Wear layers, tshirt, jumper or fleece, waterproof jacket take as much as you with you that you think youl'll need, especially medicines, as not many people speak English and everything is VERY expensive in the shops
I would highly recommend to take a warm sweater, water and wind resistant jacket and a pair of some light leather gloves. If you are planning to do some climbing on the rocks - good shoes would be very helpful.
wateproof rucksack liner especially if your luggage is going to be in transit often! -woolen socks are a must-( if you do the tours like husky sledging, snow mobiling or staying at the ice hotel these are usually provided as part of the price)-waterproof well insulated boots (again - these are generally provided by activity centres for excursions like husky sledging)-thermal base layer-fleece-waterproof jacket-woolen / thermal hat -scarf or even better a thermal neck warmer-salapets- thin jumper ( mid layer between thermal base layer and fleece) toiletries are expensive in Norway so bring your own!
We traveled to Norway the beginning of March, Oslo offered mild temperatures and very WET snow, slush everywhere.. no wonder the Norwegians all wear rubber boots, you need to if you want to stay dry!!!Bergen offered mild temperatures and lots of rain.. considering it's on the west coast (As is Stavanger) be prepared for some rain!!Pack water proof gear, jackets and mits.. umbrellas, yes, even rubber boots in the snow.. it's so wet you will soak through if you are doing lots of walking!!
Allround weather clothes What will the weather be like in June 17th at 4:09 pm? What clothes to pack?I get similar questions often, and this is what I answere:The thumb of rule is that there is no thumb of rule. Coastal weather is impossible to predict here in Norway as elsewhere. It will always be a gamble no matter what time of the year it is, and the odds make no difference if you don't hit them. If you are lucky, you will have the trip of your life!! Many think that that alone is worth the gamble.Welcome to Norway!
bring proper walking shoes if u plan to walk in the mountains (have seen tourist in city shoes and suits climing...not a good idea)depending on the time of year and where in our long country....winther: warm waterproof clothes and shoessummer: windproof gear, swimsuit...etcautum: water/windproof spring: anything fro tshirt to warm clothes if u plan to drinkalot of wine, vodka etc or smoke cigarets make sure u bring some with u from the taxfree befor arriving since we got high taxes on these things(ps! dont by beers in the most touristy places...the charge nearly double...find the local)
whenn i get visitors from abroad in wintertime they always freeze their...offno wonder since they use alot of cotton or acrylic etcthe thing to use is wool wool wool :-)))get longjohns and top of wool to have closes to ur body..nothing else or u will be coldand not to forget thin woolen socks maybe two....layers are important...it makes it easier to keep warmwind and waterproof jacket are a must ..not thick thick ones , its easier to do layer because the temprature might change from anything from minus 30 celsius to pluss 10 , when its windy its always colder than the termostat saygood shoes very important if you are here to see the country and not sit in the hotelbar :-) winter: keyword is woolsummer: keyword is wind/waterproof and layers
It's raining (almost) every day, as more you go north and inland it is less raining.At night it can get freezing. Take clothes accordingly. Good shoes is a must. Bring with you as much duty free as you can, everything will cost you double in local stores & pharmacies. If use use films, bring them in advance from where ever you come, everywhere else in the world they must be cheaper ;) As the prices of hotels are high as the Norwegian mountains, camping is very common and popular. Have a list of the camping places and you will find them a long the 1000 kilometres long roads of Norway.Good tents & sleeping bags; we always go to camp on the higher mountains, the mosquitos do not like the cold and then you can sleep batter at night and get back to the fjords in the daytime. Oh Yeh, Money, and lots of it...:-)
I suggest warm warm clothes and lots of them. . . and many many socks. It is very cold in Norway especially when skiing. I brought alot of warm clothes and i barrowed a hat from my danish family so i would not be cold and get sick.
The cost of any alcohol, i.e.beer, wine, liquour... is extremely high due to a) government taxes and b) greediness. If you have the opportunity and interest, do bring your duty-free quota of beer, wine, cognac, whatever you want to sip at viewing the midnight sun, sorry, sheets of rain...They are very good gifts here, too. On the other hand, you can get some very good wines at the Vinmonopolet liquour stores here since Vinmonopolet is a huge bulk purchaser/importer and can get good quality fairly cheaply. For hard liquour the prices here are prohibitive. Myself, I buy my Macallan whisky, Norwegian aquavit and berry liquours in the OSL duty free on departure from Norway and reimport it on my return home... Check your duty-free allowance quota before you buy on the way here. This place ain't Euroland!
