Tromsø’s geographical location makes it one of the best places in the world to see the Northern Lights. And it’s an experience that doesn’t have to cost a thing – just head out to a dark spot away from city lights.

There are also plenty of guided Northern Lights tours for those who prefer extra insight and comfort.

The best chance to see the lights is between September and April.

Experience the “top of Tromsø” and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the city, surrounding mountains, fjords, and islands.

The cable car to Mount Storsteinen takes just a few minutes. If you're up for a challenge, you can also climb the Sherpa steps – 1,200 of them! A visit to the mountaintop restaurant will feel well-earned after the climb. Just check opening hours before you go.

The striking and architecturally spectacular Arctic Cathedral is an absolute must when visiting Tromsø. Inspired by snow and ice, the church’s dramatic design and exterior lighting have made it one of the city’s most beloved landmarks.

If possible, try to attend one of the many concerts held here. If you visit during the Midnight Sun season, take note of how the light creates a magical glow through the stained-glass windows – it's truly stunning.

Located in the heart of Tromsø, just outside the city centre, Polaria is the world’s northernmost aquarium. Here you can explore marine life including fish, seals, shellfish, and sea plants from the waters around Tromsø and Svalbard.

The aquarium also features a panoramic cinema and exhibitions focusing on the environmental changes taking place in the Arctic.

This activity can only be booked during the winter season between November 16th - March 31st.
