Christmas in Oslo 2007

December is a "happening" month in Oslo. The stores are full of Christmas specials, the city is gleaming with its Christmas lights, Santa Claus is in town and there are lots of things to see and do.

Christmas Markets:

New 2007!
Every day from 29.11 to 23.12 you will have the possibility to enjoy the largest Christmas market in Oslo’s history! In the harbour in front of the city hall the square will be filled with stand and tents, lit and decorated for Christmas. There will also be an outdoor stage with concerts and other entertainment.

For more Christmas concerts and events, please take a look at our What's on pages for more events. Here you can search for events on specific dates as well.

In December you should also try ice-skating right in the heart of the city - and if the weather permits it - toboggan at Korketrekkeren or go alpine skiing at Oslo Winter Park Tryvann!
You will find lots of tips when it comes to winter activities at our winter pages.
