Tromso calls to those eager to combine the excitement of city life with the power of nature. Where the midnight sun rises high above the bridge connecting its two islands and the northern lights govern the winter skies, it's not hard to see why so many travel to this diverse cityscape.

A complex history is woven into the fabric of the city, where Arctic hunting traditions and expeditions took place, as well as being home to the Sami people, indigenous to northern Norway. A trip aboard Fjellheisen or climbing the Sherpa staircase allows visitors to absorb Tromso's sprawling beauty, whilst a combination of old and modern architecture makes for an intriguing city walk.

Beyond its cosy harbours and still shorelines, a bounty of adventure awaits. From trips aboard the world's first silent, emissions-free catamaran on journeys to discover humpbacks and orcas in their natural habitat, to dog sledding and reindeer experiences, the city is the ideal base for explorations into the mystical natural world of the far north.
