Travel: Getting Here
Fredrikstad is easily accessible by train, bus, and plane, making it simple to join us from near or far. Frequent trains run from Oslo, Halden, and Gothenburg, and there are direct buses from Oslo city center and Gardermoen Airport to ensure a smooth journey. The last departure from Fredrikstad to Oslo is 22:52, so you can enjoy the full festival experience and still make it back to the city.
Pro tip: There will be track work during the festival weekend, so keep an eye out for bus replacements for trains. The Vy 6 bus is your best bet for a speedy return to Oslo.
Train and bus tickets from/to Oslo and Gardermoen Airport may be booked here.
Bus tickets from/to Copenhagen/Gothenburg - Sarpsborg (local connection to Fredrikstad) may be booked here.
Stay: Find Your Home Away From Home
Fredrikstad offers a variety of cozy and convenient places to stay. Scandic City Hotel is a fantastic option and a central hub for festival activities. Be at the heart of the action: Quality Hotel Fredrikstad and Hotel Fredrikstad are just a short walk from Fredrikstad Kino and the festival’s main venues. And if you’re still searching for a spot, Gamlebyen Hotell is a quieter option in the city’s old town.
