From Canada to Nordic in Oslo
Nordic is a bachata and zouk festival in Oslo, with both styles equal, from Thursday 29 July to Monday 2 August 2027 at Sentralen. From Canada, Air Canada plans a new direct flight of just under eight hours from Toronto to Oslo Airport, from summer 2027. From the airport it's about 20 minutes on the airport train to Oslo Central Station, a 10-minute walk from the venue.
From Toronto to Oslo
From summer 2027, Air Canada plans to fly direct from Toronto Pearson to Oslo Airport a few times a week. The flight takes just under eight hours. The route still needs government approval, so check that it's on sale before you book anything else.
From the rest of Canada
There are no other direct flights between Canada and Oslo, so from other Canadian cities, change planes in Toronto or in Europe.
From Oslo Airport to Sentralen
The airport train takes about 20 minutes to Oslo Central Station, and Sentralen, at Øvre Slottsgate 3, is a 10-minute walk from there.
Passport and entry
Norway is in the Schengen area, and with a Canadian passport you can visit without a visa for up to 90 days in any 180 days. Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months after the day you leave. At the border you may be asked for your fingerprints and a photo, for the EU's Entry/Exit System. The EU is also bringing in a travel authorisation called ETIAS, so check travel.gc.ca's page on Norway before you travel. If you don't have a Canadian passport, check the rules for your passport on udi.no.
Money and time
Norway uses Norwegian kroner (NOK), not Canadian dollars. Visa and Mastercard are accepted almost everywhere, and very few places take cash only. Oslo is six hours ahead of Toronto and Montreal, and nine hours ahead of Vancouver.
Where to stay
Stay anywhere central: Oslo is compact, and most central neighbourhoods are 5–20 minutes from Sentralen on foot or by tram.

Three passes: the Nordic Pass for bachata and zouk, or the Bachata or Zouk Pass.
