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 210 NOK. You can easily get hold of a taxi from Oslo Central Station.

By taxi

If you want to take a taxi from the airport, we recommend that you go to the Taxi booking machine located in the Avinor Information Center in the arrivals hall. You will be able to book taxis, as well as find an overview of prices. Normally the taxi will arrive within 3 to 5 minutes.
