When is the best time to visit Norway?

The best time to visit Norway depends on what you want to see and experience. From June to August, the north offers warm weather, long days, fjord cruising, hiking, and festivals under the Midnight Sun.

May and September are excellent shoulder months with fewer crowds, blossom in Hardanger (May) and autumn colours (September).

What’s the weather like in Norway?

Norway’s weather varies by region, and it can change fast.

In the south and around the fjords, summers are mild, and winters range from -3 to 3°C.

In Arctic Norway, expect cooler conditions – summer highs of 8-15°C and winter often well below -10°C.

Coastal cities like Oslo and Bergen are milder and wetter, while inland plateaus are colder and drier.

How long does it take to get to Norway?

Direct flights from London to Oslo take around 2-2.5 hours, ideal for short breaks and Norway tours from the UK.

For Arctic Norway, expect a longer journey, while Svalbard typically takes 5–7 hours via Oslo or Tromsø.

Is Norway expensive?

Norway is one of Europe’s more costly destinations, especially for dining and alcohol. Joining Norway escorted tours can boost value by bundling key experiences, transport and selected meals. Cards/contactless are accepted almost everywhere, helping you avoid fees.

What currency is used in Norway?

The Norwegian Krone (NOK). Contactless payment is common, even for small purchases.

What type of plug is used in Norway?

Norway uses Type C and Type F plugs with 230V, 50Hz power. A European two-pin adaptor works for UK devices.

Do I need a visa for this tour?

UK passport holders can visit Norway visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Your passport must be issued within the last 10 years and valid for at least three months after departure. Non-UK nationals should check the latest guidance with their embassy.

What should I pack for my trip to Norway?

A trip to Norway requires thoughtful packing to keep you comfortable and prepared for all weathers. Regardless of the time of year, it’s a good idea to pack layered clothing, a waterproof jacket and trousers, and sturdy walking shoes.

During the summer, sun protection and insect repellent are useful for time spent around forests and lakes, plus an eye mask if you’re heading north under the midnight sun.

In the winter and in the Arctic, bring plenty of thermal base layers, an insulated coat, and warm accessories.

Swimwear is handy for saunas, while a small daypack, a reusable water bottle, a power bank, and a universal adapter can be practical additions.
