Flight
Oslo Airport (OSL) – Gardermoen is Norway’s main international airport, located 50 km from Oslo. We recommend flying into Gardermoen for its excellent public transport links, including the Flytoget Airport Express. Torp Sandefjord Airport (TRF), 110 km from Oslo, serves many low-cost airlines but lacks direct local transport. Travel to Oslo requires a bus and train, making it a less convenient option.
