Getting Around

The city centre is 1x1 square kilometers, making everything in walking distance. With a distance of only 3 kilometers between the city center and the campus, you can either walk, take the bus or a taxi between the locations. Travelling with our fully electric busses is very easy. With the AKT travel planner and mobile app, you can travel easy both in and outside of Kristiansand. The 24-hour ticket allows unlimited travel in Kristiansand, and may be purchased on the bus, at the customer service center or in the online shop.

Kristiansand airport is called Kjevik (KRS/ENCN). There are direct flights to Kjevik from Oslo, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam, and several days a week from London. There are also frequent domestic flights to Kjevik from Bergen, Stavanger, and Trondheim. From Kjevik, the bus to the city centre takes approx. 25 minutes.

Bus
The local bus (line 35 Tveit) is the local bus service between the city of Kristiansand and Kjevik. As any local route, line 35 follows a scheduled route/time plan, and will not customize its departure times due to for example delayed flight arrivals. Line 35 departs from bus stop A at the terminal, at 5 minutes to each hour. It takes approximately 33 minutes from the airport to the city center. We advise you to download the AKT travel planner and mobile app.

Taxi
Approx. 400 NOK one way for up to four persons. Please note that there are fixed rates from/to the airport.
