a café where the museum shop is. The other museums at the peninsula are not very far to walk, but I would recommend one at the time. Especially if you come to the christmas marked. The Folkmuseum shows you our countryside from "the old tmes". The outdoor museum is very interesting. Have a ni ce trip!

There are the occasional villas for rent, but only long term. There are no hotels in Bygdoy. However, the bus nr 30 from downtown Oslo only takes 15-20 minutes to reach all the museums, of which there are many exiting ones, so staying at a hotel in Bygdøy is not really necessary. Do you want to stay fairly close? Try Gabelshus hotel, close to Frogner church, very central and very good. Look it up, you will like it. You can with ease walk to the museums within 1/2 hour and hope for a sunny day. Very pleasant surroundings, passing the King of Norway's farm, then enter the Norwegian Folkmuseum from the rear, very close to its very first exhibit, Gol stavechurch from year 1200 (approx), moved there in 1885 in what has become the world's first open air museum. You could easily spend a day there, but are only a 5 minutes walk away from the Viking ship museum

There are two ways to reach Bygdoy - (it is part of Oslo, and not far from the city centre) A short and fairly frequent passenger ferry from the pair in front of City Hall is one, the number 30 bus is the other, which runs every 10 or 15 minutes. If you're from the US you may not be familiar with the level of public transport in Europe, and especially in Scandinavia. There is nowhere in Oslo that can't be reached very easily by very frequent and very high quality public transport (bus, tram, train, boat, metro). A car is utterly unnecessary. An Oslo Pass can be bought for periods as short as 24 hours or longer, giving you free access to many attractions and museums, plus all transport. alternatively, you can buy a pass for travel only. Bygdoy is a suburb and museum district, not a National Park. You won't find camping and cooking facilities there. Most of the museums have snacks/meals/refreshments available, but of course Norwegian prices for most things are higher than elsewhere.

To see the Vikingships, Fram and Kon-Tiki, go by bus nr 30 to Bygdoy. Stop by a Narvesen kiosk (easy to be found) and buy your bus tickets ahead of time. Saves money. back in town, take the subway (Undergrunden) up to Holmenkollen for the skimuseum. If you still have time and still not tired, return to town but get off at Majorstuen. Turn right on Kirkeveien (Church street) and a 5-10 min walk will bring you to the entrance of Vigelandsparken (park) with possible more statues than you have ever seen before in one place (214) and the monolith with its 121 figures. That should take care of your 9 hours easily, and much more economic than a guided tour.Get a good guide book instead. When that is said and done, our guides are very good and well worth listening to.
