Situated 47km (29 miles) north of Oslo, Gardermoen is Norway’s main international airport. Built in 1998 and designed to cope with up to 17 million passengers each year, it is currently servicing 16 million. Users are wise to allow a little extra time – the layout of the terminal entails quite a lot of walking (or running if connections are tight).
Airport facilities: These include airport hotels, bank and currency exchange office, ATMs, cafés, bars, restaurants, various shops (including newsagents, a pharmacy and gift shop) and a travel agency. There are also lounges, a VIP lounge, silent room/meditation area, first aid room and a tourist information desk.
