Oslo New Years Eve 2024

Things to do on new years eve in Oslo, Norway. Where to watch the fireworks, best parties & hotels for NYE 2023-2024.

Norway's capital is home to over 1000,000 people and is a ranked as one of the most expensive cities in the world, but don't let that put you off as this city has a lot to offer those who venture there for their Christmas and New Years Eve celebrations.

Art lovers will want to visit the Munch Museum to gaze upon the artists works or visit one of the many other museums in the city, there's over 40 to choose from so I think you'll be able to find a few that suits your tastes or plan to see one of the operas or ballet, or even just visit the Opera House (Operahuset).

Adventurers will be looking for some snow for skiing, toboganning, cross country ski trails, sledding and ice skating all of which Oslo has in abundance.

New Year Eve Fireworks

There is normally a great choice of New Years Eve events in Oslo, including some stunning fireworks displays. Head towards Radhusplassen and City Hall and join other revellers for midnight to watch the fireworks.

The official fireworks display was scrapped back in 2021 citing environmental and animal considerations. However private, residential fireworks have still been allowed between 6pm and 2am on the 31st December.

Another gathering point is Frognerparken, so wrap up warm and get out there to enjoy the festivities.

Many of the clubs have great events planned for New Years Eve, so check with the venues and get your tickets well in advance as the most popular venues will book up quickly.

Christmas Markets

There's a multitude of Christmas markets to choose from including Spikersuppa in the city centre where you can enjoy a ride on the ferris wheel and enjoy some delicious food stalls. You'll want to just saunter through the city streets as the it is lit up like a scene straight from a Christmas card, it's really quite a beautiful place to be during the festive period.

New Years Eve Hotels

The city's many hotels have some fantastic New Years Eve events, but they sell out very quickly so you best book well in advance if you have something in particular in mind.
