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.

This will be a fantastic treat for visitors to Oslo in this period. But, do not forget to bring warm clothes, because it can get really cold in this period!

During the Green Day tour in the start of 2017 Green Day will visit lots of important cities all across Europe.

Tickets for the Green Day concert in Oslo can be bought from Viagogo. The tickets for the Oslo concert is a bit more expensive than if you decide to listen to Green Day as they visit Prague three days before they come to Oslo. If that sounds tempting, then you can read more about events and concerts in Prague right here.

The Green Day concert in Oslo Spektrum is planned to start at 19.30, meaning that the punk band probably will be on stage earliest at 20.00. But, if you wait for something good, then that is no problem at all!

While in Oslo

If you have some hours to spare while in Oslo, why not visit one of the amazing museums in town? If you like history or want to know more about the vikings, then there are museums in the Norwegian capital perfect for you. There are easier programs to digest in Oslo as well, for example a harbor cruise where you can eat some shrimps.

Bruce Springsteen Oslo tickets

Posted on March 16, 2016October 3, 2016 by Oslo Guide

Bruce Springsteen will perform in Oslo on June 29th in 2016 at Ulleval Stadium. Want to grab hold of some Bruce Springsteen tickets for the Oslo concert?

People in Norway were not happy as the prices for the Bruce Springsteen tickets for the concert in Norway turned out to be really high, but still all tickets were of course sold out and the Ulleval Stadium is expected to be packed as Bruce Springsteen comes to perform on June 29th. If you still need tickets for the Oslo concert with Bruce Springsteen then you can buy tickets for this and all other Bruce Springsteen concerts in 2016 from WorldTicketShop. You can find the link a bit further down.

What might count as a small minus with this concert is that June 29th is in the middle of the Euro 2016 and lots of people will want to stay at home to watch all the excitement live from Paris and France on their television or computer screens. But, why not take a break from Euro 2016 as you watch and listen to Bruce Springsteen at the stadium where Norway normally play their national matches in football and at the stadium where the team lost 1-0 to Hungary in the first of two playoff matches for the Euro 2016?

Bruce Springsteen will also perform in cities such as Stockholm, Dublin, Copenhagen and more, while Budapest, Prague, Krakow and other more eastern cities will remain un-visited by the king in 2016. But the King of Kings will for sure be there anyway!

Norway vs Hungary on Ullevål

Posted on November 9, 2015October 3, 2016 by Oslo Guide

It is only three days left before the first of two matches between Norway and Hungary. The first match will be played at Ullevål Stadium on November 12th, starting at 20.45.

The second match will be played exactly 72 hours later, Sunday evening, the 15th of November, starting at 20.45. Only the second match will not be played in Oslo at Ullevål Stadium, but at Groupama Arena in Budapest, Hungary. Most tickets are sold out for these matches, so you will probably not be able to grab tickets for the matches, but you should at least make sure that you watch the matches. All matches will be send on Max in Norway (TVNorge) and in Hungary all matches will be broadcasted on their sports channel M4 (which is a totally free TV channel).

In Norway all the people cheering for Norway will spread around in Oslo before and after the match, but in Budapest the Norwegians will gather up in a bar named Becketts before the match and of course after the match as well, hopefully to celebrate the fact that Norway has qualified for the European Championship in France in 2016.

If you want to watch the matches online, then you can read more about watching them on Norwegian television in this article (Norwegian language) and you can read more about watching them in the following article on Hungarian TV. Notice that the article really is about watching the Champions League online, but since the same channel broadcast both the Champions League and the Norway vs Croatia matches online, just follow the same method and you can watch the matches for free online on Hungarian TV.

Go Norway and do not be surprised if you see football fans all around Oslo on November 12th before and after the first of the two qualification matches.

Norway vs Croatia

Posted on September 2, 2015May 18, 2017 by Oslo Guide

On September 6th it is time for a brilliant football match in Oslo as one of the worlds best teams Croatia comes to Oslo and to Ulleval Stadium. Norway will for sure want to revenge their terrible 5-1 loss from their previous match, and even more important, the vikings from Norway will need points to secure their qualification position for the Euro 2016.

Before this match Norway will visit Bulgaria to play the team on September 3rd, and the outcome of that match will for sure influence the importance of this match. Also on September 3rd Croatia will play against Azerbaijan, a team which Norway only managed to get 1 point against at Ulleval stadium in the pre summer, so Croatia will for sure be the favorites to win this match, but maybe the vikings from Norway can awake again and turn just as good as they were during a period in the 90s, when they even were among the top 10 teams on the FIFA ranking?

If you want to watch Norway vs Croatia online you will however need a Norwegian IP address for this to work and that can easily be provided by HideMyAss. Click the Norwegian IP address link and sign up, and once you have signed up you visit:
