How to get from Oslo-Gardermoen Airport (Oslo Lufthavn) to the city center?
One of the most thought and feared issues when going abroad is how to get to the city center from the airport. Inadequate metro and bus connections from airports to city centers in some provinces in Turkey and having to use more costly means of transportation are also the main reasons for this hesitation. Contrary to this situation, in the big cities of European countries and other big countries, railway - train transportation is quite developed in transportation from the airport to the city centers.
Gardermoen Airport in Oslo, the capital of Norway, is also very successful in this regard. There is a train service that you can use between the airport and the city center 24/7. The most distinctive feature that distinguishes Norway from other cities is that it is a very expensive country in terms of public transportation, intercity transportation and almost everything. For cheap transportation in Norway, choosing a train or bus would be the right choice.
