Common questions
What is the cheapest way from Oslo airport to the city?
The Vy regional train is the best value, about NOK 120–140 to Oslo S in roughly 23–30 minutes. Flytoget is a few minutes faster but costs nearly twice as much. Buses are not much cheaper than the train and take longer.
How much is a taxi from Gardermoen to Oslo?
Taxis usually offer fixed prices to central Oslo, roughly NOK 800–1,200 depending on the company and time of day. Always agree the fixed price before you get in. For one or two people, the train is far cheaper and just as fast.
Is there a train at night?
Flytoget runs from about 05:00 until about 01:00, and Vy runs some later and very early trains. Between those times there are few or no trains, so for very late arrivals check the timetables or plan a taxi or airport coach.
Can I pay by card?
Yes. Card payments are standard in Norway. You can tap a contactless bank card at Flytoget gates, buy Vy tickets in the app or at machines, and pay taxis by card. Cash is rarely needed anywhere on the trip.
