Why Choose Ready2Go for Your Trip to the West Country?

The Journey: Oslo (OSL) to Bristol (BRS)
Connecting the Norwegian capital to the southwest of England is a convenient and scenic journey.
- Departure from Gardermoen: Your trip begins at Oslo Airport (OSL). As a world-class facility, OSL ensures a smooth start. We recommend utilizing the Flytoget airport express for a punctual arrival. Enjoy the efficient service and shopping options before boarding your flight.
- Flight Duration: A direct flight typically takes approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes. It is a quick hop across the North Sea. If a connection is required, we prioritize routes via efficient hubs like Amsterdam or Brussels to keep total travel time down.
- Arrival in Bristol: You will land at Bristol Airport (BRS). Located in Lulsgate Bottom, just 13 kilometers southwest of the city center, it is a user-friendly and modern regional airport. It serves as the primary gateway not just for Bristol, but for Bath, Somerset, and South Wales.
Destination: Bristol—Independent and Iconic
Bristol is a city that marches to the beat of its own drum. It is fiercely independent, historically significant, and incredibly welcoming.
- Banksy and Street Art
Bristol is the hometown of the elusive artist Banksy. The city is essentially an open-air gallery. Walking tours of Stokes Croft and the city center reveal massive murals and hidden pieces that define the city's rebellious artistic character. - Engineering Marvels
The landscape is dominated by the Clifton Suspension Bridge, designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Spanning the picturesque Avon Gorge, it is the symbol of the city. Nearby, you can visit the SS Great Britain, the ship that changed the world, now a fantastic museum in the historic dockyards. - Gateway to Bath
For many of our clients, landing in Bristol is the smartest way to visit Bath. The UNESCO World Heritage city, famous for its Roman Baths and Georgian architecture, is just a 15-minute train ride or a 40-minute drive from Bristol, offering two distinct city experiences in one trip.
Practical Travel Tips for Norwegians
- Transport from Airport: The "Bristol Flyer" bus service runs 24/7, connecting the airport to Temple Meads Train Station and the Bus Station in about 30 minutes. It is reliable and offers free Wi-Fi.
- Currency: The UK uses the British Pound (GBP). Card payments are accepted almost everywhere, from markets to buses, so cash is rarely needed.
- Power Plugs: Remember that the UK uses the Type G plug (three rectangular pins). You will need an adapter for your Norwegian devices.
- Weather: The South West is one of the warmest parts of the UK, but it can still be rainy. Bristol is hilly, so comfortable, waterproof walking shoes are essential for exploring suburbs like Clifton.
