The most accessible Arctic base

TOS

Tromsø Airport

Serves the city directly, well positioned under the auroral oval.

One of the best bases for aurora hunting

Tromsø is Norway's most accessible Arctic base. Between late September and April, the nights can deliver the northern lights; they depend on solar activity, cloud cover, darkness and patience, never on a commercial guarantee. The Arctic Cathedral, the Fjellheisen cable car and the Polaria centre make a good introduction before heading out on a night excursion.

The polar summer

Summer brings the opposite: the midnight sun, hiking, kayaking and the surrounding fjords — a radically different experience at the very same latitude.

Between Sámi culture and high-mountain scenery

For Sámi experiences, it's best to choose activities run or endorsed by Sámi people themselves, and avoid versions reduced to a simple spectacle. The Lyngen Alps, a few hours' drive away, offer spectacular high-mountain scenery, popular for hiking in summer and ski touring in winter.

A real city, not just an excursion base

Despite its latitude, Tromsø has a dense urban life — restaurants, bars and a lively cultural scene make it worth a stay beyond simply chasing the aurora.
