How do I get there?

The festival takes place in the Medieval Park – which is located in Gamlebyen, the oldest part of Oslo – only a ten-minute walk from Oslo Central Station.
Getting there by car:
Parking space at the festival is highly limited. There are car parks at Grønland (a seven-minute walk to the festival) and at Oslo Central Station. We’re backing public transportation, and we hope you’ll do the same.

Although there is no coach service specifically for the Oya festival, public transport will get you there just as easily. There will be an Oya Card (available at the ticket and accreditation stand in Youngstorget) which will give you discounted fares on public transportation during the festival.
