A single zone-1 ticket costs 46 NOK (2026); 24-hour and 7-day tickets are sold in the Ruter app. Ruter tickets are valid on Vy trains in Oslo and Akershus, but do not cover the whole journey to Oslo Airport; add the required zone(s). They are not valid on Flytoget. Unlike the Oslo Pass, they do not include attraction entry.
ruter.noWhile Oslo doesn't offer a standalone museum-only pass, individual museums offer combination tickets and discounts: Some Bygdøy museums sell combination tickets (the Viking Ship Museum is closed until about 2027). Several museums offer free admission on certain days or times - check individual museum websites. Students, seniors, and children receive reduced admission at most attractions. Groups of 10+ can request group discounts. For museum-focused trips without transport needs, buying individual tickets or Oslo Pass may be more economical than separate cards. Many museums are free for children under 18.
