City info

Tromso is the largest city in northern Norway and the unofficial capital of the Arctic, lying more than 300 kilometres above the Arctic Circle on a small island linked to the mainland by bridge. Its harbour stays ice-free year-round thanks to the Gulf Stream, which historically made it a base for Arctic fishing, trapping and polar expeditions, earning it the nickname 'Gateway to the Arctic' and, for its surprising 19th-century sophistication, the 'Paris of the North'. Today it is a lively university city with a young, international population and an outsized cultural scene for its size. Landmarks include the soaring white Arctic Cathedral, the Polaria aquarium and the Polar Museum, while a cable car climbs Storsteinen for panoramic views. Tromso is one of the world's prime spots to watch the northern lights in winter and to experience the midnight sun in summer, drawing visitors to its dramatic Arctic setting.
