The closest airport is Oslo airport Gardemoen (OSL).
The Oslo Airport Express Train (Flytoget) leaves from inside the Oslo Airport terminal building 70 meters to the right after leaving the custom area in the arrival hall. Your train ticket must be bought before boarding the train. There is a ticket office and vending machines in the arrival area before accessing the train. This service is the fastest and most frequent way of travelling between the Airport and the city. This is also one of the fastest going airport trains in the world running at a speed of 210 km/h.
The train takes you downtown to Oslo Central Station (Oslo S) in 19 minutes and leaves every 10 minutes. Every second train also stops at Lillestrøm, Oslo Central Station, Nationaltheatret, Skøyen, Lysaker, Sandvika and Asker.
If you wish to travel directly to Cisco, you need to get off at Lysaker Station and take a taxi from there. Travel time from the airport to Lysaker is about 40 minutes and the Cisco office is 5 minutes from the train station by car. There is a taxi stand right outside of the station. You can also take the bus to the Cisco Office, bus 151 or 252 to "Oksenøyveien", this is the next stop after Lysaker station and it stops right outside the main building. The entrance to the office is located on the opposite side of the building.
