Best time to visit Norway

November to February is northern lights season in Tromsø: long nights, with daytime temperatures around freezing.

June to August is the loveliest time for the fjords and nature, and the sun barely sets in the north (around 16° by day in Tromsø).

Rain and snow are frequent all year, so bring waterproof clothing.

Before you travel

  • Norway is one of Europe's most expensive countries, so book hotels and flights early.
  • To see the northern lights, get away from city lights and pick clear, moonless nights.
  • Winter in the north is harsh, so wear layers and waterproof winter boots.
