  • Car Rental at the Airport – the perfect option if you're planning to start your Norway road trip straight away.
  • Flytoget (Airport Express) – reaches Oslo city centre in just 20 minutes.

  • Flybussen Airport Bus – serves multiple stops throughout Oslo and is a great choice if your accommodation isn't close to the central station.
  • Taxi – comfortable but considerably more expensive. Expect to pay approximately €90–140, depending on your destination.
