Go on a lovely Christmas self-drive holiday to Bergen and visit the town's charming Christmas market - it's sure to put you in the right mood! The 'City of the Seven Mountains', Bergen, hosts a wonderful Christmas market every year, which opens at the 'Festplassen' near the small lake, 'Lille Lungegårdsvannet' in the city centre. There will be almost 80 individual stalls and stands selling everything from clothes and utility items to crafts, decorations and, of course, a variety of Christmas food and drink.

In addition to the many cosy stalls, there are also exciting activities for young and old, including a classic horse-drawn carousel and a large Ferris wheel from which you can enjoy a fantastic view of the city and the sparkling lights as they are reflected in the lake. There is also a small cosy Christmas tree forest which bestmet also contributes to the atmosphere.

In the inviting warming room, which seats 240 people, you can relax and enjoy the Christmas atmosphere with the food and drinks you've bought from the stalls. The warming room is open to everyone and provides a quiet and comfortable setting to sit down and enjoy the Christmas treats. At the same time, the warming room also serves as an information centre and an office for the gods during the Christmas market.

When you buy hot drinks at the Christmas Market, they are poured into a special Bergen Christmas Market cup, which you are welcome to take home as a souvenir. The cup has a new design every year, so those who come back several years will be able to make a whole small collection of the cups.

The Christmas market and the 'Festplassen' are located directly in the city centre, so it is a good idea to take the opportunity to visit one or more of the interesting museums located here.
