If you haven’t pre-booked a taxi at Gardermoen, always ask for the price before your ride. A random taxi from the airport to the city can cost over NOK 2,000.

Parking

Unfortunately, there is no street parking available in the area, so parking garages are the only option. Both the Nationaltheatret P-hus (Munkedamsveien 3B) and the Konserthuset P-hus (Munkedamsveien 20) are close by. The former is open from 6 AM to midnight, while the Konserthuset garage is open 24/7 and offers both indoor and outdoor parking, as well as charging stations.
