About Tromsø
Tromsø is the urban heart of Arctic Norway: a lively university city of wooden houses, polar history and world-class aurora viewing, spread across an island 350 km north of the Arctic Circle. Express passenger boats from the central Prostneset quay knit the city to Finnsnes, Kvaløya's villages and the wider Troms coast.
