When to take the ferry to Oslo?
Summer is considered the best time to travel in Norway. From June to August, temperatures are mild, varying between 10°C and 25°C, offering pleasant, sunny days. The magnificent Norwegian fjords are accessible by boat, and you can enjoy the midnight sun, which shines practically 24 hours a day in the northern regions. Outdoor activities are also very popular in summer, including hiking, camping, fishing and kayaking.
On the other hand, winter can be considered the worst season to visit Norway, due to extremely cold temperatures and very short days. From November to March, temperatures fluctuate between -5°C and -15°C, or even lower in some areas. However, if you're a lover of winter sports, this could be the season for you. The snow-covered mountains are perfect for skiing and snowboarding, and you may even catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights in the night sky.
