Directions:
From Oslo Airport (Gardermoen) to Oslo, we recommend taking the express train (Flytoget) to Oslo Sentralstasjon. It departs every 20 minutes and takes 22 minutes. A regular ticket costs 210 NOK. Another option is to take one of the regional trains (R10 towards Drammen, R11 towards Skien, L12 towards Kongsberg) which takes about 23 minutes. On average one of these trains leaves from the airport about every 20 minutes and a regular ticket costs 114 NOK. The tickets for all the trains can easily be bought at the airport, or you can buy a ticket through the app Flytoget (for the express train) or Vy (for the regional trains).
Thon Hotel Opera is within walking distance from Oslo Sentralstasjon.
