What is the best time to visit Norway?

The best time to visit Norway is from May to September. During these months, the weather is mild, and daylight is long, perfect for exploring fjords, hiking, and sightseeing. June to August offers vibrant festivals and midnight sun, while May and September have fewer crowds and beautiful natural scenery.
 

May to September


  • Why: Long daylight hours, mild temperatures, and open fjords & hiking trails
  • Perfect for:
    • Sightseeing in cities like Oslo, Bergen, and Ålesund
    • Fjord cruises (Geirangerfjord, Nærøyfjord)
    • Hiking (e.g., Trolltunga, Preikestolen)
    • Midnight sun above the Arctic Circle (June–July)
