Getting Here

From The Airport 

The Værnes Express Bus
Trondheim airport Værnes is located in Stjørdal, 30-45 minutes from Trondheim city centre. The Airport Bus – Værnes Express is a bus service which runs to and from Trondheim Airport every 15 minutes, for most of the day. The airport bus departs from right outside the arrivals hall of the airport and has stops at strategic locations near the conference hotels.  

Purchasing tickets on the website beforehand is cheaper than buying tickets on the bus. You find information about tickets and prices here: Værnes-Ekspressen
You can purchase tickets on the same day, and at location from a seller outside the arrivals hall by the buses, or on the bus.

Train from the Airport

There’s also a possibility of taking the local train from Værnes to Trondheim. The train from Værnes to Trondheim takes about 35 minutes. The trains from Værnes to the city centre run about once an hour and costs about 49 NOK (about 5 EURO). Get off at Trondheim central station. From here, you are within walking distance from most hotels, or you can take a bus.

To get to the conference venue from the central station, you can take bus number 2, 10 or 25 to the bus stops Studentersamfundet or Hesthagen and walk up to the Natural Sciences building. The 20 and 23 buses also stop at Studentersamfundet.

Taxi from the Airport

Lastly, you can take a taxi from the airport. The taxis are parked outside the arrival hall. To book a taxi from the airport, you use the Fast Travel kiosks located by the arrivals exit. You enter your destination and specify your luggage, and choose your vehicle. There is more than one taxi service operator in Norway, and the prices may vary depending on the operator. Use the Fast Travel kiosks to find the lowest price. 

Buses To The Conference Venue 

The Natural Sciences building is located at the Gløshaugen campus, on top of a small hill. If you want to walk to the conference building from the bus stops named Studentersamfundet and Hesthagen, it takes about 18 min. You will have to walk uphill, which can be a bit steep. From Studentersamfundet you can also take a local bus, number 3 or 22 to the stop named Gløshaugen, if you want to avoid the walking distance.

Getting around Trondheim by public transport

Trondheim has a well-connected network of buses, operated by AtB. We encourage LIBER 2026 delegates to use public transport to get around the city during the conference.

Buying tickets

The easiest way to buy a ticket is in the AtB app, available for iOS and Android. The app can be set to English and accepts international Visa and Mastercard. A Norwegian phone number is not required.

For all the conference hotels and NTNU Gløshaugen, you only need a ticket for zone A. A single adult ticket for zone A is valid for 90 minutes and lets you transfer between buses and the tram on the same ticket.

For more information on tickets, prices, zones and other ways to buy a ticket, visit atb.no/en/tickets-and-prices.
