Norway is known for its design sensibility and minimalism especially when it comes to fashion, décor, architecture. The shopping streets in Norway are now in demand more than they ever were and make for a great change from the usual.

Going to the markets is fun in Norway. Flea Markets in Bergen, Christmas markets in Roros, Viking Market in Hovag and Farmers Market in Oslo are just a few of the many in the country. Norway’s quirky yet fun crafts are unlike any other. Irrespective of your preferences in design – minimalistic or quirky – the country’s crafts are sure to catch your attention.

While souvenirs, costumes, cured meats and candies remain eternal favourites, there are many other things that you can find in Norway. The sweaters, for example not only bear the signature design, but are also made of natural and local wool. Kitchenware, utility, garments shoes – if you love design, you’d come back with empty pockets and full bags.
