Getting from/to the airport

The most convenient way to get from Oslo Airport Gardermoen to Oslo Central Station is by train. You can either take a local train operated by Vy or the Flytoget express train. The latter is not really much faster, but runs more often. Tickets for both of these trains can be bought from the machines of the respective companies at the airport.

Public transport

To reach campus Blindern from the city centre, you can take the metro from one of the stations Jernbanetorget, Stortinget, or Nationaltheatret. Both lines 4 and 5 westbound go to Blindern.  Alternatively, you can take a tram, line 17 or 18, from one of the stops Jernbanetorget, Stortorvet, Tinghuset, Tullinløkka or Holbergs plass in the direction of Gaustadalléen, and exit at the stop Universitetet Blindern.

Tickets can not bought on the metro or on the tram, and there are no machines at the stations/stops to buy them either. It is probably most convenient to buy electronic tickets via the smartphone app Ruter. Alternatively they can be bought physically at the kiosks Narvesen and 7-Eleven.
