Røros Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Røros airport is just 2-3 km from the centre: a taxi covers the distance in 5-7 minutes for about 180 NOK (17 €). There's nothing around the runway, so there's no point looking for a hotel there: Røros has been a UNESCO World Heritage museum town since 1980, with the wooden houses of the copper miners still intact, and the historic centre is the only real destination for those flying all the way here. The choice therefore comes down to where to sleep inside or just outside the historic core, not whether to be nearby or not.

The UNESCO historic centre

City centre · Taxi from the centre to the airport in 5-7 minutes; the train to Trondheim and Oslo departs from Røros station, in the heart of the town.

Best for: Those who want the seventeenth-century wooden houses, Røros church and the mining museum a short walk from the room.

Pros

Cobbled streets, protected wooden houses and the mining museum reachable on foot in a few minutes
Several historic hotels to choose from, all within 5-10 minutes on foot from Røros church

Cons

Some historic buildings have narrow stairs and small rooms, being renovated houses rather than modern constructions
Out of season several restaurants in the centre close early in the evening

Pros

Indoor pool, sauna and wellness area under one roof, handy with children or on colder days

Cons

10 minutes on foot from the main streets of the historic centre, so less convenient for those who want everything always within reach
