Located 217 miles above the Arctic circle in northern Norway, Tromsø is a nature lover’s paradise. Not only is it one of Norway’s largest cities, but it’s the third-largest city above the Arctic circle and chock-full of outdoor adventures. I recently had the opportunity to visit this polar paradise, and I’ve got all the best insider scoop regarding things to do in Tromsø.Since Tromsø is located so far above the Arctic circle, what time of year you visit Tromsø can drastically affect your experience. If you’re planning on visiting Tromso in winter, be prepared for the polar night. Polar night in Tromsø occurs from November 27 until January 15, and during that time the sun never rises above the horizon, which means you won’t be seeing much daylight if any at all.
