The Journey: Oslo (OSL) to Rotterdam (RTM)
Connecting the Norwegian capital to the South Holland province is a journey of efficiency.
- 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.
- The Route: While direct flights may be seasonal, most itineraries involve a quick and efficient connection via a major hub like London City or Zurich. We prioritize routes with short layovers to keep your total travel time competitive with flying into Amsterdam, but with a much smoother arrival experience.
- Arrival in Rotterdam: You will land at Rotterdam The Hague Airport (RTM). It is a boutique international airport known for its incredible speed. You can often be from the plane door to the taxi stand in under 20 minutes—a level of convenience that is highly valued by our frequent flyers.
Destination: Rotterdam – Manhattan on the Maas
Rotterdam is a city that reinvented itself after WWII, resulting in a skyline that is unique in Europe.
- Architecture and Innovation
Rotterdam is an open-air museum of modern architecture. The Cube Houses (Kubuswoningen), the Erasmus Bridge (The Swan), and the imposing De Rotterdam building create a futuristic vibe. A visit to the Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen, the world's first publicly accessible art depot with its mirrored façade, is a must. - The Markthal
For foodies, the Markthal is the centerpiece. It is a massive residential and office building shaped like a horseshoe, with a vibrant food market underneath. The ceiling is covered in a massive artwork known as the "Horn of Plenty." Here you can sample Dutch cheeses, stroopwafels, and international cuisine. - Gateway to The Hague
One of the biggest perks of flying into RTM is its proximity to The Hague (Den Haag), the seat of the Dutch government and the Royal Family. It is just a short 25-minute drive or metro ride away, effectively giving you two major cities for the price of one flight.
Practical Travel Tips for Norwegians
- Transport: The Metro Line E (RandstadRail) connects the airport (via a short shuttle bus) to both Rotterdam Central Station and The Hague Central Station efficiently.
- Biking: Like the rest of the Netherlands, Rotterdam is built for bikes. Renting a bicycle is the best way to see the city, especially crossing the Erasmus Bridge to the Kop van Zuid district.
- Water Taxi: Use the water taxis to get around the harbor. It is fast, fun, and offers the best views of the skyline from the water.
- Currency: The Netherlands uses the Euro (EUR). Card acceptance is nearly universal, similar to Norway.
