Handmade arts & crafts, unique gifts, local delicacies — it’s the perfect place to find something original.
Exciting rides like a Ferris wheel and carousel give the market an extra feel of fun and magic.
Warm up in the cosy areas: sip gløgg, hot chocolate or other seasonal treats while the city glows around you.
Entry is free, so you can drop in anytime and soak up the atmosphere.
🕰️ Dates & Opening Hours

Location: Festplassen, right in the heart of Bergen city centre.
✅ Tips to Make the Most of Your Visit
Dress warmly — winter evenings in Bergen can be chilly despite the holiday glow.
If you’d like a slightly quieter visit, aim for a weekday morning rather than peak weekend times.
Keep an eye on the programme for live music and special events on the market stage.
Explore the stalls beyond the main walkway — you might spot unique handmade treasures that make for great gifts.
Pair your market visit with a stroll through nearby festive streets or historic areas in Bergen to soak in the full atmosphere.
