Flights to Oslo - Frequently Asked Questions
+ What is the best time to visit Oslo ?
The best time to visit Oslo (OSL) for comfortable sightseeing runs from late May through early September, when daytime temperatures are mild and most attractions, cafés and fjord cruises operate long hours. June, July and August bring the warmest weather and very long daylight for outdoor activities in parks, on the Oslofjord islands and along the waterfront. May and September are slightly cooler with fewer peak-season crowds while museums and major sights remain open. For winter sports in the surrounding hills and a festive city atmosphere, the colder period from December to March offers snow, short days and crisp winter conditions.

Oslo Airport (OSL) at Gardermoen lies about 50 km north of central Oslo.
