Hotels near SALT Christmas Market

SALT, an arts and culture venue on the Oslo waterfront built from wooden drying racks inspired by traditional fish-drying structures, hosts a Christmas market that Visit Oslo describes as a quirky local favourite. It brings together independent makers, designers and food producers.

The venue includes several saunas, which are popular year-round, and its location on the fjord makes it a striking setting on a winter day. Combine the market with a sauna session and a cold dip for a true Norwegian experience.

Market dates for 2026 had not been announced at the time of writing; check SALT's website or Visit Oslo before you go.

Pro Tip: Book a sauna session at SALT before or after browsing the market, and bring swimwear for a dip in the fjord if you dare.
