Public Transport - Train

To use public transport, head to your nearest train station in Viken. Take an NSB train towards Oslo S (Oslo Central Station). The journey usually takes about 30-45 minutes depending on your starting point. Once you arrive at Oslo S, exit the station and walk towards 'Karl Johans gate', which is about a 10-minute walk. Follow 'Karl Johans gate' until you reach 'Karl Johans gt. 22', where the Norwegian Parliament is located.
