The Medieval Park is also the site on which the capital of Norway was founded a thousand years ago – and it’s only a short walk to the city center of Oslo, which creates an exciting rendezvous between nature and culture.

GETTNG TO ØYA FESTIVAL

TRAVELLING BY PLANE

There are three different airports that provide you with easy access to Oslo.
The main airport Oslo Airport Gardermoen(OSL) is located 45 km north of Oslo, but the city is also easy to reach from Sandefjord Airport Torp(TRF) and Moss Airport Rygge(RYG).
All of which have train stations connecting to Oslo Central Station. Visit Oslo has a helpful list of airlines operating from the airports.

TRAVELLING BY TRAIN / BUS

All trains arrive at Oslo Central Station(often referred to as Oslo S), while buses arrive at Oslo Bus Terminal.
Both stations are located right in the heart of the city!

TRAVELLING BY FERRY

Oslo is an important port serving cargo, ferryboats and cruise ships. The large ferryboats offer direct routes from Kiel(Color Line), Fredrikshavn(Stena Line) and Copenhagen(DFDS).

GETTING TO THE FESTIVAL

The festival takes place in the Medieval Park, which is located in Gamlebyen, the oldest part of Oslo.
It’s a ten minute walk from Oslo Central Station. Trams no. 18 and 19, as well as buses no. 34, 70, and 74, will take you from the Central Station to the Medieval Park in only a few minutes. Get off at the stop called “St. Halvards plass” if you’re taking the tram, or the one called “Dyvekes bro” if you’re taking bus no. 70 or 74. The Medieval Park will be in the immediate vicinity of both these stops.
