TROMSO
Tromso, the capital of the far north that never sleeps
The cosmopolitan capital of northern Norway, Tromso is a city where Arctic nature and urban life coexist in enticing harmony. Tucked among snowy mountains and bordered by sublime fjords, this is a city brimming with charm whatever the season. Although to experience its magnetic aura at its peak, the best time to visit Tromsø is summer or winter.
In addition to its spectacular nature on the city fringes, Tromso packs a cultural punch that is hard to resist. Its lively entertainment scene (especially along its main street, Storgata), festivals, exhibitions and concerts performed under the midnight sun are a big draw for travellers in search of cultural experiences and festive traditions not found anywhere else. The most famous event is without a doubt the Midnight Sun Marathon, attracting sun-seeking runners from all over every year in June. For foodies, the Nordic city offers a smorgasbord of extraordinary gourmet establishments, where Arctic specialities like reindeer, cod and seafood of unmatched freshness steal the show.
Winter in Tromso is a different but no less magical kettle of fish: the northern lights, whale watching and reindeer- or dog-sledding tours set the pace in the colder months, guaranteeing treasured memories. Even in the polar night, the city is just as warm and inviting thanks to its large student population, buzzing cafés and packed cultural programme. Whether you’re looking for epic nature or epicurean delights, Tromsø has so much to offer beneath the eternal daylight or the glow of the aurealis borealis.
