Wegbeschreibung

Buses:
The bus number 31 leaves Strandgaten in the middle of the city centre, outside the Xhibition shopping centre, and from Kong Oscars gate near the railway station. It uses approximately 15 minutes, and when you exit the bus, you'll be about 200 metres from the youth hostel.

To find the bus stop from the railway station, exit the railway station through the main entrance. When looking towards the park with the water fountain (direction of the city centre) head to your right, and keep walking in this direction until you enter the street named &quot,Kong Oscars gate&quot,. Find a bus stop (at the railway station-side of the road), and take bus no. 31-&quot,Laegdene&quot,. Ask the bus driver to tell you when you arrive at Montana.
