Best time to fly

The best time to visit Oslo is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is mild and the days are long. Winter is also a popular time to visit for skiing and to see the Northern Lights, but be prepared for cold temperatures and shorter days.

Getting from the airport to Oslo

Oslo Airport (OSL) is well-connected to the city center. The Airport Express train (Flytoget) is the fastest option, taking around 20 minutes and costing approximately 210 NOK. A regular train is cheaper but takes a bit longer.
