Timeline
14:45
Grab a quick bite at Lanternen. Their herring and salads are a solid, light lunch that won't weigh you down before the walk.
15:18
Wander into the Kon-Tiki Museum. It is a short walk from Lanternen. Use this time to view Thor Heyerdahl's balsa raft Kon-Tiki and the Ra II. The museum is included in the Oslo Pass if you have one.
15:48
Head to the museum's viewing area or terrace. On 15 January, the sun sets toward the SW around 15:48. This is the moment the golden light hits the water and the raft, offering a dramatic backdrop for the end of your visit.
16:18
End your trip with a warm drink at Kafé Fjord, just a minute's walk from the museum. It is open until 18:00 in January, perfect for lingering after the sun goes down.
Local tip
The Kon-Tiki Museum is a bit of a trek from the station, so plan your transit accordingly. Check the route.
Check before you go
- Kafé Fjord closes at 18:00 in January.
