Why Visit Tromso?
Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis)
Tromsø is one of the best places in the world to witness the Northern Lights. From September to April, the long Arctic nights provide excellent conditions to see this magical natural phenomenon, with many guided tours available to help you find the perfect viewing spots.
Midnight Sun
During the summer months (from May to July), Tromsø experiences the midnight sun, where the sun remains visible for 24 hours a day. This unique natural phenomenon allows for outdoor activities like hiking and boating late into the night, creating an ethereal, otherworldly experience.
Endless Winter Activities
Tromsø is a hub for dog sledding, a traditional form of Arctic transportation that provides a thrilling way to explore snowy landscapes. You can also try snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, or snowshoeing in the winter months, immersing yourself in the Arctic environment.
discover the sami culture and meet the reindeer
The Sami are an indigenous group of people who inhabit Sapmi, some of the northernmost regions in Sweden, Russia, Finland, and Norway. The Sami way of living focuses heavily on their herd of reindeer. Join a tour to visit the local Sami Reindeer Center..A tour bus picks you up from downtown ( the pick up point is close to the Scandic Hotel). Spend a morning or an afternoon meeting the reindeer (which is a lot of fun, by the way) and watch a Sami presentation highlighting their cultural practices and traditions. .
Fjords and sightseeing like no other
Tromsø is surrounded by stunning fjords, offering opportunities for scenic cruises, where you can take in the dramatic landscapes and crystal-clear waters. The Tromsø Fjord and Lyngen Alps are particularly beautiful, making boat trips a fantastic way to see the region.
In addition to the fjords, another highlight of visiting Tromso is by taking the cable car to Fjellheisen to enjoy panoramic views of Tromso and beyond. Fjellheisen is also one of the most perfect locations to see the Northern Lights.
