to break this record in 2019 and are hoping for a

y HOW TO GET TO ÖREBRO?

By plane: Örebro has a small airport but not many
flights. However, the most convenient and least expensive
way would be to fly to Gothenburg or Stockholm, then
take the train (see below).

By train: Trains from all major cities in Sweden go to

Örebro. The venue is just 200 meters from the Örebro
Södra train station. Tickets at www.sj.se.

By car: 200 km from Stockholm (E18 towards Oslo). 280

km from Gothenburg (E20 towards Stockholm). 500 km
from Malmö (E4(E6) towards Stockholm, then road 50
towards Örebro).
How to get to the Bridge Festival venue: Conventum
Arena (Fabriksgatan 28) is situated in the middle of the
city, just 200 meters from the Örebro Södra train station,
and straight across the street from Scandic Grand Hotel.
