From Finland 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 Finland it's a direct flight of about an hour and a half from Helsinki to Oslo Airport, then about 20 minutes on the airport train to Oslo Central Station, a 10-minute walk from the venue.
From Helsinki to Oslo
Direct flights from Helsinki Airport to Oslo Airport take about an hour and a half.
By ferry and train
You can also make a trip of it: Tallink Silja and Viking Line sail overnight from Helsinki to Stockholm, and from Stockholm SJ's high-speed train takes under six hours to Oslo.
From the airport or station to Sentralen
If you fly, the airport train takes about 20 minutes to Oslo Central Station. Sentralen, at Øvre Slottsgate 3, is a 10-minute walk from the station.
ID
Finnish citizens don't need a passport to travel from Finland to Norway, but the official Nordic advice is to bring a passport or national ID card, because there can be border checks. If you're not a Nordic citizen, bring your passport or national ID card and 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 one hour behind Finland.
Where to stay
Stay anywhere central: Oslo is compact, and most central neighbourhoods are 5–20 minutes from Sentralen on foot or by tram.
