Practical information
How do I get from Oslo Airport Gardermoen to Oslo City Center?
By Train (Recommended)
The Airport Express train (Flytoget) takes you to the Oslo Central Station (Oslo S) in 20 minutes. The train departs every 5-10 minutes and costs 190 NOK (Approx. 22 USD). You can also take the NSB-train to Oslo S. This takes approximately 30 minutes and is a slightly cheaper alternative (93 NOK/Approx. 11 USD).
By Taxi
If you prefer to take a taxi from the airport, we recommend you go to the taxi information desk in the arrivals hall. The taxi information desk has information about the fixed rates of the different companies that operate out of Oslo Airport. You will need to book your taxi there for the fixed rate. The taxi stand is located just outside the arrivals hall.
When do I need to be at the airport for departure?
For international flights we recommend being at the airport two hours before your flight.
How do I order a taxi?
Call Oslo Taxi at 02323, or if calling from a foreign phone number, 0047-22388090. The taxi company and drivers will speak English.
