Murmansk in June 2025 – Is it worth it? Weather and reviews, air temperature, how to dress, duration of the day, prices in hotels and flights, tours and excursions. What to see in Murmansk in early June and closer to July, where to go and go, how to entertain the child – in the review of Eurotraveler.
There is an opinion that it is better not to go to Murmansk during the polar night. And this is quite logical-with a flashlight, or something, walking around the city, looking at it at home and the famous (already) murals? As for species, obviously, most of them will hide from you in the darkness.
This is on the one hand. On the other hand, in winter, a bright northern lights can be seen above the Murmansk region. Which one costs trips to these, and indeed – any – edges.
But in the summer – the opposite is true. Because at the end of May a polar day comes here!
So having gone on a trip to Murmansk in June, you are guaranteed to see more than ever. And, perhaps, you will even experience problems with falling asleep – go sleep when it is light on the street at one in the morning, like during the day!
At this time, you should not count on the polar radiance. But you are fully “hit” by other impressions. You will not only get (tiny truth) a chance to meet whales in the Barents Sea, but you will also see a harsh, only slightly thawed tundra after the winter. And in parallel – amazed at how green and joyful the summer Murmansk can be.
The unofficial “capital of the Russian Arctic” and in the view of a lot of the city eternally immersed in the snow!
Weather in Murmansk in June
It does not differ in stability. And, worse, it varies a lot from year to year.
One day in Murmansk in early June, it can be up to +20 ° C, and in the sun it is completely hot. But in another – not only at the start, but even the middle of the month – the weather will try to correspond to a common stamp about life in the Arctic. That is, the air temperature during the day with difficulty reaches +6-8 ° C, and at night it will almost fall to zero.
At the end of June, the northern summer almost always comes to Murmansk. And even in the coldest year, air temperatures reach the range +12-16 ° C. In good things, they can even jump above +24 ° C, as if about to compete with air temperatures in June in Adler.
And what – after all, in Murmansk there is a sea, well, that is, the Kola Bay. Which, as the geographers say, is even warm by warm golfstim. Badly, of course,-at the start of summer, the water there is warmed well if to +7-10 ° C.
It will wait in Murmansk throughout the first month of summer not particularly moderately-70 mm per month-this is the level of St. Petersburg. But sunny, almost cloudless, days also happen. And who knows, maybe in the dates of your trip, local weather will decide to present such a chic gift?!
The winds are purely theoretically not piercing too much. But if you recall that in fact, the northern Arctic Ocean splashes under the side of Murmansk, then, of course, their capabilities in terms of hypothermia of the body should not be underestimated.
Especially if you decide to shit and go out into the open sea in search of whales. Then another entertainment – to be honest, but fans of epic and maximum laconic natural species should like
The duration of the day in Murmansk is June 22, on the day of the summer solstice, in any other, is 24 hours. And the polar day will last in 2025 until July 23.
How to dress
A very important point! And these are not just words – on the pages of reviews, the June Murmansk can appear green, warm, at times even a hot city. But if you drive away from him, or the weather will suddenly change – and she is a mountain of surprises – how you will immediately begin to freeze in thin jackets and homemade sweaters.
So do not be shy – take warm clothes and even thermal underwear with you. And more – you will not once again wonder if you go on a full trip to the Kola Peninsula or limit yourself to a walk in Murmansk, combined with long stuck in local restaurants.
And I want to go somewhere here constantly-one-day tours to Teriberka are in particular demand. Since the types of tundra and the open barrel of the sea are the main thing, for which people go to the Kola Peninsula.
For it is impossible to find equal to them in Central and Southern Russia. The trip in June to Vladivostok, for example, on Sakhalin or Kamchatka, where rather epic virgin landscapes are much more expensive event.
Prices 2025
In general, they cannot be recognized too high. Yes, venison and sea scallops in the Murmansk restaurants cost a lot, but still no more expensive than in Moscow. And prices in local hotels are not higher than in so many Russian cities that consider themselves tourist centers.
For example, a room for two in Azimut City Hotel (former “Arctic”), the hallmark of the city and the highest building behind the polar circle, in early June will cost 7.5-10 thousand rubles for two. Expensive, but not too much-about the same (if not more) you will be offered to pay for a night in some boarding house near Moscow.
Those, however, who would like to save, will find good options and cheaper. For for 3.5-4 thousand a day you can easily remove in Murmansk not just separate, but also perfectly renovated apartments.
Flights from Moscow and back will cost 18-25 thousand rubles (“economy”) depending on the airline. Well, you can sculculate how much a trip from Moscow to Murmansk is by car, you can read our detailed material on this topic.
In recent years, a very good impetus has received the excursion market of Murmansk and the region. What, on the one hand, provided tourists with a quality product, and on the other, creates competition that does not allow prices to fly to heaven. For example, for a walk that meets the Murmansk murals, you will pay less than 1,000 rubles, and for acquaintance with the city in a mini-group-5 thousand (for all).
In the area of the same 5 thousand, but already for one participant, there is a trip to Teriberka and vice versa. And in principle, this is a reasonable price tag, given the condition of the part of the road leading there.
About twice as much you need to pay someone who wants to not only visit the famous village, but also try good luck, going in search of whales.
What to do
In Murmansk itself, we will advise first of all to visit with a tour of the Lenin nuclear icebreaker – the first in the world. Also in the city there are several exciting feelings of military memorials, an expressive monument “waiting” dedicated to all mothers, wives and daughters of sailors, as well as an ethnographic museum.
On the museum, however, few risks spending their time. And why, when new horizons are opened before my eyes?!
We will advise tourists with children first of all to visit the Sami village near Murmansk. Where a whole system of activity is developed that can captivate both the child and his parents.
You can familiarize yourself with a detailed description by reading this, for example, emotional and bright review – forum.Awd.ru/viewtopic.php?f=616&t=423869.
Well, Teriberka is still the main “delicacy”-to get to which, if you came to see Murmansk in the summer, you can do it yourself. But in winter it is worth going here, only mentally agreeing in advance for several hours of snow captivity. Since the road sometimes notice so that there is simply no question of any movement in any direction.
Organized tours of Khibina are popular among tourists. For a day (minimum), you should go on a trip to the Lovozersky tundra or along the coastal horses of the Kola Peninsula – the benefit in June is the Murmansk tundra, as well as the sea casts in such shades that you are just right to grab the brush.
They drive from the capital’s city and to the White Sea. In Varzuga and Umba on the Terek coast, to Kandalaksha with its mysterious prehistoric maze.
