    Vestkanttorget

    End your evening by browsing Vestkanttorget. This antiques and second-hand market is located on the corner of Professor Dahls gate and Neubergsgate. It is a great place to look for unique souvenirs or just enjoy the local vibe before heading home.

Local tip

The sculptures can feel a bit disturbing in the dimming light, so keep your pace steady. Vestkanttorget is only open on Saturdays, so if you are visiting on a different day, skip that step or check the route for other shops.
