Travel

By Air

The main airport Oslo Airport Gardermoen (OSL) is located 45 km north of Oslo, and is the most frequently used gateway to Norway. There are direct flights to Oslo from all major European cities, as well as many overseas destinations. From the airport, the Airport Express train takes around 20 minutes to reach Oslo central station (Oslo S) and costs NOK 190. The regional NSB trains also travel from the airport to the central station in about 25 minutes, and cost NOK 101. They do not run as frequently as the Airport Express Train. Ask the NSB employees in red for assistance in buying a regional train ticket. There is also an Airport Express Coach, which takes appr. 45 minutes depending on traffic.
