Julemarkedet i Trondheim

Visitors can wander among decorated wooden chalets and snow tents filled with handcrafted gifts, farm foods, and holiday goods from over 80 exhibitors. Inside a giant Lavvo tent, guests gather on reindeer-skin benches around open fires for live troubadour music, local brews, and dishes like reindeer burgers and bacalao. The grounds also host cultural performances, a 45-meter Ferris wheel overlooking the city, and horse-and-carriage rides through festively decorated streets.

Tips & Advice

  • Head to the Lavvo on a Thursday or Friday, when it stays open late for local brews, reindeer burgers and troubadour music around the open fires.
  • Reserve a table in the Lavvo ahead of time if you're coming with a group and want to sit together on the reindeer-skin benches.
  • Park in one of the closest garages, Trondheim Torg, Leuthenhaven or Statens hus, or come by bus, train or bike, since Torvet is the city's main transit hub.
  • Walk over to Munkegata and its small forest of spruce trees if you want to pick out this year's Christmas tree while you shop.
  • Dress warmly for browsing the outdoor wooden stalls and snow tents on Torvet, then warm up by the fires inside the Lavvo.
