History & Culture
Founded around 1040 by King Harald Hardrada, Oslo served as Norway's capital through medieval times. A devastating fire in 1624 led to its rebuilding under Danish rule and renaming to Christiania after King Christian IV. The city retained this name until 1925, when it officially became Oslo again following Norway's independence. The 19th and early 20th centuries brought substantial growth as Norway's cultural and economic center, with grand buildings along Karl Johans gate reflecting national romantic architecture.
Oslo's Christmas market tradition developed in the late 20th century, drawing from broader European festive customs while incorporating distinctly Norwegian elements. The markets showcase traditional Nordic crafts, foods like gløgg and pepperkaker, and Sami handicrafts, reflecting the country's cultural heritage. Today's markets blend historical Scandinavian winter traditions with contemporary urban celebration.
