What to Wear in Bergen, Norway – November & December

Visiting Bergen in late autumn or early winter is magical — the city glows with lights reflecting off the fjords, and the air is crisp and fresh. But the weather can be unpredictable, so packing smart is essential.

November and December in Bergen are cold, wet, and windy, with temperatures usually between 0°C and 7°C (32–45°F). Rain is common, and you might get some snow, so waterproof gear is a must. Start with a warm base layer(wool or thermal), add a fleece or wool sweater, and top it off with a waterproof and windproof jacket.

Waterproof boots with good grip are essential for slippery streets, and don’t forget a hat, gloves, and a scarf — you’ll need them!

Bergen locals dress for practicality and comfort, often layering so they can adapt to changing weather. If you’re planning to explore Mount Fløyen or Bryggen, dress warmly and bring a rain cover for your backpack. With the right clothes, you’ll stay cozy and dry — and ready to enjoy every rainy, beautiful moment of Bergen’s winter charm.
