How to get to there?
If you come by car, it should not be difficult to find the conference site. Our conference is close to the main ring road (Ring 3) aorund the city centre. Using a GPS it should be easy to find.
Arriving by air you should take an ordinary regional train from the airport to the central station (Oslo S), not the Airport Express! The regional trains ar just as fast, and they are half the price. Tickets are bought on dark blue vending machines and are valid even on the tram from the central station to the conference site. From the tram stop Sinsenkrysset it 5-10 minutes to walk to Haraldsheim. You see it from the tram stop.
Coming by ferry from Germany (Kiel) or Denmark (Copenhagen or Frederikshavn) you will probably bring a car. If not there are frequent bus services to the central station from where you, on the same ticket, may take the tram to the conference site.
