Accomodation and travel formation
We have booked a room for you at Scandic Holberg Hotel.
How to get from OSL airport to Scandic Holberg Hotel:
The easiest way to get from OSL airport to Hotel Scandic Holberg is to take the airport express train (Flytoget) to the Nationaltheatret station.
Alternatively (to a lower price) you can take the local train or Intercity train (Vy). The transportation time from the airport to the Nationaltheatre for this train is one minute longer than for the express train. This train is not well marked at the airport. Please ask the information desk for directions. Tickets available at the track in the machine or at the train information desk during working hours. Train tables.
How to get to the seminar:
The seminar is held at Univeristy of Oslo, in the Harald Schjelderups hus. Take the Metro from the Natinaltheatret station to Blindern station. Metro number 4 or 5. Please make sure you choose the west bound platform!
Metro tickets can be bought at the Narvesen kiosk at the Nationaltheatret Metro station, or in the machines at the station.
