Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit Oslo is in late spring and during the summer, as the temperatures rise and you can enjoy numerous outdoor activities. It can still get chilly, however, so make sure to pack proper clothes. Spring and summer are some of the most popular seasons to travel to Oslo, especially from May to July. During this period, you will experience nearly 24 hours of daylight. For those who are interested in winter sports, November to April are good periods to visit. In the north of the city, there are great skiing opportunities but be aware the temperatures are around freezing and the daylight hours are short.
