Northern Lights, reindeers and trolls 

The real charm of Tromsø is best experienced in winter – not just because of the Northern Lights – and you’ll soon forget the cold. The little town is located right by the water and at the foot of an impressive mountain range. The Troll Museum, the  Polaria Experience Centre and the Arctic Cathedral, which also serves as a concert hall, are among its most popular attractions. 

For day trips, the island of Kvaløya with its magnificent fjords is well worth a visit, as is whale-watching from a boat. No less exciting is a visit to a reindeer farm, including a ride on a reindeer sleigh. You should also not miss the chance to learn about the culture of the indigenous people, the Sami.
