We recommend flying to the main airport in Oslo (OSL). From OSL you have a few travel options to Drøbak:
Car rental
For those unfamiliar with right side driving, we can assure you the drive is very simple. The Norwegian excuse for a motorway is only two lanes with a 60mph limit. There are a few 24 hour parking options in Drøbak if your accomodation doesn't offer parking
Chartered Transport
We are working with a local provider to offer mini-busses from OSL to Drøbak. For this to be cheaper than a rental car there needs to be between 11-16 people to the mini-bus. If you wish for us to propose a bus option, please let the bride or groom know your arrival and departure times and we'll let you know if there's any suitable options
Public Transport
From OSL there's two express airport busses (FB11 and FB12) that go to 'Korsegaarden'. They leave approx. every 30 mins and the stop is 15 mins from the house/10 mins from Drøbak. You can get an onward bus, or a taxi should be c.a. NOK 300.
Alternatively, a train from the airport to Oslo Central Station and walking 3 mins to the main bus terminal is also an option. Busses 500 or 505 depart every 30 minutes to Drøbak town center and take between 30-40 minutes.
There is also a more scenic option of taking the ferry from Aker Brygge to Nesoddtangen and taxi to Drøbak. Ferries run fairly frequently and times can be checked here. We recommend pre-booking a taxi for this option.
If you chose to fly to Sandefjord (TRF) we highly recommend you make your way to Drøbak via rental car. Relying on public transportation will require a shuttle bus to the train station, followed by a train into Oslo Central Station and is not the smoothest journey!
Within Drøbak Town Center the only hotel option is Reenskaug hotel. As such we recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.
For larger groups we also recommend having a look at AirBnB, Finn.no or Expedia.
Please note that we advise against staying at Oscarsborg Festning Hotel on the wedding day. As the hotel requires you to get a ferry to the fortress, and the last ferry is at 22:50, you might be subject to a rather chilly midnight swim... For those arriving earlier, the hotel may, however, be a novel option for Thursday or Friday.
For our luxury seeking guests, the Well is a high-end spa hotel with really excellent facilities. A 20 minute drive from the reception means easy access to the house.
Ramme Fjordhotel is a charming hotel nestled on the coast of Norway. With elegant accommodations inspired by historical country estates, the hotel is sure to offer a unique experience. The hotel is approx. a 20 minute drive from the house
Thon Hotel Ski offers a budget friendly conference hotel providing a decent option within 20 minutes drive from the house
Hotels in Oslo city centre are also a great option given the Saturday night transportation
For those travelling to Drøbak from Oslo on the wedding day, there are multiple options
The Flexible Option (Car)
For those coming by car, due to space restrictions we kindly request that you leave your vehicle parked in Drøbak city center or at the parking nearby the house (15 min walk). 24 hour parking options available here. We will arrange transportation from the church to the reception.
The Scenic Option (Ferry + Taxi)
There is a 23 minute scenic ferry from Aker Brygge (city center) to Nesoddtangen. You can then prebook a taxi to take you to the church
The Cheapest Option (Normal Bus)
Buss 500 leaves every 30 minutes from Oslo Central Bus Station to Drøbak town center. We will arrange transportation from the church to the reception.
The Fancy Option (Chartered Mini-Taxi/Bus)
If, like the father of the bride, you can't bare the thought of travelling on public transport whilst in full regalia, fear not... Please let the bride or groom know at least 14 days in advance. We will pair you with like-minded guests and arrange transportation for you from Oslo city center. To avoid you having to take out a second mortgage due to Norwegian taxi fares, we will have some creative licence in whether your chariot consists of a personal vehicle, mini-bus or bus. We will let you know what option we recommend and the associated cost before booking.
There are a few options for those needing transportation back to Oslo in the evening. For those needing to depart prior to midnight, we recommend getting a taxi to Ski train station (20 minutes) where there are trains running into the central station roughly every 10-20 minutes until 00:22.
For the late night heroes, we will be chartering a bus from the reception into Oslo city center at 01:00 the night of the wedding. Should you require a seat, please notify the bride or groom by the 1st September
For wedding guests staying in Drøbak, daytime transportation from the church to the reception will be arranged. For the evening, we recommend pre-booking a taxi from Holtbråtveien 161 here with a fare roughly 350 NOK
