From Croatia 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 Croatia it's a direct flight of under three hours from Split, Dubrovnik or Pula to Oslo Airport, then about 20 minutes on the airport train to Oslo Central Station, a 10-minute walk from the venue. Zagreb's direct flights land at Sandefjord Torp, south-west of Oslo.
From Zagreb to Oslo
Ryanair flies direct from Zagreb to Sandefjord Torp a few times a week in summer. The flight takes about two and a half hours.
From Split to Oslo
Direct flights to Oslo Airport leave from Split several times a day in summer, and take just under three hours.
From Dubrovnik and Pula to Oslo
There are also direct flights to Oslo Airport from Dubrovnik every day, and from Pula a few times a week in summer. Ryanair flies from Dubrovnik to Sandefjord Torp too, twice a week.
From the airport to Sentralen
The airport train takes about 20 minutes from Oslo Airport to Oslo Central Station, and Sentralen, at Øvre Slottsgate 3, is a 10-minute walk from there. Check which airport your flight lands at: Ryanair's flights from Zagreb and Dubrovnik land at Sandefjord Torp, about 110 km south-west of Oslo. From Torp, the Torpekspressen coach takes about 1 hour 35 minutes to Oslo bus terminal, and the train about an hour and a half to Oslo Central Station.
ID
Croatia and Norway are both in the Schengen area, but you must carry a valid passport or national ID card. If you're not an EU or EEA citizen, check the rules for your passport on udi.no.
Money and time
Norway uses Norwegian kroner (NOK), not euros. Visa and Mastercard are accepted almost everywhere, and very few places take cash only. Oslo is on the same time as Croatia.
Where to stay
Stay anywhere central: Oslo is compact, and most central neighbourhoods are 5–20 minutes from Sentralen on foot or by tram.
