ARENA Centre for European Studies University of Oslo

Sognsveien 68

The workshop is held at ARENA’s premises, some four kilometres north of Oslo’s city centre.

You will find us on the 2nd floor in a red brick building opposite to the foot- ball stadium.

The building bears a sign with 'Univer- sitetet i Oslo' and the entrance is be- tween the buildings of number 68 and 70.

From the city centre to ARENA

The metro station (T-bane) at the central train station Jernbanetorget is connected to the station Ullevål Stadion by the westbound lines #3 Storo, #4 Ringen or #6 Sognsvann (six stops). Jernbanetorget is the station very close to your hotel. From Nationaltheatret you can take the same lines, only four stops. All lines leave from the same platform. Tickets must be purchased in advance. A single ticket costs 30 NOK and can be pur- chased at ticketing machines at most metro stations, in most kiosks and using the ‘RuterBillett’ app (see more here: https://ruter.no/en/buying-tickets/tickets-and- fares/single-tickets/).

Oslo Airport Gardermoen (OSL)

Oslo Airport Gardermoen is roughly 50 km north of Oslo, and the Airport Express Train (Flytoget) is the fastest way of getting to the city centre. The train leaves every 10 minutes from Oslo Airport Gardermoen to Oslo Central Station (Oslo S), and eve- ry 20 minutes to the station Nationaltheatret (train continuing to Drammen). The ride takes 22 and 25 minutes, respectively, and the cost is NOK 180 (€20).

Tickets are available at ticket counters and vending machines at the airport, but the most convenient option is E-ticket. E-tickets are purchased by credit card at card readers in the Arrival hall (before the stairway to the platform). Electronic receipts (for reimbursement) may be printed afterwards by registering here: https://minside.flytoget.no/en. For timetables and additional information on E- tickets etc., please see the Airport Express Train’s website: www.flytoget.no.

From OSL to ARENA

Take any of the airport express train departures and get off either at Oslo S (Oslo Central Station) or Nationaltheatret. The metro station (T-bane) at the central train station Jernbanetorget is connected to Ullevål Stadion by the westbound lines #4 Ringen, #3 Storo or #6 Sognsvann (six stops). From Nationaltheatret you can take the same lines, only four stops. All lines leave from the same platform.

From OSL to Comfort Hotel Grand Central

Take the Airport Express Train to Oslo S. When you arrive at the station, turn left (or go straight ahead, depending on the platform) until you reach the part of the terminal called Østbanehallen. The hotel is in this building. It has one entrance from inside the terminal hall, and a separate entrance from outside.

Dinners

Both restaurants are within walking distance of the hotel.

Wednesday 9 March: Argent Restaurant This restaurant is situated within Oslo’s beautiful Opera house, which you see from the hotel’s main entrance. Turn left when you enter the foyer.

Thursday 10 March: ORO Bar & Grill Walk through the main street Karl Johan until you reach the parliament building (Stortinget). Cross left over the small park. Continue along Stortingsgata until you reach Tordenskiolds Gate, where you turn left. ORO is at the first left-hand corner.
