What is Lysløypa?

  • Lysløypa is your guide to a warm, inclusive, and vibrant city. With Lysløypa, you’ll discover 30 unique and independent cafes, restaurants and cultural spots — and get a discount at each place. Brilliant, right?

    This year’s theme is “The Pride & Love Edition” — because we want to highlight the belief that it is a human right to be who you are and to love whomever you want.

    This does not mean that the places invited into this edition are only for queer people. No. Quite the opposite. Everyone is welcome. But a condition for participating this year is that the places involved share this value.

    At Lysløypa, we wholeheartedly want everyone to be able to live as themselves — fully and freely. That is freedom. And everyone becomes freer when freedom is for all. That is the kind of society we want — where you can be you, and I can be me, and where we meet each other with respect and care.

  • Lysløypa is a celebration of lifting others up — a tribute to collaboration, co-creation, and the power of shared synergies.

    We believe that:


    When you rise, I rise too.

    There is more than enough for everyone.

    Collaboration creates growth. And joy! For you, and for me.

    Lysløypa is our attempt to support and champion good initiatives — and to show you that they exist. We hope it inspires you to explore and discover the city.

    Thank you for supporting these places, and for supporting Lysløypa as well — we are a tiny business and a small team, and your support means a lot.
