Any Norwegians here?

Does anybody have an idea of how best to get from Central Oslo to the Valhall arena, where KISS will be playing?

It will be my first time in Norway, and cannot read any of the Norwegian websites!

Oh to be multilingual!

I've never been a big KISS fan, but I've been playing Guitar Hero 2 lately and one of the songs is "Strutter". I had to go download the single.

Anyway, sorry I can't help with directions... sounds like fun. :wink:

Take the tube from the central station to the Helsfyr station and then it's a short walk to the hall (around half a mile), so just follow the crowd there. Look here on google maps, the tube station is also visible.

Thank you very much indeed for that!

This forum never fails to amaze me.

It's the Norwegian constitution day, and it might be a bit crowded in the streets this day:

And, if memory serves me right, the central station is at the end of the street in that picture, about one kilometer down from where it was taken. :)

Kurt you make a good point then.

It is the 30th-1st I will be there, so I will be safe.

I am at present saving three months pay, so I can afford to buy myself a beer whilst there!!!
