Oslo Any flights summary:

The main airport serving Oslo is Gardemoen international (OSL), which is just over 30 miles north of the city centre. Although this newly built facility is further away from the city it serves than many other European hubs, a fast and regular train service makes transfers to the central Oslo, and various other towns and ski resorts in the region, a relatively easy process. Alternatively, Oslo Torp airport (TRF) is one of Europe's most distant secondary airports, being situated about 80 miles to the southwest of Oslo.

A note about cheap flights to Oslo

If you're planning a trip to the Norwegian capital, rather than a drive around the country, then we should add a little note of caution with regards to finding cheap flights to Oslo. Budget airline Ryanair operates to "Oslo” Torp airport, which is around 80 miles from the centre of Oslo. Even though the main Gardemoen airport in Oslo is still some 30 miles out of town, it does at least have the benefit of an extremely fast train service linking it with both the city centre of Oslo, and a number of other nearby towns. Arriving here can cut out the long journey from Torp, which is made more tedious by the numerous stretches of single carriageway on the main E18 road between the airport and Oslo.

Naturally, if you're living in one of the regional cities from which Ryanair operate flights to Oslo Torp, then this extra inconvenience is easily outweighed by the ability to take a direct flight, and the huge cost differential between flying with Ryanair and flying on a network carrier through another city. However, if you're looking for flights from London to Oslo, there is usually a reasonable amount of choice available without having to go through Torp.

Note that KLM also offer flights to Torp from Amsterdam, which are badged as flights to Oslo. If you are already suffering the inconvenience of taking a connecting flight, make sure you don't end up in Torp, unless that is closer to where you really want to be!

Mini Guide to Oslo Any

Oslo is a city of contrasts: it is the oldest capital city in Scandinavia, but has only known by its current name since 1925, it is a magical winter wonderland and a fun-loving summer paradise, a business centre with a relaxed atmosphere, small yet cosmopolitan.

Spread around its very own fjord, the first thing that strikes visitors to Oslo is its charming natural setting. And despite the deep chill of the long winters here, this is an enjoyable environment at any time of the year: the islands of the archipelago, the Holmenkollen ski jump and surrounding forest, and the hilly Nordmarka area are all popular local options for outdoor pursuits.
In contrast, the heart of the city is a place of grand buildings, open spaces and stately gardens, with the sweeping Karl Johans Gate boulevard linking the royal palace, parliament and university.

Even the most worldly culture vultures would find it hard not to be impressed by the huge selection of museums dotted across the city – including the picturesque Bygdøy peninsula, where Norway’s maritime history is showcased by the remarkable Viking Ships Museum, as well as the Kon-Tiki and Fram Museums. Art buffs, too, will be more than satisfied by the extensive Munch Museum, where several versions of the Norwegian artist’s famous painting ‘The Scream’ are held, not to mention the National Gallery and Museums of Contemporary and Applied Art. The free outdoor sculpture park of Vigelandsparken is also not to be missed, particularly when it is covered in pristine snow.

If you’re planning to make the most of the city’s cultural offerings then the Oslo card, which gives free entry to most museums plus unlimited use of public transport and other discounts, is a must. Eating and drinking in Oslo, and Norway in general, can burn a sizeable hole in your wallet – start saving!
