The perfect time to visit Norway is during the summer months between June and August, when the temperatures are less frigid, the sun's in the sky, and tourism sights are open for business.

Norway's winters are long, freezing, snowy, and mostly cloudy. Be prepared for cold weather — wrap up warm, spend some time around a fireplace, and prepare yourself for icy excursions. Mind your feet, too — it could get slippery!

Over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies from 19F° to 70F°, meaning you're in for a winter wonderland all year round. You'll get some respite from the cold in June, July, and August, but make sure to pack warm clothing regardless.
