June: Light, Calm and Icy Water<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For many travellers, June is the smartest compromise of all if you want to experience the Nordic summer at its most pleasant and peaceful. <strong>Statistically it&#8217;s the driest month of the entire summer season<\/strong>, which is a huge plus when planning treks in an area known for its frequent and unexpected showers. The crowds of tourists from all over the world are only slowly building at this point, so Lofoten&#8217;s main artery, the E10, stays nicely passable without you having to awkwardly reverse into the nearest lay-by every five minutes to let a German camper van past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another big advantage of going in June is the complete absence of pesky mosquitoes, which are still reliably kept in check by the fresh ocean breeze and the cooler start to the Nordic summer. <strong>The price you pay for this calm and relative dryness, however, is the sea temperature, which definitely won&#8217;t tempt you into a long, joyful swim.<\/strong> At the most stunning beaches, such as Haukland or Rambergstranda, the crystal-clear water is only around 4 to 6 \u00b0C in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sand here is fine and dazzlingly white, like somewhere in the Caribbean, but the icy ocean won&#8217;t let you forget for a single second that you&#8217;re high above the Arctic Circle. <strong>Bear in mind that even a simple walk along the beach will be far more comfortable in a warm hoodie and a windbreaker<\/strong> than in summer clothes, because the cold wind can drive the feels-like temperature down very quickly and mercilessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Tip: Book your accommodation and car rental for June ideally well in advance \u2014 even six months ahead is fine. Although the peak of the summer season hasn&#8217;t kicked in yet, <strong>the best value-for-money traditional rorbu disappear from the booking systems as early as the start of spring.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1068\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/211884-letni-plaz-haukland-9f26bc55.jpg\" alt=\"Summer beach at Haukland\" class=\"wp-image-214308\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/211884-letni-plaz-haukland-9f26bc55.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/211884-letni-plaz-haukland-9f26bc55-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/211884-letni-plaz-haukland-9f26bc55-700x389.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/211884-letni-plaz-haukland-9f26bc55-768x427.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/211884-letni-plaz-haukland-9f26bc55-1536x854.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/211884-letni-plaz-haukland-9f26bc55-696x387.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/211884-letni-plaz-haukland-9f26bc55-1392x774.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Michele Agostini \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 2.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_July_The_Norwegian_Riviera_Crowds_and_Mosquitoes\"><\/span>2. July: The Norwegian Riviera, Crowds and Mosquitoes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>July in Lofoten is packed \u2014 and I mean to bursting point \u2014 because Norway itself and the vast majority of the rest of Europe are on long school holidays at exactly this time. <strong>Prices for the classic fisherman&#8217;s cabins shoot up steeply this month to 2,000 to 3,500 NOK per night<\/strong>, which works out to roughly \u20ac170 to \u20ac300 for a single night&#8217;s stay in 2026. Renting even an ordinary small car is also a serious dent in your travel budget, costing 7,000 to 11,000 NOK per week in July, while a roomier SUV can easily climb to an astronomical 17,000 NOK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In July you&#8217;ll experience the Norwegian islands at their warmest, when the thermometer can occasionally show an incredible 25 \u00b0C. <strong>Don&#8217;t count on it under any circumstances, though, because the long-term summer average stubbornly and steadily sits between 12 and 15 \u00b0C<\/strong>, so a good down jacket definitely shouldn&#8217;t be missing from your suitcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When there&#8217;s no strong wind and the warming sun comes out, the tiny midges and mosquitoes take to the stage and can seriously spoil any evening spent out on the terrace. Compared to the Norwegian interior, where the swarms of insects are often unbearable, it&#8217;s still pretty mild on the coast, but <strong>a quality repellent with a high content of the active ingredient DEET is an absolute must<\/strong>, especially if you&#8217;re planning walks around inland lakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Tip: If you&#8217;re limited by a company-wide holiday shutdown and simply have to travel in July, arm yourself with a big dose of patience when hunting for parking spaces. <strong>Head to popular spots like the village of Reine or Haukland beach either very early in the morning or late in the evening<\/strong>, to avoid the biggest tourist crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1039\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lofoten-norway-srpen-navrat-tmy-a-slevy-pro-pe.jpg\" alt=\"August: the return of darkness and savings for your wallet\" class=\"wp-image-212174\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lofoten-norway-srpen-navrat-tmy-a-slevy-pro-pe.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lofoten-norway-srpen-navrat-tmy-a-slevy-pro-pe-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lofoten-norway-srpen-navrat-tmy-a-slevy-pro-pe-700x379.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lofoten-norway-srpen-navrat-tmy-a-slevy-pro-pe-768x416.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lofoten-norway-srpen-navrat-tmy-a-slevy-pro-pe-1536x831.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lofoten-norway-srpen-navrat-tmy-a-slevy-pro-pe-696x377.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lofoten-norway-srpen-navrat-tmy-a-slevy-pro-pe-1392x753.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Ximonic (Simo R\u00e4s\u00e4nen) \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 3.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_August_The_Return_of_Darkness_and_Savings_for_Your_Wallet\"><\/span>3. August: The Return of Darkness and Savings for Your Wallet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By mid-August the whole archipelago finally lets out a deep breath, which you&#8217;ll feel immediately in the overall atmosphere and in the state of your bank account. <strong>Accommodation prices drop by a very welcome 20 to 30%, so you can grab a stylish rorbu with a fjord view for far more reasonable sums.<\/strong> It&#8217;s also considerably easier to get onto the busy ferry shuttling from Bod\u00f8 to Moskenes without a long-standing reservation, although with a fully loaded car it&#8217;s always safer and more reliable to buy your ticket in advance via the Torghatten company&#8217;s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s one fairly major catch, though, and that&#8217;s the sharply increased rainfall that arrives as the Nordic summer draws to a close. <strong>Statistically, August sees rain on around 11 days of the month, which is three wet days more than in the relatively drier June<\/strong>, so your waterproofs will get a real workout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ocean, after a long summer of sun, is &#8220;warmed up&#8221; to its annual maximum of around 13 \u00b0C, but the number of grey, windy days is unfortunately slowly creeping up. <strong>The huge advantage of going in August, however, is the gradual return of darkness, which means the nights start getting longer and sleep suddenly becomes far easier and deeper<\/strong>, because your brain is no longer confused by the constant light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Tip: The second half of August makes huge sense if you want to save a fair bit on car rental and accommodation and don&#8217;t necessarily need the midnight sun. <strong>If you can make peace with the occasional bit of rain down the back of your neck on a mountain trek, you&#8217;ll get a much more authentic experience<\/strong> without the ever-present crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lofoten-norway-zari-a-podzim-zlata-stredni-ces.jpg\" alt=\"September and autumn: the golden middle path for the northern lights\" class=\"wp-image-212175\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lofoten-norway-zari-a-podzim-zlata-stredni-ces.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lofoten-norway-zari-a-podzim-zlata-stredni-ces-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lofoten-norway-zari-a-podzim-zlata-stredni-ces-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lofoten-norway-zari-a-podzim-zlata-stredni-ces-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lofoten-norway-zari-a-podzim-zlata-stredni-ces-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lofoten-norway-zari-a-podzim-zlata-stredni-ces-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lofoten-norway-zari-a-podzim-zlata-stredni-ces-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Ximonic (Simo R\u00e4s\u00e4nen) \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 3.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_September_and_Autumn_The_Golden_Middle_Path_for_the_Northern_Lights\"><\/span>4. September and Autumn: The Golden Middle Path for the Northern Lights<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>September and October are often described by seasoned travellers as a kind of &#8220;sweet spot&#8221; of the entire Lofoten year, because they combine the perks of a colourful autumn with the hope of unforgettable celestial displays. <strong>During this period the days start to shorten dramatically, which brings enough of the darkness needed for night-time viewing of the magical northern lights<\/strong>, while nature still gives you plenty of daylight for full-day excursions and demanding mountain treks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout September the landscape gradually changes into incredibly rich shades of yellow, orange and red, turning Lofoten&#8217;s valleys into an absolute paradise for every lover of landscape photography. <strong>At the same time the roads and the picturesque fishing villages are nearly deserted, so you get the irresistible feeling that the rugged Nordic beauty is finally all yours.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The weather in these months is considerably more unpredictable, though, and you have to realistically reckon with frequent autumn storms, strong winds and sharp temperature swings that can quickly drop to zero on the mountain peaks. <strong>In autumn some seasonal restaurants and more remote caf\u00e9s also start to close<\/strong>, so it&#8217;s very wise to book accommodation with its own kitchenette and stock up at the local supermarkets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Tip: If the northern lights are your main, dream goal, head here ideally between late September and late October. <strong>Don&#8217;t forget to bring a sturdy tripod and good warm clothing<\/strong>, because waiting for those green lights in the middle of a freezing night can be a real test of endurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/hamnoy_winter.jpg\" alt=\"Snowy Hamn\u00f8y in pink morning light\" class=\"wp-image-215355\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/hamnoy_winter.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/hamnoy_winter-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/hamnoy_winter-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/hamnoy_winter-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/hamnoy_winter-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/hamnoy_winter-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/hamnoy_winter-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"DepositPhotos\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/doporucujeme\/depositphotos\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Depositphotos<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Winter_December_to_March_Polar_Night_and_Snow\"><\/span>5. Winter (December to March): Polar Night and Snow<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Winter in Lofoten is a chapter all of its own and represents a completely different world full of dramatic visual contrasts, deep silence and a fascinating, frosty beauty. <strong>While in summer the sun never sets, in winter you experience the dark polar night, when the solar disc doesn&#8217;t appear above the horizon at all<\/strong>, and the entire snow-covered landscape is lit only by a magical blue twilight reflecting off the surface of the fjords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This harsh period is the absolute pinnacle for passionate northern lights hunters, because the endlessly long nights provide the maximum possible time window for observing this natural phenomenon. <strong>It&#8217;s also the time when the villages are intensely scented with dried cod hanging on giant wooden racks<\/strong>, and the whole landscape takes on an incredibly fairytale-like, pristine quality under a fresh layer of snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Travelling in winter naturally requires much more thorough logistical preparation, though, because the roads can be permanently icy, mountain passes temporarily closed due to avalanche danger, and the days extremely short for any longer journeys. <strong>Thanks to the influence of the Gulf Stream, temperatures rarely drop far below -5 \u00b0C, but the strong, icy wind from the ocean can push the wind chill to far more unpleasant values.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Tip: Tempted by snowy romance and chasing green lights across the night Arctic sky? <strong>Check out our detailed article on what to see in Lofoten in winter<\/strong>, where you&#8217;ll find all the essential information for travelling safely on snow and ice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lofoten-norway-pulnocni-slunce-magie-ktera-vam.jpg\" alt=\"Midnight sun: the magic that won&#039;t let you sleep\" class=\"wp-image-212178\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lofoten-norway-pulnocni-slunce-magie-ktera-vam.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lofoten-norway-pulnocni-slunce-magie-ktera-vam-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lofoten-norway-pulnocni-slunce-magie-ktera-vam-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lofoten-norway-pulnocni-slunce-magie-ktera-vam-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lofoten-norway-pulnocni-slunce-magie-ktera-vam-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lofoten-norway-pulnocni-slunce-magie-ktera-vam-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lofoten-norway-pulnocni-slunce-magie-ktera-vam-1392x783.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Virtual-Pano \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<!-- LKM_GYG_CARD start q=\"jet lofoty\" lang=\"en\" rendered=\"2026-06-10T06:45:20+00:00\" v=\"1\" -->\n<style id=\"lk-gyg-styles\">\n@import url(\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Playfair+Display:wght@700&family=DM+Sans:wght@300;400;500;600&display=swap\");\n\/* === LK GYG karty \u2014 CRO redesign 2026-05 (namespace .lkx-) ===\n   C\u00edl: vy\u0161\u0161\u00ed CTR (hero + v\u00fdrazn\u00fd social proof + ak\u010dn\u00ed CTA, m\u00e9n\u011b \"reklamn\u00ed\").\n   Injektuje se inline do prvn\u00edho markeru postu (refresh_cards.py --inline-css). *\/\n.lkx-module, .lkx-module *{box-sizing:border-box;margin:0;padding:0}\n.lkx-module{\n  font-family:'DM Sans',-apple-system,Segoe UI,Roboto,Georgia,sans-serif;\n  max-width:860px;margin:2.5rem auto;color:#1f2328;\n}\n\n\/* HEADER \u2014 lehk\u00fd editorsk\u00fd, \u017e\u00e1dn\u00fd bannerov\u00fd blok;

Midnight Sun: The Magic That Won&#8217;t Let You Sleep<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Picture this slightly surreal scene: it&#8217;s half past ten in the evening, you&#8217;re sitting contentedly on the wooden terrace of your accommodation by the fjord, and it looks like a beautiful late afternoon \u2014 except midnight is relentlessly approaching. <strong>The midnight sun lasts in Lofoten from exactly 28 May to 14 July<\/strong>, when the radiant solar disc just barely touches the sea horizon but doesn&#8217;t sink below it at all, and starts to rise again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For keen photographers and lovers of long evening walks it&#8217;s a dream come true, but for your natural body clock it can mean total logistical and physiological hell if you arrive unprepared. <strong>The body needs darkness to bring on deep sleep and produce melatonin, so if the light never disappears, your brain simply doesn&#8217;t get the signal to rest<\/strong> and you&#8217;ll be tossing and turning in frustration until the early hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, most more modern rorbu and better hotels understand very well that visitors from the south need darkness at night, so the bedrooms tend to have proper blackout curtains or blinds installed. <strong>Don&#8217;t count on it 100%, though, and just to be safe pack a roll of good-quality masking tape and a few strong black bin bags from home<\/strong> \u2014 they can quite literally save your holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Tip: If you discover that the hotel curtains let strong light leak around the edges, black bin bags taped straight onto the window glass will elegantly fix it within five minutes. <strong>Forget about clips, magnets or wedged-in towels, which in practice never hold on smooth windows and come crashing down in the middle of the night.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_The_yrno_App_Your_Norwegian_Bible_and_Planning_by_the_Hour\"><\/span>7. The yr.no App: Your Norwegian Bible and Planning by the Hour<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you end up going in sunny, calm June or grey, drizzly August, the Lofoten weather will simply do exactly what it pleases, and you have to adapt to it. <strong>Experiencing sharp sunshine, a heavy downpour, impenetrable fog and gusting wind all within a single afternoon is completely standard here<\/strong> and mustn&#8217;t throw you off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So forget your usual weather apps or global forecasts, which often fail in these specific latitudes, and make room on your phone for the Norwegian app yr.no. <strong>This app works very much like the precise models surfers use, and you need to keep a close eye especially on the detailed ninety-minute forecasts for specific locations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Planning several days ahead simply doesn&#8217;t work here; in Lofoten plans have to be made and changed on the fly, by the hour. <strong>When you see on the radar that it&#8217;s going to rain heavily from ten until half past twelve, stay in the rorbu, play board games and cook lunch, so that the moment one o&#8217;clock rolls around and the clouds break, you can head straight out on a trek.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Tip: Even with very accurate data in the apps, never forget the huge year-to-year variability, because the harsh nature above the Arctic Circle always plays by its own rules. <strong>You might get a June where it rains for fourteen days straight, or an August where you&#8217;re sweating on the beach in a t-shirt.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practical_Summary_and_Rough_Prices\"><\/span>Practical Summary and Rough Prices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To help you better picture what each month really has in store and how much the whole thing will cost, I&#8217;ve put together a clear summary of the most important figures. <strong>All the prices given are carefully estimated for the 2026 summer season and represent the usual tourist standard.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>  <strong>Rorbu accommodation price (July):<\/strong> Typically ranges from 2,000 to 3,500 NOK (roughly \u20ac170 to \u20ac300) per night.<\/li>\n<li>  <strong>Rorbu accommodation price (August):<\/strong> About 20 to 30% cheaper, so around a more pleasant 1,500 to 2,500 NOK per night.<\/li>\n<li>  <strong>Small car rental per week (July):<\/strong> Will set you back 7,000 to 11,000 NOK (roughly \u20ac600 to \u20ac950).<\/li>\n<li>  <strong>SUV rental per week (July):<\/strong> Can climb to as much as 17,000 NOK (around \u20ac1,450), so book early.<\/li>\n<li>  <strong>Average summer temperatures:<\/strong> Usually 12 to 15 \u00b0C (with rare temperature peaks reaching up to 25 \u00b0C).<\/li>\n<li>  <strong>Ocean temperature:<\/strong> From an icy 4 to 6 \u00b0C in June to a more bearable 13 \u00b0C at the very end of August.<\/li>\n<li>  <strong>Number of rainy days:<\/strong> June is statistically the driest, while August sees rain on an average of a full 11 days.<\/li>\n<li>  <strong>Food and dining:<\/strong> Norway is extremely expensive overall, so if you cook for yourself using ingredients from the discount supermarket Rema 1000, you&#8217;ll save a serious amount. If you do head out to a restaurant, <strong>you&#8217;ll always easily find excellent vegetarian options, such as hearty vegetable soups, salads with local cheese or a good pizza<\/strong>, which will reliably fill you up after a whole day on your feet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\ud83d\udca1 Accommodation and experiences tip: We like to look for accommodation on <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Booking.com\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/doporucujeme\/booking-com\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Booking.com<\/a>, where the cancellation terms tend to be the best.
