Travelers, who are lucky to visit Oslo in the last weekend of the month, simply must visit the largest and most interesting flea market of the region, Slurpen. While walking among narrow trading stalls, it is possible to find many unique artworks, old books, vintage items, and other “goods with history”. For a small price, it is often possible to buy fancy looking old items. The flea market is also a great place to find locally produced clothes, including amazing winter sweaters and socks. Decorative handcrafted wooden items are another specialty of the market. For example, travelers can purchase skillfully made models of Viking ships as memorable gifts.
Steen&Strom is considered the most “Norwegian” shopping center in Oslo. At Steen&Strom, you will find only goods that were produced in the territory of Norway. For instance, this is the place to shop for traditional wool winter hats and sweaters with national patterns or find interesting artworks, such as popular troll figurines. The price of items sold in this shopping center is very different. Both fans of luxury and savvy travelers can find suitable goods. At the end of every season, there are always big sales at Steen&Strom.
