Guide to luxury shopping in Oslo

Looking for shopping tips? The luxury shopping scene in Oslo is just like the city itself: compact, yet it offers something for everyone.

While most visitors associate Oslo with nature, the Viking ship, the Holmenkollen ski jumping tower or a blooming architecture scene, the city has quickly become also a great shopping destination.

The best thing about shopping in Oslo is that all luxury brands are located in a small area right downtown, between Karl Johans gate and Nedre Slottsgate. As with all shopping in Norway, it’s good to keep in mind that most shops are closed on Sundays. Most high-end stores open at 10AM and close at 6 PM Monday to Saturday.
