Parking
Public parking is available at the Oslo Science Park (Forskningsparken), just southwest of Ole-Johan Dahl's building. However, due to the excellent public transport system in Oslo (and the fact that the Metro and Tram stops are closer than the parking), we strongly encourage people to arrive via public transportation.
Around Oslo
Ruter is the public transport system in Oslo and the surrounding county. City buses, regional buses, trams, subway/metro, ferries and local trains are included in Ruter's ticket system.
