Getting to the hotel from the airport
The fastest way of getting from the airport to Scandic St. Olavs plass is taking the Airport Express train to Nationaltheatret (National Theatre). The Airport Express train leaves every 20 minutes and the travel time is 25 minutes. When you get to Nationaltheatret station, walk down Karl Johan and turn left at Universitetsgata. Follow Universitetsgata all the way to St. Olavs plass and you will see the hotel on the corner of the square. The address is St. Olavs plass 1 and the full walk takes about 10 minutes.
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.
Getting to the University of Oslo from the hotel
1. Ask in the hotel reception where you can buy a tram ticket, and where the tram line for tram 17 or 18 is, direction north (toward Rikshospitalet)
2. The tram leaves from “Holbergs plass”, a few minutes walk from your hotel. Follow St. Olavs gate across Pilestredet until you see the tram line. Turn right and follow the tram line to the station. You can take both line 17 and 18; they go in the same direction.
3. After 9 minutes, exit at station Universitetet Blindern.
4. Then, on the left, you have two tall buildings. The Eilert Sundt building is the one to the left.
You may also walk 8 minutes to the Nationalteateret metro station and take the Subway line 5 ("Sognsvann" or "Ringen via Majorstuen") or line 4 ("Vestli via Majorstuen") westbound to Forskningsparken.
