- Practical information -

How to get to Simula:

From the airport OSL Gardermoen:

The most convenient way to go from the airport OSL Gardermoen to Simula is to use the Airport express train. The closest train stop is Lysaker, and there is a train departing from Gardermoen to Lysaker every 20 minutes. The train ride from Gardermoen to Lysaker takes 35 minutes and costs NOK 160 (approx. 20 EUR) and you can buy your ticket at the train station.

From Lysaker train station, switch to bus 31 towards "Snarøya" or "Fornebu". The bus stop is on your right hand side at the station exit. You can buy a ticket on the bus. There is a bus departing from Lysaker at least every 10 minutes. Take the bus to "IT Fornebu" bus station (approximately 6 minutes). From the bus stop at "IT Fornebu", you will be able to see the "IT Fornebu" building. The entrance is on the other side (the sea side) of the grey and blue colored terminal building. You will find Simula on the fourth floor. (You may use either the entrance at Martin Linges vei 25 or 17).

From the city center:

To go from Oslo City center to Simula, take bus 31 towards "Snarøya" or "Fornebu".
Bus 31 stops at several places in central Oslo; "Kirkeristen", "Kongens gate" and "Nationaltheateret". Take the bus to "IT Fornebu" bus station (approximately 30 minutes, the ticket you buy from the bus driver should cost 33,- NOK). From the bus stop at "IT Fornebu", you will be able to see the "IT Fornebu" building. The entrance is on the other side (the sea side) of the grey and blue colored terminal building. You will find Simula on the fourth floor. (You may use either the entrance at Martin Linges vei 25 or 17).

General information about all public transport in and around Oslo can be found at Trafikanten.

- Social activities -

Monday 11/6 at 19:00 there will be a three course dinner at Ekebergrestauranten. A sign up list will be sent around before lunch on Monday, alternatively you can sign up for the dinner by sending an email to martinal@simula.no. Transport from Simula will be arranged for those who wish to stay here. For the rest of you, the address is Kongsveien 15, and you can take the trams 18 or 19 to the stop Sjømannsskolen (Ekebergbanen). The map below shows the path from the tram stop to the restaurant.




Tuesday 12/6 at 16:30-20:00 we will have a boat trip from Lysaker, traveling around the Oslo fjord while eating shrimps and enjoying sun and sea. A sign up list will be sent around before lunch on Monday, alternatively you can sign up for the boating trip by sending an email to martinal@simula.no. Transport from Simula will be arranged right after the last talk on Tuesday, and the boat leaves from Lysaker Brygge ( click here for angular view). Our destination will be Aker Brygge in Oslo.

For the days with no fixed program, a restaurant guide can be found at spisekartet.no. Several excellent restaurants are located at Aker Brygge close to the sea.

For those of you who arrive before or in the weekend, we recommend buying the Oslo Pass for 24 hours of free access to public transports and most museums. The pass can be bought at tourist information offices.
