The route from Oslo to Pristina is one of the most vital connections for the vibrant Kosovar community in Norway.

Whether you are traveling to visit family and friends, attending a summer wedding, or exploring the rich history of Southeast Europe as a tourist, we are your dedicated local partner. We specialize in making the journey to Kosovo seamless, secure, and tailored to your specific needs.
Why Choose Ready2Go for Your Trip to Kosovo?
Traveling to Pristina, especially during the peak summer season, requires reliable planning.

Ready2Go offers a distinct advantage: we are a Norwegian travel agency that operates with transparency and local accountability.
- Understanding Community Needs: We know that travelers on this route often travel in large family groups and prioritize baggage allowance for gifts. Our platform helps you identify itineraries that offer the flexibility and luggage capacity you need.
- Local Security & Trust: We operate under strict Norwegian consumer protection regulations. In a market where travel plans can change, having a local point of contact is invaluable. You are supported by a team that speaks your language and understands the nuances of traveling from Norway to the Balkans.

The Journey: Oslo (OSL) to Pristina (PRN)
Connecting Gardermoen to Kosovo is a journey of anticipation and reunion.
- Departure from Gardermoen: Your trip begins at Oslo Airport (OSL). As a world-class facility, OSL ensures a smooth start. We recommend utilizing the Flytoget airport express for a punctual arrival. Given the popularity of this route during summer and holidays, arriving early ensures a stress-free check-in process.
- Flight Duration: A direct flight (when available) typically takes approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes. It is a comfortable journey crossing Central Europe. If traveling via a connection, we prioritize routes with short layovers to minimize travel fatigue.
- Arrival in Pristina: You will land at Pristina International Airport "Adem Jashari" (PRN). It is a modern, efficient airport that has seen significant expansion. Located about 15 kilometers southwest of the capital, it offers a quick and easy transfer to the city center and surrounding regions.
Destination: Pristina – Youthful Energy and Coffee Culture
Pristina is the youngest capital in Europe, both in terms of its status and its population. It is a city buzzing with energy, cafes, and rapid development.
- The Cafe Culture
Pristina is famous for its macchiatos, which locals claim are the best in the world outside of Italy. The cafe culture here is not just a pastime; it is a way of life. Spending hours chatting with friends in the cafes near Mother Teresa Boulevard is the quintessential Pristina experience. - History and Monuments
The city blends Ottoman heritage with modern history. The "Newborn" monument, which is repainted every year to reflect a new theme, symbolizes the country's independence. Nearby, the Imperial Mosque and the National Library offer striking architectural contrasts. - Gateway to the Region
Pristina serves as the perfect base for exploring the rest of Kosovo. The historic city of Prizren, with its stone bridge and fortress, is just an hour away. To the west, the Rugova Canyon and the city of Peja offer stunning nature for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts.
Practical Travel Tips for Norwegians
- Currency: Kosovo uses the Euro (EUR) as its official currency. This makes travel incredibly convenient for those coming from Europe. While cards are accepted in malls and hotels, cash is still king in smaller cafes and taxis.
- Entry Requirements: Norwegian citizens can enter Kosovo with a valid passport or a national ID card. No visa is required for short stays.
- Seasonality: The summer months (July and August) are the peak season for weddings and family reunions. Flights book up very quickly during this period. We strongly advise booking your Ready2Go ticket months in advance if you plan to travel in summer.
- Transport: Taxis are affordable and reliable in Pristina. Always agree on a fare or ensure the meter is running. Renting a car is also a great option if you plan to visit relatives in rural areas.
