Travel to Oslo
The main Oslo airport is called Gardermoen (OSL) and is very well connected within Europe, as well as served on a handful of routes to the US and Asia. The airport is connected to downtown Oslo by a 25-minute train ride, with departures at least every ten minutes. A secondary airport serving the greater Oslo area is located at Torp Sandefjord (TRF), with some European connections primarily on venerable low-cost airlines. The Sandefjord airport is connected to downtown Oslo by bus or train, with travel times around two hours.
