From lush, green fjords to bustling cities to ski slopes, Norway is an absolutely stunning destination. But because there are so many different things to explore and the weather can change drastically from season to season, you’ll need to make sure your packing list is on point so you can enjoy your trip to the fullest. 

No matter the season, be sure to continuously check weather reports leading up to your trip, as the weather in Norway can be quite unpredictable year-round. Layering is key! Additionally, many Norwegian cities are compact and walkable, and there are so many incredible nature spots to explore, so comfortable and durable walking shoes are a must. Be sure to check sites like weather.com, to determine the climate for the timing of your trip.

When it comes to what to pack for a trip to Norway, Scandinavian countries like this are very casual and minimal yet polished. Think chic, well-tailored pieces in neutral colors, but sporty attire is totally acceptable, especially because you’ll no doubt be doing some adventuring in nature!  

 

These seasonal packing lists cover all the bases for your exciting travels to Norway!

What to Pack for Norway in the Spring

 

Temperatures in the spring typically range from the 30s-40s ℉ (-1 to 4℃). You’ll feel spring earlier if you’re in the South, but in the North, it’ll still be quite cold.

 No matter where in Norway you are, springtime is chilly, and the weather can change quickly throughout the day. You should be prepared for sun, rain, and even snow! 

Warm layers, waterproof shoes, and a waterproof jacket are a must so you can comfortably explore the blossoming fruit trees, gorgeous, sunny landscapes, and rushing waterfalls from all the melting snow!
