FAQ

The easiest way to get from Oslo Airport to downtown Oslo is by train. After passing through baggage claim and customs, follow the signs to the train station. You can either ride the more frequent (and more expensive) Airport Express, or the less frequent (and less expensive) Vy train (lines R10, R11, L12). Tickets can be bought at ticket kiosks just before heading down to the platform. The trains stop at the National Theatre station (Nationaltheatret), which is closer to CAS and may also be closer to your apartment accommodation in Oslo. You can also take the train to Oslo Central Station (Oslo S). From here, you can take a taxi to where you’ll get you keys. This step will depend on the apartment we’ve provided. You should have received some information regarding this from us in good time before your travels. The taxi drives are usually nice, and will wait for you while you pick up your key, and can then drop you off at your apartment. We ask that you pay for your train ticket and taxi yourself during your travel. CAS will reimburse the expenses.

In general, having a car in Oslo has become more and more difficult as there are limited public parking spaces. CAS does not offer parking opportunities. At certain addresses, FHA can provide parking for an additional cost. You can either pay yourself or contact your PIs to ask whether the cost could be covered by the group's budget. It must be approved by the PI beforehand. We will solicit parking spaces directly from FHA.

In cases of any special needs, temporary parking spaces can be arranged in The Academy’s courtyard during office hours and events. Parking is not possible overnight. Street parking is available close to The Academy’s premises, though very limited and with a charge.
