Murmansk in July 2025 – Is it worth going on vacation? Weather and reviews, air temperature, how to dress, are there mosquitoes, prices for flights and hotels, excursions. What to see in Murmansk in July, where to visit the Kola Peninsula, whether it is possible to see whales in the Barents Sea in the summer, says Eurotraveler.
July is a valuable month. All of itself vacation and giving opportunities, which at another time of the year you do not even think about.
Is it too surprised that the vast majority of tourists at the equator of summer go south, to the blue (in fact black) and at least a relatively warm sea?!
In the opposite direction, a minority goes to the north – usually these are people who are attracted by everything unusual. Well, those, of course, who calculated everything well and decided: 3-4 days of vacation here-and the rest are in another place.
It is precisely such travelers, (temporarily?) Passed by beach tan and bathing, that you will see in July in Murmansk and Teriberk. Unless, of course, think in a similar way and try to avoid too much on trips. poppy Popular and therefore immensely crowded directions.
Again, when there is money and time, you can also go to the warm seas outside the high season – they bathe in Adler in October. But visiting the Arctic in mid -autumn is associated with certain difficulties. And even frank inconvenience – at least you will have to drag a huge Baul with warm things with you.
In a word – catch the moment and go to the Kola Peninsula in the summer! And now we will tell you what will happen to you for it)
Weather in Murmansk in July
It can be either warm even by the standards of a resident of the Central Star of Russia, and frankly cold! This should be internally ready.
To rejoice if in early July in Murmansk you will find the air temperature of about +26-28 ° C. But not upset if by the time of your arrival the local climate comes to mind to cool a little. Air temperatures in the area of +12-15 ° C and even lower in the midst of summer on the Kola Peninsula-more tradition than nonsense.
Local such fluctuations are not scared – they are used to it. Consider that “everything goes according to plan,” and you! Just wear a sweater under the windbreaker and go on an excursion to Teriberka.
We guarantee – there, on the coast of the Arctic Ocean, all the fears that the trip did not set, will dissolve like a mirage. Yes, they will do it on the way, while you will admire the car or bus window or bus so unusual for the average Russian landscapes of the tundra. Changing its coloring, depending on the time of day and the position of the Sun, like a chameleon!
In the middle of summer in Murmansk, it usually heats up to +18-22 ° C. But this is done with such a “creak” that it never occurred to anyone to believe that such a weather had come for a long time.
And the end of the month of work to justify your worst forecasts – on the threshold of August, in another year, it is just right to prepare for the speedy arrival of autumn.
Meteorological statistics will not allow to lie – the average temperature of July in Murmansk usually does not exceed +15 degrees Celsius.
All because at night it is often much colder than during the day. It rarely comes to frost (in any case in the city). But the temperatures are about +5-8 ° C during a period that would be called “after sunset” somewhere-practically the norm.
Sun
By the way, it was time to tell about another wonderful feature of summer in Murmansk-from late May to late on the 20th of July, a polar day reigns here!
The sun does not go beyond the horizon at all, and in theory you can walk everywhere around the clock in daylight
The dream of an active tourist – you don’t find? In the reviews about this: surprise and enthusiasm.
Less active citizens, however, can be puzzled – but how to fall asleep in such conditions? And so – tightly lifting the curtains in the hotel room!
What you need to know
July is considered the lowest month of the Murmansk “high season”-the average precipitation does not exceed 50-60 mm. In an ordinary, non-meteorological language, this means approximately 5-7 inconspicuous or alternating and passing days per month.
At the same time, clear days do not follow one after another with a pleasant series. On the contrary, cloudy in the Murmansk region and in the middle of summer – in the majority. Pretty high and humidity – it almost never falls below 75%.
As a result, you should take waterproof things and, possibly, even an umbrella. But rubber boots – if you are not going to wander around the local forest -tundra, collecting mushrooms and berries – you can leave it at home.
By the way, about the crop. The first mushrooms in a noticeable amount can be collected near Murmansk in late July. Approximately then, blueberries and cloudberries begin to ripen, blueberries. But the lingonberry season will come later – in August.
As for mosquitoes, they feel like real owners in the Murmansk region in the summer months. Moreover, sometimes it was as if mocking anti-comaric drugs. You have to fight with the help of either mosquito nets (the most effective way) or minimizing the time spent in nature.
Both the first and the second is feasible only in urban conditions. That is, it will not be suitable for travelers, who are deliberately “eaten” to the maximum impressions.
If the mosquito is a real problem in the tundra, then on the shores of the Barents Sea, in the same Teriberk, in June and July there are few of them. The reason is simple – these insects do not like strong sea winds.
Prices 2025
The flight from Moscow to Murmansk and back at the equator of summer will cost at least 22-25 thousand rubles per one. As for the hotels, you can slyly pay about 8 thousand rubles per day for two and rent a species number on the “ksat” floor of Azimut City Hotel.
Although, of course, the city is full and much more inexpensive options. For 3.5-4 thousand rubles per day, you can easily remove in Murmansk not just separate, but also perfectly renovated apartments. Moreover, in some cases located absolutely wonderful.
As for Teriberka – and we assume that you want to visit there – then everything is more expensive there – and hotels are no exception. But this is fixable, since you can inspect everything you need in the village and nearby in a polar day in 10-12 hours.
What to inspect – you can do and an attempt to see whales in the open sea. If you firmly believe in your star and cherish the hope of seeing these giant mammals not on the TV screen.
Excursions and tours
A trip to Teriberka from Murmansk with an exit to the sea will cost noticeable money in 2025-9-12 thousand rubles per person. True, a sightseeing tour of the village will also be included in this amount.
For a ticket to the National Park near Teriberka (you can walk around the village for free), and there is a battery waterfall and the Dragon Egg beach, you will have to pay more.
In 2025, a tourist with citizenship of the Russian Federation will give 440 rubles for a ticket. And 880 – one who was lucky less …
As a result, a decent amount will run. Most of which you can well save if you go on a trip to Murmansk in your car.
What to do
Is it necessary to talk separately about what to look in the summer Murmansk and stands nearby all the same as at any other time of the year? Here are just the chances that the trip to a particular attraction will take place in the summer, but will not be delayed, for example, due to the snowstorm, maximum!
So in no case do not stay in the very “capital of the Russian Arctic”!
On the contrary, make a viewing promenade around the city, visit the Lenin icebreaker and memorials, get acquainted with the Murmansk murals. Well, then – go to the Kola Peninsula.
If you are traveling with children, do them a favor, visit the Sami village, where in recent years they came up with a whole line of activity, which should appeal to the younger generation. Then you can start getting to know the polar beauties seriously.
To visit the Peninsulas, Rybachy and Middle, you need to pre -arrange permission in the regional Ministry of Natural Resources – it is done simply. But for a trip to Lovozersky tundra or Kandalaksha, only your desire will be required on the Tersky shore. Well, maybe some amount of money, if you are not sure of your ability (you do not have the opportunity) to find the way and get there without problems.
What can be advised to advocate tracking, except how to take a number of mandatory things with you on a trip along the tundra? Unless you are seduced by the visual ease of routes, not to underestimate the perseverance and number of different blood-sucking creatures (Journal.tinkoff.ru/summer-time-travel/) and not take into account the microscopic probability of meeting with the bear.
Should tourists deal with Murmansk “Mushrooms” and collecting berries? Only if they “know places” and have enough time for this. After all, you can get hold of a well -known grocery souvenir of the edge, clogging in the usual market.
