Paul I visited Oslo in early January and the temperature remained below freezing for the entire trip. It's bitterly cold, so make sure you pack thermal underwear and lots of layers. Restaurants and bars tend to be very warm inside, so you'll find yourself constantly stripping down. While the countryside is covered in a thick blanket of snow in January, the paths and roads within the city are quickly cleared. This means that you don't necessarily need boots - a good pair of trainers would do. You absolutely must wear thick socks, good gloves, and a scarf and hat. I didn't see anyone without a hat outside Paul

Rhian Westbury Like most Scandinavian countries Oslo can get pretty cool, even in September. It's still pretty light as the autumnal equinox happens around September 21st, which should gives around 12 hours of daylight per day. Rhian Westbury

Rhian Westbury September is a great time to visit Oslo as it's not too cold but you avoid the tourist crowds that visit the city between May and August. Rhian Westbury
