Located in the heart of Bergen, just steps from the city center and a short walk from the historic Bryggen wharf, this beloved market has become an essential part of the city's holiday traditions. The market features charming wooden stalls offering an impressive selection of handcrafted gifts, traditional Norwegian handicrafts, and delicious seasonal treats. Families delight in the festive attractions including a towering Ferris wheel offering panoramic views of the illuminated city, classic carousels for children, and a magical Christmas tree forest that creates an enchanting atmosphere. The popular Varmestuen (warming room) provides a cozy indoor retreat with heated seating under cover, where visitors can enjoy food from the market's many vendors while sipping on traditional drinks from the full-service bar. The market's convenient location makes it easily accessible via the Bybanen light rail (Byparken stop) and within walking distance of all city center hotels. With glittering lights, the aroma of Christmas baking, and the festive spirit of Norwegian holiday traditions, Bergen Christmas Market offers an authentic Scandinavian Christmas experience.
