Practical information

Clarion Collection Hotel Gabelshus is the official hotel for guests attending the Abel Prize Week. Hotel Gabelshus is located in the upscale and quiet residential area of Frogner and is in close proximity to most events during the Abel Prize Week.

How do I get from Oslo Airport Gardermoen to Oslo City Center?

By train (Recommended)

Take a right outside the customs area and proceed to the very end of the arrival hall. Look for the Airport Express Train sign. Trains depart every 10 minutes, take 20 minutes to Oslo Central Station and cost 190 NOK. You can easily get hold of a taxi from Oslo Central Station.

By taxi

Take a right outside the customs area and you will find the taxi information desk down the corridor in the arrival hall. Ask for a taxi or type in the name of your hotel - and you will get a list of all companies available. The rates vary between the different companies. Book your taxi there and wait outside the terminal for your taxi to appear.
