The fastest way of getting from the airport to Scandic St. Olavs plass is taking the Airport Express train to Nationaltheatret (National Theatre).

Taking a taxi is about NOK 700-1000 depending on the time of day. Ask for a fixed price when starting the trip. However, we strongly recommend that you take the Airport Express train or shuttle bus to Oslo as it is both cheaper and faster.
