Oslo & Copenhagen Packing Tips?

[Anonymous]

I went in May (1990) and it was still brisk. Pack for the cold!

You can often find YouTube videos of what people are wearing in different cities if you want to see for yourself. I would add that while being stylish is nice, being practical is even better. A real raincoat, comfortable shoes for walking (and that can withstand wet), you will need things for warmth - it can be a damp, wet cold in the Spring. Layers in monochromic colors - so find a lovely merino wool sweater, nice shirts. Both locations are fairly casual - Copenhagen is a little more "fashionable".

No color if you want to blend in. Norwegians wear flare jeans, Uggs/Moon boots and big sweaters.

I was there in September and will be back the same time as you- April 10-20.

Layers, layers, layers. Jeans, waterproof leather boots, wool or cotton sweaters, rain and wind proof outer layer. Wool base layers if you'll be doing anything outside the cities like hikes etc.

PP adding definitely plan to shop there too! Everything is so timeless and well made with natural materials. Also noting that in both cities people definitely dress for the weather so you can absolutely go to a nice dinner with a rain coat, waterproof boots, jeans, and a sweater.

Exactly! I loved the natural colors and fabrics. Everything look effortless, practical and comfortable. Much more practical about what to wear and weather.

We went in July and it was quite cool. I would definitely pack warm, waterproof clothes for this time of year. Have fun!

This blogger has a story saved on her instagram profile from travels to Copenhagen last year https://www.instagram.com/juliaberolzheimer?igsh=MTJod2M1NXhodDYxdQ==

I thought her looks were a bit more posh than CPH is in real life but were definitely practical
