Norway in winter is very, very cold. It is always very, very expensive. It is also very, very beautiful.

The warmest you can expect is 5c (41f) and temperatures around -5c (23f) would still be fairly tropical for Oslo in the middle of winter.

Personally I'd leave it until summer.

True about the very expensive and the very beautiful part, as for the cold, it's really not that bad. The past few winters have been pretty warm with the temperature hovering over 0c most of the time (in fact we barely had any snow for extended periods of time the past few winters

).

With that said, you have to keep in mind that days are short and rather dark, so the winter is definitely not the best time for sight seeing in Norway, especially not if you go to the northern part of the country (Oslo is far in the south).

As for which part of Norway is worth visiting, depends on what you're after. There are lots of beautiful places up here [thumbup]
