Shopping in the Lillehammer Region

Lillehammer's famous pedestrian precinct

The charming wooden buildings comprise a multitude of speciality shops with products you do not usually find on the high street. Visit Lunula, which was voted Fashion Shop of the Year during Oslo Fashion Awards in 2012, or Husfliden Lillehammer, whose quality products are based on old handicraft traditions. Most shops in Lillehammer town centre are within walking distance of Storgata, and shopping can easily be combined with a visit to a museum or café. The main museums also have their own shops with unique items.

Art and handicraft

Lillehammer is known as a town of artists, and has a vibrant creative sector. Several members of this community are located at Fabrikken in the heart of Lillehammer – an old factory which today comprises workshops, outlets, offices and ateliers used by a number of small enterprises. Visitors can watch the artists in action and purchase unique products. Glassblowing at Hett Glass, for example, is an experience not to be missed.
