Norway is a spectacularly beautiful country. This Norway packing guide will help you pack for an amazing trip to Norway during the summer.

Because of its northern latitude, Norway remains relatively cool year-round.

During the warmest months (June-August), average high temperatures in Oslo are in the low 70s Fahrenheit (F). Average low temperatures are in the low to mid-50s F. Expect temperatures to become cooler the farther north you go.

So let’s get packing! This Norway packing guide will help you plan for a wonderful trip!

Happy travels!

General Tips

A couple of things to keep in mind when packing for Norway:

  • Attire in Norway can be described as polished casual. While casual attire is generally worn, clothing is well-fitted with clean, neat lines.
  • Cool temperatures and rain are a regular occurrence in Norway. Plan on packing lots of layers to keep warm, even in the summer.

Now let’s get on to the Norway packing guide!

Tops

  • Blue shirt - Norway Packing Guide
  • Red shirt - Norway Packing Guide
  • Black shirt - Norway Packing Guide
  • Orange shirt - Norway Packing Guide

1. Long-Sleeved Shirt // 2. Light Sweater // 3. Short-Sleeved Shirt // 4. Sweatshirt

As mentioned above, Norway is relatively cool temperature-wise during the summer. I recommend packing mostly light, long-sleeved tops. You’ll be able to layer these tops for added warmth.

Pants

  • Green cargo pants
  • Red leggings
  • Hiking pants
  • Black joggers

1. Cargo Pants // 2. Leggings // 3. Hiking Pants // 4. Joggers

Attire in Norway is on the casual side. But the attire is also polished. You’ll see many people wearing long pants that are both comfortable and polished-looking.

Outerwear

  • Rose packable jacket
  • Black jacket
  • Blue rain jacket
  • Black scarf

1. Packable Jacket // 2. Light Jacket // 3. Rain Jacket // 4. Scarf

During my summertime trip to Norway, I layered two jackets over each other on most days. I wore a light jacket as a base layer, topped with a packable jacket.

While both layers were fairly light, the combo of the two jackets was the perfect amount of warmth for the weather.

I also utilized a rain jacket or a scarf on days when the weather called for one or the other.

Shoes & Accessories

  • Osprey backpack - Norway Packing Guide
  • Hiking shoes
  • Sunglasses with gold rims
  • Red knit hat

1. Backpack // 2. Hiking Shoes // 3. Sunglasses // 4. Knit Hat

Plan on wearing sturdy shoes with plenty of traction in Norway. There are lots of outdoor spots that can be slippery.

A light backpack is perfect for stowing your extra layers and accessories (when you’re not wearing them), including a knit hat and some sunglasses.

Other Essentials

  • Umbrella - Norway Packing Guide
  • Red and black water bottle
  • Sunscreen
  • GoPro

1. Umbrella // 2. Water Bottle // 3. Sunscreen // 4. GoPro

While I hope you have clear weather on your trip, there’s a good chance that you’ll run into some rain. Pack an umbrella so you’re not left drenched.

A water bottle for easy hydration and sunscreen to prevent sunburn are always a good idea.

And finally, a GoPro. I brought a GoPro with me to Norway and used it every day of my trip. Since it’s waterproof, I didn’t have to worry about it getting wet in the regular rain showers and waterfall sprays we encountered.

I hope this Norway packing guide has helped you to prepare for your trip! For more tips to help you plan your trip, check out this article. Happy travels!
