Gingerbread City

Norwegian entry prices: high. From 15 years on they are already considered adults. It's a fun exhibition, smells delicious, some works are really original and elaborated whilst others are just ok. A pitty, they do not place the impressive ones in a visible front place. A lost opportunity, to explain how and why this exhibition is put together and who contributes.

Perfect place for spending time with or without kids. Seeing all the gingerbread buildings is so fascinating 😍 I was there two times now and it's always a cool plan to have when you are in Bergen for Christmas time.

Love the idea, love the smell of gingerbreads! However price of 199nok is just not justifing it in regards to size of exhibition and time spend around there.

Very pretty Gingerbread village. Not cheap though, but i enjoyed it.

Very nice gingerbread houses look a like of Bergen city of its nabouring Isles. Take your kids and enjoy 🤘🫶

Pepperkakebyen is a magical winter wonderland that you absolutely cannot miss if you visit Bergen in November or December. It is officially the world's largest gingerbread city, and the level of detail is staggering. From tiny gingerbread versions of the Bryggen houses to moving trains and even glowing ferris wheels, everything is made of real gingerbread, icing, and candy. The smell of cinnamon and sugar as you walk in is incredible! It’s heartwarming to know that thousands of local children and businesses contribute to building this every year. Pro tip: It gets very crowded on weekends and during school holidays, so try to visit on a weekday morning for a more peaceful experience. Also, your ticket helps support children's charities, making the visit even more meaningful. A truly unique and 'sweet' tradition that captures the spirit of Bergen perfectly!

I love gingerbread! The smell was amazing, of course. They are made by locals/members of the community. Alot of detail in a lot of them. The staff set the gingerbread up (make the displays) in a large room. Some of the pieces were broken unfortunately. I was a bit underwhelmed to be honest, however, I was expecting a LARGE gingerbread display, like large houses and gingerbread men etc. But it is still pretty cool and peoples ability to create something artistic always amazes me. Definitely great for kids.

Loved this beautiful Gingerbread town built by local kids. The dim lighting, fake snowy landscape and little touches like a model train travelling through the Gingerbread town made this experience feel so magical! There were some other quirky details like the Bergen Pokemon Arena and the Grinch house that made us chuckle. Note: This exhibit is not life-size, so do not expect to Hansel and Gretel through it. It's a miniature replica of the city.
