Weather Conditions in Norway
You might not think it, but Norway is a beautiful year-long destination. That doesn’t mean there isn’t a perfect season for your visit. For each season holds its own charm and variety of activity to make every journey memorable. To find out what’s the best time to visit Norway that fulfils your wanderlust, read through this handy guide.
If you’re looking to visit popular sites like Pulpit Rock and Trolltunga in relative solitude, spring could easily be the best season to go to Norway, with the added benefit of off-season rates. It’s also when the country is most picturesque, the ice caps beginning to melt leaving behind fresh waterfalls, lush meadows and cloudy skies. But it’s not all sunshine — you could easily get some rain! So, pack appropriately. This is also when festival season picks up and there’s a bunch for you to experience across the country — Sunfest in March, Stavanger Vinfest and Trondheim Blues in April and Bergen International Festival in May.
It’s no surprise that summer is mostly considered the best time to travel to Norway, with its pleasant temperatures and fully accessible countryside. Every mode of transport is on hand to take you to the incredible sights and sounds of this Scandinavian gem, under the sunny skies. Though you do have to consider that peak tourist season means higher rates all round, so making advanced bookings is smart. Especially with events like the Viking Festival, Konsberg Jazz Festival, Arctic Arts and OverOslo to look forward to.
It’s easy to consider autumn as the best time to go to Norway, despite the slightly colder or wetter days. For one, the country wears its most beautiful fall colours, open-air restaurants come alive and there’s tons of activities to enjoy. International Chamber Music Festival, Nordic Light Photo Festival and UKA are some of the most famous and visited events between August to November.
Discover the perfect winter wonderland and the best time to visit Norway if you’re looking for snow, celebrations and the northern lights as the colourful icing on the cake. There’s no better occasion to explore Lapland, go skiing, snowmobiling, dog sledding or even reindeer safaris. Christmas markets and other celebratory events give you more reasons to make a winter trip.
So now that you know that any season can be the best time to visit Norway, it all comes down to what you wish to experience. For the best package holidays to Norway , no matter what you pick, consult with SOTC today.
