Weather in Bergen

Because of Bergen's unique location far north, on a peninsula, and surrounded by mountains, the temperatures tend to be chilly all year long. The warmest days fall in July, with an average daily temperature of 15°C, although the high can reach 18°C. The months of December through January see daily temperatures of 2°C to 3°C, so you won't want to forget your gloves and hat. The winter months are also very rainy in Bergen, so plan on bringing an umbrella and experiencing lots of cloudy days.

What to Do in Bergen

Bergen is busiest in the month of May, with many local festivals and dry weather for those who are into mountain hiking and climbing. Rates for hotel rooms booked during this month may be higher, so you'll want to book ahead on ebookers. June through August offer slightly less crowded conditions, making those months a great option for travel. Take a walk along the Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf to get a feel for the history of the area, or hike to the top of Mount Floyen for fabulous views of Bergen and the harbour. Bergen and the surrounding area offer a decidedly different holiday experience.
