Park centrally in Oslo when Ring 1 closes
From 1st of July 2024, Ring 1 will close due to the upgrade of the two tunnels, Hammersborgtunnel and Vaterlandstunnel. The road between Oslo Spektrum and the intersection Pilestredet/St.Olavsgate will be closed for traffic for the next three years.
Here are your best parking options, whether you're driving from the east or the west. See you there!
