Buses to Hønefoss

Buses leave every hour from Oslo Bussterminal, until late in the evening. Night-buses on the weekends. The trip takes around one and a half hours, and is worth it for the view alone.

Make sure you get a seat on the left side of the bus when travelling from Oslo, to get the best view.

Askeladden reiser [2] has a regular transport from Hønefoss to Oslo airport Gardermoen [3] eight times every day from 05:30 in the morning to the last return from the airport at 10:45 in the evening, except for saturdays. Check the schedule under the link "Gardermobussen". [4]
