Welcome to Europe!
Hopefully your travels to Oslo have been smooth so far.
Arrival in Oslo
After arriving in Oslo, you will go through customs and pick up your luggage. If your luggage is delayed, you can report it to the airline before you exit baggage claim and they can likely send it to your hotel when it arrives (hotel address and contact information below).
Travel to Hotel Christiania Teater on your own
Travel by train to your hotel right in the centre of Oslo (~ 30 min.). You will see two different options to get to the city: Flytorget and vy.no. Take the vy.no line RE10 towards “Drammen”, RE11 towards “Skien” or R12 towards “Kongsberg”. All lines depart from track 4 at the Oslo Airport station. The trains run every 10 minutes and it takes about 30 minutes to get to “Nationaltheatret stasjon” (National theatre), your stop . From the “Nationaltheatret stasjon”, it is a walk of about 200m (5 mins) to your hotel, Christiania Teater.
You can carry your skis and luggage on the train, though there is not a special compartment for them, as this is a commuter train. That said, you are in Norway traveling from the airport into Oslo and people are used to having travelers with luggage and skis on the train.
Note: Before your trip please download the “Ruter” app. Here you will find all trains and times so you can see the options. You can purchase your tickets for the train ride either in advance or at the digital ticket kiosk at the airport. We recommend simply purchasing your train tickets once you arrive at the airport.
Directions from Oslo Airport to Hotel Christiania Teater:
Arrive at Hotel Christiania Teater
Your room will be ready for a check in any time after 3:00 pm. If you arrive earlier, you can leave your luggage with the reception and head out to explore until your room is ready.
6:00 PM - Meet for Dinner in Oslo
At 6:00 PM, meet in the lobby of your hotel. Due to a concert this evening, you’ll walk with your trip leader Gunnulf from the hotel to dinner at Cafe Skansen. At Cafe Skansen, enjoy a brief welcome reception and raise a glass to your trip ahead. Skansen is a traditional Norwegian restaurant in Oslo featuring seafood specialties. It’s about a 10 minute walk from your hotel, so we recommend wearing a coat and shoes to walk outside.
After dinner, head back to your hotel and get a good night’s sleep.
