Getting to Oslo

Airplanes to Oslo land at three airports. If you use public transport from the airport, you will have to go via Oslo Central Station (Oslo S) regardless of which airport you land on. The following information may be useful when selecting your flight. Train and bus fares are one-way fares as of today, and may of course change.

Gardermoen (OSL), about 50 km north of Oslo:
-- Airport train (Flytoget) to Oslo S leaves every 10-20 minutes, takes 20-25 minutes. Fare NOK 160.
-- Airport bus (Flybussen) to Oslo Bussterminal by Oslo S leaves every 20-30 minutes, takes about 45 minutes. Fare NOK 130.

Torp (TRF), about 115 km south of Oslo:
-- Airport bus (Torp-Ekspressen) to Oslo Bussterminal leaves about 30 minutes after every Ryanair and Wizzair arrival, takes about 1 hour and 50 minutes. Fare NOK 150.

Rygge (RYG), about 65 km south of Oslo:
-- Airport bus (Rygge-Ekspressen) to Oslo Bussterminal leaves about 30 minutes after every Norwegian Air arrival, takes about 65 minutes. Fare NOK 120.
-- Free buses from airport to Moss railway station, from which regional trains leave hourly for Oslo S on weekdays, less frequently on weekends. Fare NOK 116.

On Friday, it is highly recommended that your arrival at Gardermoen is before 1500, at Torp or Rygge before 1400.
On Sunday, it is highly recommended that your departure from Gardermoen is after 1700, from Torp or Rygge after 1800.
These recommendations come with no guarantees; air delays, lack of correspondence etc may of course cause lateness even if they are followed. In general we advise travellers to include some slack.

Air fares

Last autumn, we checked air fares about nine months into the future, to get an idea of how cheap it was possible to make the trip if ordering well in advance. We include what we found here to indicate what may be possible to get of low prices, and which airlines it may be useful to check. Of course there is no guarantee that this kind of prices are available now, but these examples may give an indication:

London-Oslo-London: EUR 73 (Ryanair), EUR 97 (Sterling), EUR 137 (Norwegian)
Tallinn-Oslo-Tallinn: EUR 90 (Norwegian), EUR 170 (Estonian Air), EUR 223 (SAS)
Brussels-Oslo-Brussels: EUR 90 (Sterling)
Amsterdam-Oslo-Amsterdam: EUR 100 (Sterling)
Helsinki-Oslo-Helsinki: EUR 211 (SAS)
Berlin-Oslo-Berlin: EUR 130 (Norwegian); Dortmund-Oslo-Dortmund: EUR 90 (Sterling)
Budapest-Oslo-Budapest: EUR 156 (Norwegian)
New York-Oslo-New York: USD 1500 (SAS); cheaper flights available if flying via London Heathrow

From central Oslo to the quiz venue

The regular Oslo bus route number 83 goes from near Oslo S to the hotel with a frequency of every 15-30 minutes on weekdays, every hour Saturday and Sunday. The ride takes about 15 minutes.

More detailed information on bus departure locations, exact schedules etc will be forthcoming.

By car

The hotel has free parking for guests arriving by car, e.g. people living on the Continent taking the Kiel-Oslo ferry, or people using rental cars from the airport.
