Bookshop · City centre · Universitetsgata · Oslo
Bring a little Oslo home from an independent bookshop known for comics, ideas and queer literature.
Explore Tronsmo’s books and eventsThere is something satisfying about finding a book during a city break and carrying a little of that place into the journey home. At Tronsmo, books and comics give you plenty of reasons to browse. The independent shop has been part of Oslo’s literary life since 1973, and VisitOSLO singles it out for its thoughtful selection of queer literature.
We’d make this a daytime stop with no urgent booking immediately afterwards. Explore the comics as well as the books, and look through the current events if a signing or launch appeals to you. The shop’s interest in different voices makes it a useful addition to an LGBTQ+ Oslo itinerary, while its central address pairs easily with a walk through the city.
