At this square, you can find lots of stands from where you can buy all sorts of souvenirs and snacks. This is a place where you can taste Norwegian traditional snacks for this period, for example, Smultringer (a sort of donuts), and other snacks. There will also be possibility to go ice skating at the square, and if they follow tradition, there will also be a big Ferris wheel at the square.
It is free to enter the Christmas market area, but you will have to pay for whatever you decide to buy or activity you decide to try. The Christmas market in Oslo will be open from 10.00 in the morning until 20.00 in the evening, except for Fridays and Saturdays when it will be open until 21.00.
