Best Time to Visit Norway for a 7-Day Trip (Summer vs Winter vs Shoulder Season)

• Peak​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Season (June–August): Clear skies, fjord cruises, hiking trails, and 24 hours of sunlight make Norway a perfect place to visit in summer. You will have to pay top dollar and face the crowd of tourists, but you will have some of the most amazing outdoor experiences.
• Aurora Season (December–February): These are the best months for seeing the Northern Lights, going on snow safaris, and having cosy nights in the Arctic under a sky full of stars. You should expect very cold temperatures, strong polar winds, and a short amount of daylight.
• Shoulder Season (April–May & September–October): Good weather, lower prices, colourful nature, and the absence of the crowd make for a perfect trip at a halfway point. It is a great place for those who want to save money, take photographs, and enjoy the calmness of the ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌Nordics.

 Norway Travel Tips for First-Time Travellers (Money, Transport, Food & Packing)

1. Book​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Early: Vy train and Flåm Railway tickets should be reserved 1–3 months in advance to be able to get the most scenic seats and avoid having to pay last-minute premium fares.

2. Transport Mix: For short city travel, use buses or trams, and for multi-city movement, switch to long-distance trains or domestic flights.

3. Smart Spending: Norway is expensive, so prefer casual cafés for your regular meals and then spend once on an authentic Nordic cuisine to create a memorable taste.

4. Payments: Cards can be used almost everywhere, but it is wise to keep some small cash (NOK 550–1,100 / approx. ₹4,675–₹9,350) for rural kiosks, cabins, or craft stalls.

5.  Packing: Summer requires waterproof shoes and a light fleece, while in winter, thermal layers and an Arctic-grade jacket are needed.

6. Local Flavour: Consume reindeer, brunost, and fresh seafood, and make your purchases from local artisans as souvenirs to help preserve the real ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌culture.
