Plan your trip

Everything for your trip to Oslo in one place — how to get here, where to stay, and a full local guide to the city between dances.

Travel

Getting here

From Oslo Airport (OSL)

Oslo Airport Gardermoen is the main gateway — about 20 minutes to Oslo Central by the Flytoget airport express or a regular Vy train. Sentralen is then a 5-minute walk.

From Torp (Ryanair / Wizz)

Budget flights often land at Sandefjord Torp, ~110 km south. A free shuttle links the terminal to Torp station; from there it's about 1h35 to Oslo Central by train — or take the flight-timed Torpekspressen coach, also ~1h35.

Oslo City Guide

A short guide to Oslo — where we eat, where we go out, what to see if you've got an afternoon free — emailed to every ticket holder.

Monday City Tour

Meet at 12:00 in front of Sentralen on Monday June 8th. A walking tour through Oslo's favourite spots — a relaxed way to wind down with fellow dancers.

Stay

Where to stay

Sentralen sits right in the centre, and Oslo is compact and superbly connected — almost any central address is a short walk or tram ride away, so you can base yourself just about anywhere central and still be on the floor in minutes.

For the best value, book an apartment on Airbnb or a room through Booking.com — both offer a wide range of central places at every price point, with the flexibility to pick the exact location and budget that suits you. Hotels can be reasonable too, but Oslo fills up over the summer, so book early to catch the cheaper rooms before the rates climb.
