Top 50 things to do and attractions in Tromso

Beautiful place! If you opt for piblic transport you can direct get down at the nearest bus-stop, Very accessible place. And if you really want to visit by walking, I would suggest, stay there till the sunset, enjoy beautiful colors and head back. Its just 2-2.5 kms from harbor area.

An inspiring piece of Nordic architecture with a relatively easy walk over the road bridge from the main part of Tromsø. The cathedral is slightly expensive for admission, and as we went a bit later in the day to see the stained glass lit up we didn't feel we would have had enough time inside for the cost. Other than that, it's a highly recommended place to visit if you are interested in Scandinavian design.

A modern structure sitting atop a hill, walkable from downtown area of Tromso. It is across the main bridge, about half an hour on foot or, by local bus. Since I'm not familiar with the bus route and I love walking, it suits me fine to cross the bridge. Make sure you walk on the path for pedestrians, not one for bicyclists. The wind is stronger across the bridge so bundle up. The cathedral was closed on the day I was in town, but it's nice to see the outside. A tall, erect structure in a giant triangle. There is not much outside to see, no garden, park or anything interesting so I didn't stay around long. Behind it is the route to the cable cars, interesting to take. $60 usd for the ticket if you like an aerial view of the town. The church itself is worth a walk to but unless it is open, visit nearby attractions such as the cable cars.

I visited the Arctic Cathedral on a sunny day, and it was absolutely beautiful. The architecture is so unique, and the light made it shine even more against the mountains and water. The view from there was stunning, definitely one of my favorite spots in Tromsø.

Beautiful piece of architecture! The lights come on at night and it looks even more spectacular. There is a fee to visit it inside. Side walks can be quite slippery so do have proper walking gear or even shoe spikes.

The Arctic Cathedral in Tromsø is truly beautiful. The unique architecture stands out against the surrounding landscape, and the big glass windows make it feel calm. Even just standing outside and looking at it is worth the visit.

A beautiful church, especially in the night. We twice took advantage of the thirty-minute organ concerts which are included within the 80 kroner entrance fee, one a mixed programme, the other Bach. The music was splendid, and the atmosphere so homely and warm.

Small aquarium but very nice exhibits. Some unique species since it focuses on arctic. It does have areas under construction so it is expanding. It has a very nice seal exhibit with tanks and a walk thru tunnel. 3 seal training sessions as well.

Such a fun place to visit! There are informational videos throughout the day, interactive exhibits and the seal feedings and trainings are open to watch. I would say the entry fee is slightly overpriced, but we still had a wonderful experience.

Little aquarium in Tromso, Norway. Its a fantastic place to bring family and group of friends. A great place to see the seal up close. We where there during winter, and the scenario outside the aquarium was just as great. Theres lots of activities for kids to learn about the oceanic life

Great little place. Watched one of the seal feeding and spent ages watching them swim around. The individual exhibits are really cool too as is the viewing tunnel. Not a big place but we'll worth a visit. Really enjoyed it and they have some very good souvenirs too.

Nice place. Plenty of information accessible, staff is humble and you can shop. Only downside is there internal fixes going on in the building which kid of ruins the vibe and variety of species is limited. If you want to see seals eat, visit at 12:30 pm😄

We absolutely loved our visit to Polaria! It’s such a fascinating and family-friendly place — both educational and fun. The exhibitions, the aquarium, and especially the adorable seals kept us all entertained. Our little boy was so happy that he said, “This feels like heaven!” ❤️ Definitely a must-visit when you’re in Tromsø.

Visiting Polaria was pretty fun. It's a small marine attraction, with some tanks with sealife, and the main attraction being the seal training sessions. Nicely accessible for wheelchairs. Construction work going on at the moment so some dirty and cold areas.

Small place, can be covered within an hour. Bus stop is nearby. Good variety of animals which is good for kids. Overall informative.

A great little museum to learn about all things Artic. We were in Tromso Norway for holiday and we stumbled into this little museum. We were given an English booklet to explain about each room and the history behind. As someone from the tropical its really fascinating to learn about the Artic way of life, the people, the technician, Marine life and much more. A great little museum to check out while in town

What an unforgettable experience when I visited it on 26 March 2025! The Polar Museum in Tromsø absolutely blew me away. It's incredibly well maintained, and every corner is packed with fascinating stories from the Arctic explorers and trappers who braved the extremes. I loved how all the information was available in multiple languages—it made everything so accessible and inclusive. The exhibits are a perfect mix of engaging history, incredible taxidermy, and authentic artifacts that truly transport you back in time. I could almost feel the chill of the polar expeditions just walking through! And speaking of chill—the temperature inside is so well controlled, making the whole visit comfortable, the temperature outside was just -2 degrees. Touching pieces of history and learning about the raw, untamed Arctic life left me deeply moved. A must-visit if you're in Tromsø. You'll leave with a whole new appreciation for the spirit of exploration!

I've learned so much here! At the reception I received an information booklet with lots of engaging and interesting stories, including the North Pole expedition of the Fram ship and the adventures of Nansen. The pieces showed in the museum were a good visual aid for all the amazing stories.

Very informative museum, we learned a lot about the Nordic history and how their life and survival in the past.

Located in the heart of Tromsø, The Polar Museum (Polarmuseet) offers visitors a captivating journey into Norway’s Arctic past. Housed in a charming 19th-century warehouse by the harbor, this museum focuses on the lives of polar explorers, trappers, and whalers who ventured into some of the world’s harshest environments. It's not just a museum—it's a portal into the gritty, courageous world of Arctic survival and discovery. Inside, you’ll find detailed exhibits on legendary Norwegian explorers like Roald Amundsen and Fridtjof Nansen, who played key roles in conquering the North and South Poles. Through authentic artifacts, old photographs, and personal journals, the museum brings to life the extreme challenges these men faced, from bitter cold to months of isolation. There’s also a strong focus on hunting culture, especially the lives of seal hunters and trappers who once spent years living in Arctic wilderness. While this aspect can be controversial, the museum presents it with historical context, allowing visitors to reflect on both the resilience and the impact of human activity in the polar regions. Although it’s not large, The Polar Museum is rich in storytelling and atmosphere. The creaky wooden floors and dim lighting make it feel like stepping into a time capsule.

It’s a very interesting museum. Walking through the rooms filled with different exhibits, I genuinely felt like I was stepping through Tromsø's and Norway’s history, and I learned a lot about Arctic life! The only downside was the paper guides - they were a bit too long to read at times. I understand it might be a budget choice, but audio headsets or more consistent English labels on the exhibits would make the experience even better.

Fast cable car to the top of the mountain! The views on the way up/down are great and at the top are awesome!! Best views are towards Tromso city as you go up/down. You can also go for walks at the top of the mountain and beyond, there are viewpoints giving 360 degree views too. The only negative is the steep ticket price (NOK595 for a return ticket, Oct ‘25) which seems very overpriced. If you are up for it, you can hike one way (either up or down) and buy a one way ticket for NOK 385.

The place is AMAZING!!! There is a nice view of Tromsø and is a must-do in the city!! You can get tickets before at the website and there too!!! Get prepared because up there can be colder than the city! Dress warmly!!

Visited this mountain recently. Great place thought the cable car was a bit expensive for such a small ride. We did the glacier paradise in zermatt recently and that wasn't much more expensive. Cafe nice and warm . Had the soup could have done with a bit more warmer.

The cable car is not available. They're doing repairs or something. So, we climbed a bit by foot, on the trial followed by the sherpa steps. Not all the way to the top, because it is quite difficult... Also, there are too many mosquitos all around, the size of overweight trolls, and they are insatiable. We took some good pictures though...

This is absolutely unacceptable for a tourist attraction. You pay 595 NOK per person (around £45) for a 4-minute cable car to what is literally an active construction site. There are excavators, fencing, mud, and exposed wiring everywhere. Visitors are directed through a plywood “No Entry” corridor with slippery stairs and no proper barriers near icy drops. It’s unsafe and not what’s shown online. Fjellheisen should not be charging full price or even operating in these conditions. Completely misrepresented and dangerous.

This cost of this very short ride is expensive but it's helpful to compare it against the cost of say an aurora chase. We paid almost 1000 NOK for an aurora chase bus tour and didn't see anything because. Even though the weather was bad, the tour wasn't cancelled which was a waste of money. However, when we came up here we were treated to a spectacular display. If you choose a night where you can clearly see the moon or stars you are most likely to see the aurora. Be advised that it can be icy and slippy outside so bring some crampons in your backpack (you can't wear spikes in the cable car) if you're worried. The coffee shop is warm and there are toilets also. There was construction work going on and I wished they'd turned the lights of the site off at night, but it didn't affect the view. There are also spectacular views out over Tromso.

⭐️ 1/5 — Fjellheisen: a pricey panic attack wrapped in mud and ice. None stars wasn’t a choice Let’s not dance around it — this place was a whole disaster from the moment we arrived. Mud everywhere, ice lurking under every step, and not a single safe spot to walk. It felt less like a scenic attraction and more like paying premium rates to stroll through a dangerous construction zone. And the cable car? It didn’t glide us into some cozy mountain haven. It dumped us at the bottom of four full flights of stairs, as if that was totally normal. Imagine navigating that with an 84-year-old mother, clutching her arm while your heart is trying to leap out of your chest. That’s not adventure — that’s stress cardio. Inside wasn’t any better. Water dripping from the ceiling, signs everywhere whispering “Caution: could be icy” like we didn’t already know we were skating on borrowed time. Honestly, the signs should’ve just said, “Abandon hope all ye who enter.” And after all that? You end up in a cafeteria-style setup with coffee so bland it made me miss gas stations. For the price we paid, I expected an experience — not a survival challenge dressed up as a tourist attraction. Save your money, save your sanity, save your ankles. Fjellheisen is a hard no

Norges arktiske universitetsmuseum is honestly one of the must-visit places in Tromsø. I’m not really a “museum person” at all. I actually went in just because the snow was heavy, I needed somewhere warm to sit for a bit, and I wanted to use the toilet. But I ended up spending almost three hours inside! The museum is very informative and laid out in a way that makes it easy to follow, even if you don’t usually enjoy museums. I learned so much about Arctic nature, local history and culture without ever feeling bored. It’s the kind of place where you think you’ll just take a quick look around and suddenly realise a few hours have passed. If you’re in Tromsø, whether you love museums or you’re just escaping the weather like I was, this place is definitely worth a visit.

EXCELLENT permanent installations (the dioramas are especially good). But what I found outstanding is the written text. I often find the wall text too dry and academic (written by and for academics versus the general public). Here, it is written in a very easy to understand manner - and it absolutely stays with you - and they have made sure that the installation works in tandem with the information that is being communicated in the wall text.

Very nice and must visit if you have kids. The short facts and video sessions. It was impressive to learn how old the ice in this part of the world is and the part about the Sami culture was really nice. Be careful about parking. No clear signs and we were find NOK660.

If you are in Tromso, take a few hours and visit. The incredible opportunity to learn about the Sami people is worth your time.

A good museum with a nice exhibit on Sámi culture and the people, as well as exhibits on geology and the northern lights. The latter was somewhat disappointing, with not much to see or do. The museum staff were very friendly, but the cafe and toilets were dated. We also went to the museum's once a month event on a Wednesday evening. It was lovely to be in an empty museum and meet some local people.

It is an excellent museum with several exhibitions. I particularly enjoyed the sapmi culture exhibition. As it featured a wide array of items on display. The downstairs cloakroom is handy, and the staff were lovely and helpful.

A must-go for any visitor of Tromsø! I highly recommend walking to the museum from the city center, along the water (~35 min). The museum explains you everything about the geological history of Tromsø and it's surroundings. Also, there's a very pretty exhibition about northern lights upstairs, alongside an exhibition about the history of the Sami population and culture. All in all, I've enjoyed it a lot and spent the whole afternoon here!

One of the best experiences we’ve had in all our travels around the world! The husky ride in Tromsø was absolutely amazing — fun, thrilling, and definitely worth the money. There were so many friendly huskies to interact with, and the ride itself was exciting from start to finish. An unforgettable adventure that we highly recommend to anyone visiting Tromsø!

As a dog lover it was a very enjoyable experience to have a walk with one of the Alaskan huskies here. Our guide Leonardo did a great job informing us and answering all questions. We also got to enjoy a litter of puppies and cuddles with the other dogs in the kennel, which were amazingly friendly for this type of working dogs. Highly recommended!

On arrival to the huskies, we firstly got to spend time with the puppies before having free time with the older ones. They are well looked after with lots of staff there caring for them. After around half hour with the huskies we went inside to have a drink and some cake around the fire before heading back on the coach. We did book a sledding trip originally but due to the weather it wasn’t possible, so we booked this instead to still be able to meet them.

Lovely experience with the huskies - super friendly and full of cuddles. The staff were welcoming and knowledgeable, and the dogs are clearly so loved. The food and drinks were also amazing. Would definitely recommend! 🐾🐶

We had an amazing time on our husky adventure in Tromsø. Everything was extremely well organized from start to finish, and the entire team made the experience special. We were especially lucky to ride with Chris, who was a fantastic guide. He shared so many interesting facts about the dogs — how they’re bred, trained, fed, and how they run. His passion for the huskies really came through, and riding with him in the front made the experience even more memorable. Nadia was also incredibly warm and hospitable. She showed us around the area, introduced us to the adorable puppies, and made us feel very welcome throughout the visit. The whole staff was genuinely friendly, caring, and excited to share their world with visitors. We also enjoyed a delicious meal, including traditional Bidos soup, homemade cake, and plenty of hot drinks — it felt cozy and comforting after the ride. Overall, this was a fantastic experience and one of the highlights of our time in Tromsø. Beautiful scenery, amazing dogs, great people — highly recommended!

I had a fabulous time hiking with a dog, playing with all the dogs and puppies. The lunch was very very good. This experience really exceeded my expectations.

Not far from Tromsø still great views and nice staff. Good food and nice place to get to know the friendly huskies. Nice place to spot norther lights also. Perhaps as a suggestion, I would recommend to dim the lights so reduce light pollution.

We enjoyed our tour with Trine. She did an outstanding job of keeping g us informed and taking care of us. Nature did not completely cooperate on our night, but Trine did take some good photos and we enjoyed our excursion.

A must do in the city. The guide was very friendly and gave a lot of information on tromso and the northern lights

It was a bus tour with guide. The weather was to cloudy and snowy. Bad luck! We must go 2 an half our to chasing norther light to Finnish territory. It was but not at all a quality thhat we expected. You have to know it is practically impossible to take pictures with android mobile phone. Guide explained on the bus how prepare the camera for the best photos, but not was helping in the field, thats why 2 stars. After a quite expensive tour you have a possibility to shop pictures online for 29€/pieces. I think Company should have offer some pictures for free for the clients. You can see here the picture of 29€ which is not at all a NatGeo quality.

What an amazing sight to view

It is an amazing experience.

Best place of the world

(Translated by Google) A place I came to see the Aurora without thinking and bought a plane ticket~_~ Since the weather is really important, I didn't book a tour in advance, so the first place I visited upon arriving in Tromsø was the place I was guided to at the visitor center! (Visited in February 2024) I was lucky and didn't have to go all the way to the Finnish border, and when I arrived at the hunting point, the guide kindly taught me how to take pictures! Set your iPhone to night mode for 10 seconds, take a picture, and during those 10 seconds of taking a picture, the wavelengths move actively and you can observe them changing frequently. (Original) 오로라가 보고 싶어서 무작정 비행기 표 끊고 찾아온 곳~_~ 날씨가 정말 중요해서 미리 투어를 예약하지 않은 탓에 트롬쇠에 도착하자 마자 방문한 곳은 방문자센터에 가서 안내받은 곳! (24년 2월에 방문함) 운이 좋아서인지 핀란드 국경까지 이동하지 않아도 됐었고 헌팅포인트에 도착하면 가이드님께서 사진 찍는 법을 친절히 알려주신다! 아이폰은 야간모드 10초로 맞춘 뒤, 촬영하면 되고 사진 찍는 그 10초 동안에도 파장이 활발하게 움직여서 수시로 변하는 걸 관측할 수 있다 ㅎ.ㅎ

What a wonderful moment to visit this century wood church in Tromso. I went on Monday but it was closed. But I got to see its night view. Luckily I stayed nearby in town. So I went again on Tuesday. When stepped in to the church, I felt amazed of the building and atmosphere. Peaceful and calm. There was a lady playing old piano. Such beautiful piece and real experience. Thanks for keeping such priceless church.

A sacred symbol of the Arctic, this cathedral is Norway's largest wooden church in the world. Built in 1861 by architect Christian Heinrich Grosch, it stands out for its Gothic Revival wooden architecture. It is located in the heart of the city, close to the main street, Storgata. I stayed here for three nights, passing almost every time because of its central location. It is beautiful both day and night, and is peaceful, alive, and calming in itself.

Lovely Cathedral in Tromso city central Norway. This Cathedral is among one of the oldest and most iconic in Tromso, Norway. We visited Tromso during the winter, so we were able to observe this Cathedral both during the day and at night. The color and feel to the Cathedral changes as the sun gone down, yet all we're very beautiful. Theres a few walking tour that can book for the local guide, its highly recommended

Great plaza right in front of the church in the heart of Tromso city. Nice park where you can sit down and relaxe enjoy your books or packed lunch.

A beautiful and atmospheric cathedral right in the heart of Tromsø. The unique wooden architecture and the tall spire make it stand out immediately. Inside it’s calm, bright, and very cozy — a great place to take a short break and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. I really liked the design, the acoustics, and the overall vibe of the place. If you’re nearby, definitely step inside — even a few minutes here leave a really pleasant impression.

nice square in the summer months (i guess also in Winter). there is a good restaurant nearby and some options to have a drink. peaceful place

We attended a midnight concert performance at this site that was enchanting.

Quick: - friendly - leave later, get back quicker, same whale viewing time - new boats - we saw sperm whales and lots of orcas. I booked this whale watching tour as the people selling it were friendly and not "pushy" This tour also leaves at 9am and comes back at 3pm. Most tours leave earlier and come back later. You might think the other tours will give you more time to see whales but on the contrary this tour gave us about 30 min more viewing time as other boats we saw leaving from tromso. This is due their cruising speed. They go faster so it takes less time to arrive. Same for the way back. We passed boats that had left earlier on the way to the whales. So we arrived earlier. And those other boats left earlier but we passed them on The way back. So we got to sleep longer and were back quicker to have a coffee in tromso. The boat itself is quite new and comfy. You get free coffee and tea, other snacks/drinks can be bought. They give explanations during the viewing and also offer to take pictures of you and the whales/background In overall, it's a good company to go and see whales. It's just not as "known" yet and has a lot less reviews as it's the new player on the market. But this had the added advantage to us that we were about 20-30 people on the (big) boat, so it was the more quiet and comfy.

The best whale watching trip around! Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared interesting facts about the orkas and whales during our cruise. The boat is comfortable and fast and the crew is really friendly. We saw multiple orcas, birds and whales. As a bonus the views are just breathtaking! Thank you so much for such an amazing experience!

Spotted orcas, humpback whales and a rare sperm whale sighting. We picked this tour because it set off later than others, but the speediness of the boat meant there was still plenty of time to see whales. The crew were very attentive, providing blankets and thermal outfits to stave off the attic chill. Very much recommended.

The check in operation was more than terrible. They made us come one hour prior to the departure but at that time no guide was there so 300+ visitors had to wait outside without any direction. They also check the visitors name manually on the printed lists so it made a chaos in front of the receptionist. The whale watching and their guide during the tour were good but operation was just a nightmare and as if it would have been their first time of the operation. I world definitely choose other operators next time. The whales were innocent.

By far the best whale watching trip in Tromso. Thank you 😊

We visited the garden a couple weeks ago (mid-September) and absolutely loved it! It was a great place to walk around and see so many different plants. The use of rocks for the paths and display was also very creative. This is a great place to visit when it’s not covered in snow!

Stunning views, very walkable hillslopes even for partly disabled, amazing huge international plant collection, and the best landscape architecture outside of Japan! Why? Painstaking selection & placement of every single stone, post, piece of gravel, plant, water features -- far beyond most of the planet's public gardens. No admission fee, no gates, no wait. Just amazing beauty.

Beautiful and free, what more can you want out of a Norwegian attraction. Bonus: beautiful views on the sea and mountains, and a few geocaches for those who are into it. Also a great photo opportunity in a reflective ball. Join another 1000 people who have done the same.

A beautiful botanic garden, with many different plants and flowers. Very colourful, beautifully designed and maintained. Free entrance to the gardens. We loved visiting the gardens and enjoyed our time there.

A great little garden in Tromso! We visited in summer when the flowers were blooming. Best thing is, it was free to enter! It is well maintained and easy to get to, with plenty of parking spots to offer and a nice trail if you are walking or riding your bike. Plenty of flora to see with nice little signs and information. Great little cafe on site, with a self served option. We got the waffles and surprisingly it was really nice! We were lucky to get a fresh batch and we got to top it ourselves. The garden also offers a path to walk to the university and the science centre just next/behind the garden if you wanted to explore more, but it's a great spot to visit if you're looking for a free activity in Tromso.

Great garden spent about 2 hrs here in the autumn and very beautiful scenery here It's about a 40min walk from city centre Free attraction if you have nothing else to do

Really worth visiting. Beautifully maintained garden with lots of plants from different sides of the world with prevailence of Arctic plants. You can rest here surrounded by wonderful plants and air of nice smells. Strongly reccommend.

We went there several time, during the day but also during the night. Such a beautiful place, with plenty options to have a picnic and breath pure air from the ocean. We had the chance to observe amazing northern light at night directly from this place around 21h the Wednesday 1st of October. With the reflection on the water as you can see in the photos I shared. I also recorded some handpan videos there, I highly recommend to visit it if you have the time.

You don’t need to join an expensive tour — you can see amazing northern lights right here! I’m a budget backpacker traveling around the world, and I researched several aurora spots in Tromsø to find places I could reach on my own. Among all the spots I visited, this was the easiest to access, had the least light pollution, and offered the clearest view. From around 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM, the aurora danced across the night sky — unbelievably large, bright, and beautiful. You can even see green, white, and pink colors with the naked eye. There are metal barrels placed here and there where you can make a bonfire. It gets really cold at night, so bringing a lighter might be helpful. One night I went when it was very windy by the seaside — sand blew into my eyes and it hurt, so be careful on windy days! I’m sure aurora tours are amazing too, but if the sky is clear, you can have an incredible experience right here for free. I’ll be sharing the experience on YouTube and social media, so feel free to check it out if you’re curious! 🌌 @asumikumano

A beautiful location particularly with snow around. Lovely and quiet with free parking! You can take a walk along the shoreline.

Simply stunning views and colder than cold! Wrap up warm as the wind is stronger here than in town. The views are stunning! Lots of seating, so I bet it's amazing in summer to sit here. It was extremely slippy underfoot in January, so make sure you wear grips. There are public toilets that are free and extremely clean. Best outdoor public toilet I've ever used!! There is a bus stop back to town very close by. Would love to come here to view the northern lights. Next time, maybe 😁

Beautiful park and beach very clean has restrooms in many benches

Thủ đô của cực quang ---------------------------------------- Located at 69° North in the heart of Arctic Norway, Tromsø is often called the “Capital of the Northern Lights” – and for good reason. Thanks to its prime position directly beneath the auroral oval, Tromsø offers some of the highest chances in the world to witness the aurora borealis, especially during the winter months from September to March. But Tromsø is more than just a destination for aurora hunting. This charming Arctic town is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, deep fjords, and cozy wooden houses, creating a fairytale-like landscape that’s both peaceful and awe-inspiring. During polar nights in winter, when the sun doesn’t rise for weeks, the sky comes alive with vibrant ribbons of green, violet, and red lights dancing above. Visitors can enjoy a range of unforgettable experiences, from guided aurora chases and husky sledding, to ice fishing and learning about the indigenous Sámi culture. What makes Tromsø truly special is that it combines raw Arctic beauty with modern comfort—offering good infrastructure, warm accommodations, and reliable tours, making it ideal even for first-time winter travelers. Whether you're a photographer, adventurer, or simply a dreamer chasing magic in the sky, Tromsø is one of the most reliable and enchanting places in the world to see the northern lights.

Amazing even during the summer time. I've tried to go in the water but I'm not brave enough to swim.. it's cold but really clear and amazing

Nice ferry tour. The guides, Daniel and Stan, were very kind and helpful. The views were amazing. Very cold, however, but it is what you expect here around these days (March)!

Can you really see whales on a "safari" from Tromsø in October? I was skeptical, but the answer is YES! We cruised aboard the comfortable ship M/S Rygerdronningen today, and were delighted to see 2 pods of Orca feeding on the herring. Our captain & crew were obviously skilled, and the guides were friendly & knowledgeable (Stan, Daniel, Anna, Maja). The views are spectacular. We highly recommend this excursion with Rodne Fjord Cruise

We had a fantastic day - comfortable boat and a great crew. Stan and Daniel in particular were very friendly and informative. We were lucky enough to see fin whales and humpbacks - a very successful whale watch! The surrounding scenery is beautiful and rugged and this a tour well worth doing when in Tromso - would highly recommend!!

Generic, Impersonal and not suitable for those looking for authentic experience. Do You get the whales - yes, I think like everyone else. Do you get anything else special - no. But when we booked this tour, we knew it would be a large generic , non cozy group so it met our expectations, I do highly recommend everyone to book any fjord and whale watching cruise in Tromso because this place and the sights are just beautiful. If you manage to find a more cozy, smaller setting go for it, we were just too lazy to search for more so we booked the first thing that fell on our lap. This is a highly commercial one but nature is for everyone so we enjoyed tromso and the fjords and the whales !!!

In general super nice crew and very motivated and endeavoured, also with free coffee and tea! first half of the boat also cozy with real seats and desks. However, we were completely overbooked so too many people needed to go in the back sitting on long banks - ok if you got a bank with a backrest, but super exhausting if you had a bank without one, sitting there for ~3h until reaching the whale watching spot and afterwards the same duration back. What annoyed me most was that I payed the exact same price than all the other people sitting in the nice lodging area with real seats and desks. Would prefer if you could select beforehand and pay eg half the price for seats without backrests which would make it more fair. or just let so many people book for one cruise that everyone has a real seat with a backrest and that it doesn’t feel so crowed!

We did the Fjord cruise with this company and loved it! We had a lot of fun during this trip. The scenery was breathtaking, the guides very kind (Daniel and Matthew), the ship very nice and smooth. We saw seals, eagles and cool looking birds. I really enjoyed the route they took. But please wear a lot of layers and warm clothes!! While relatively warm in Tromso, freezing on the outder deck during the trip. Inside it was very warm and cozy. Thank you for this lovely trip

My experience with Rødne Fjord Cruise in Tromso was incredible. During the full day cruise we were able to spot several whales. The customer service and expertise demonstrated by the guides further enhanced the trip, as they shared valuable insights about the marine life we encountered. I highly recommend bringing warm clothes and gloves as you'll spend around 20-30 minutes outside once you reach the whale sighting location. While the journey to and from the destination was lengthy, and the actual whale watching time was relatively brief, but the stunning views of the fjords and landscapes along the way more than made up for it. Great way to spend a day in Tromsø.

Impressive bridge whether you go under it by ship, view it from the city or walk over it. It is a good walk over it to the Arctic Cathedral. The length and steepness should not be underestimated, especially in winter.

A great way to see Tromso from the sea and a decent walk. Beware that one side is for cycles,the other for walkers. It isn't well marked. It wasn't particularly windy when we went over, but it can get very windy.

A great experience by walking across the bridge , it took about 15 min to complete. quite challenging when it is strong wind. Nice scenery along the river.

Cultural Significance: Tromsø Bridge is not just a transportation link; it has become a symbol of Tromsø itself, representing the city’s development and connection to the mainland. The bridge is often featured in local art and photography. Tromsø Bridge is more than just a crossing point; it’s an experience. Whether you’re traveling by car or taking a scenic walk, crossing this bridge provides a unique perspective on the beauty of Tromsø and the natural landscapes that surround it.

Walked across this bridge to Mt Fjellheisen in March 2025. Cold weather and windy. After dinner, we walked more than 45mins to Fjellheisen. Such a great experience. Can see the view of the two sides of the bridge. Although it was a tired journey.

Nice walk with spectacular views. Be aware that when crossing the bridge towards the church, the right side is for pedestrians only and you should walk on that same side when returning. It's not clearly marked but the left side (when walking in the direction of the church) is for bicycles coming and going.

Great views from the bridge, can get very windy as walking across as it is exposed to the elements. One side of the bridge is for walking , the other side is for cycles / scooters etc

This is seemingly the hot spot in town for families on weekends. The place was packed on Saturday - primarily with young families who were doing all kinds of kid activities in the downstairs area of the library. The first and second floors had lots of young people on their computers and the 3rd floor which is a "quiet zone" is worth visiting for the views of the town. I wouldn't say this is a must-visit but if you have time, it is worthwhile - and a good place to rest and get out of the weather if it is inclement.

Impressive architecture for a public library. It is open long hours and provides a nice place to sit and read. There are impressive views of the harbor and sea from the top floor. It is just worth it to go inside for the views. There is a toilet available too.

A very nice library for both kids and adults. It is a 5 storey building with a lot of books and spaces were you can hangout whether to read a book, do some work or even just have conversations. Theres a lot of books to choose from and the glass walls make the place welcoming with a lot of natural light.

The library is built on 5 floors. Lots of books in different languages and a absolutely lovely place to study and rest. Kind staff are always helpful. The public hours are limited but if registered and filled out the form, from 07:00 to 22:00 is accessible. Free wifi is also available. The group floor is dedicated to children with books and computer games.

It is a wonderful library, perhaps with the best view in the world. There is a cafe and a movie theater. You can also rent sports and hiking equipment for free.

Its in the heart of city. Many Local buss stops are located in surrounding. 7 to 22 timing is impressive. Many sections For children whole underground floor is available. Internet with high speed. Its beautiful attraction in the city.

Nice and cozy library with free wifi and plenty of seats to sit and work

Summary: This is a nice mountain and it's a great spot for a nice local hike, picnic, or to escape the city. Make sure to take anything you need - proper shoes, snacks, water, a small first aid kit, warm attire, etc. Beautiful mountain with great views of both nature and the city. The trail markers can be somewhat hidden so just pay attention to where you are going. It is easy to get off of a trail, so make sure to remember your way back to the trail in the event you decide to go off the trail. Overall, this is a safe mountain with awesome views. Just like any hike, go prepared, with proper shoes, a snack, water, etc.

Tromsø forever, northern lights forever!

Incredible views, a must visit (hike or cable car) if you go to Tromsø!

Easy to medium difficulty hike up. Good view of Tromsø from the top. You can also choose to take the cable car to go both up and down; but quite pricey for the short rides.

One of the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen. When you visit there on foot, make sure that you are fit💪

Beautiful mountain view overseeing Tromso city. A return adult ticket on the Fjellheisen costs 345NOK (apprx 33USD) for a 4mins ride - which I find a little pricey, but you wouldn’t want to trek up in the snow.

Just beautiful...xpp

The bar is well located and is very charming! It does not feel like a local spot but rather a tourist trap … They have an amazing selection of local beers. Keep in mind that the beers are pretty pricey (1 small glass of beer is about 12$CAD)

Great selection of local and international beers! The staff are friendly and knowledgable about their selection of beers. Super cool atmosphere and a great place to kick back and grab a drink.

The beer selection here is great. Tried a flight of a selection of Mack and they were all great. The bar lady selected them and was spot on. No food options except for chips, peanuts and hot dogs. Alcohol is super expensive in Norway.

Really great beer hall. The selection is fantastic, and it's all kept well. The interior has a cool brick design and is very comfortable. The taster boards are a really good way to try many recommended beers. The staff are pretty knowledgable about the beer as well.

Large selection of beers and plenty to choose from the on site brewery. Expect to pay over £10 a pint (glasses/small/20cl, in the photo were £5 each).

What a cool place! Oldest pub in Tromsø and proper pub feeling. Maybe just missing a couple of TVs to show football! Loads of different beers and friendly staff. Place was clean and well maintained. Highly recommend!

Great place, great atmosphere, relaxing time with couple of beer with colleagues. Love it

LOVED this museum and especially the just opened Kvaani Biennaali that just opened (it will be until sept 30, 2026). Beautiful museum, lovely staff and gorgeous installation of art.

I came to see art, I left with my own. The exhibits were captivating—especially the photography one Layers of time, Everyday life in Svalbard, touched me—but my favourite part was the craft/workshop section where I spent 1.5 hours making collages, earrings, and embroidery to the sounds of soft jazz (in case you wondered, I'm over 12 years old). That alone would have made the price worth it.

We visited the museum twice. On Friday we did the guided tour related to the Sami-week. A Sami artist exhibition was on the 3rd floor. On Saturday we went back because there would be a Sami singer. Unfortunately that tour was in Norwegian, the signing was nice but most of the people in the group were no Norwegian speaking so couldnt understand the guided part of the tour.

A wonderful art museum focused on northern Norwegian and Scandinavian artists. It’s a relatively small museum (there were three exhibits on our visit), which makes it very manageable as part of a day in Tromsø. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the exhibits, particularly the photography and music exhibit on Svalbard. We were lucky to arrive around the time of a guided tour, which I highly recommend. The tour guide was very sweet and added a lot of historical and local context that made the exhibits more meaningful. The rest of the staff was so lovely as well.

This place is nothing short of being spectacular. We were expecting a “regular” arts museum but boy were we wrong. The highlight has to be the artist’s workshop. It was fully equipped with everything that a true artist could wish for. The kids spend nearly 1.5 hrs in there while us parents could enjoy a cup of coffee free of charge. Last but not least the staff was very helpful & kind. Thank you for an amazing experience.

Especially the top floor is filled with beautiful paintings of arctic nature. My favourite painting is in the attached images.

Starting off with general aspects about the museum itself: it has three floors with multiple rooms for different artworks and a nice little shop on the ground floor. From what I understood, there is also a corner to sit, drink coffee and talk with fellow visitors. About the current exhibition: some of the people here talk a lot about how they didn't like "Gába – female resilience" because it was too short or too simple. I would say that these people did not understand what this exhibition is about. Only 28% of the museum walls are covered, showing the limited representation of female painters. It is a message to the public. That's why it's short. Personally, I really enjoyed the paintings and cultural features that had stories to tell about womanhood in different countries. Additionally, the museum has multiple sitting opportunities and very clean toilettes. What was missing for me though was more in depth stories regarding each painting or artist. Perhaps, some additions to go more into the "resilience" part would also be preferable. Other than that, it was very thought-provoking and interesting to see art present in such a way. If anyone wants to immerse themselves for a short 30–35-minute period of time into educative, cultural art, this is the place.

I have learnt so much! It's a pretty small museum but I love how they have made it interactive with AR so it is more engaging. Also there are built in 3f photo walls in between exhibits. Ive truly enjoyed myself while learning. This museum has surpassed my expectations.

The Troll Museum is the first and only museum in Norway dedicated entirely to trolls, and it’s brought to life with modern Augmented Reality (AR) technology. You get to explore Norwegian fairy tales and legends in a really interactive way - perfect for both kids and adults. Whether you're a tourist or a local, there's something here for everyone. The AR features make the experience extra engaging, and it’s a great way to dive into Norse folklore. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Tromsø!

Fun museum where you can learn about Scandinavian mythology, play board games, have some tea and coffee and chat with a friendly receptionist. Kids friendly - the separate play room for kids is available and fun interactive tablets around exposition

Absolutely fell in love with this little place. Had been looking forward to it anyway but it exceeded expectations. Had a big daft grin all the way round. Love it!!!!

Fun exhibits with computerized interactions and 3d imaging. Fun place for kids. Very nice art room with stamps and stencils. Nice statues and artwork.

What a nice and cozy museum with coffee and lounge. Great for kids and adults alike! So many interesting tales and folklore. Plus a lot of cool cultural facts about Norway. The staff were super welcoming and friendly. Shoutouts to Daniel, Anna, and Rachel for the amazing job.

Small but interesting. Some very attractive interactive presentation. Get Chinese translation also and you'll have a good flow of new visitors!

Discovered it whilst on the botanical gardens walk, hadn't intended to come, but glad we did. We enjoyed ourselves browsing snd having ago at the activities. Eventually did tge northern lights show, which was well worth it.

I loved it so much! It was a big playing ground of very basic technology and modern subjects. The part about the aurora, including the movie, wasn't a very lot, but awesome as well.

Very interesting science museum. A lot of hands-on activities for kids and grown-ups. Very nice the northern lights experience in the planetarium. Family entrance around 30€ that's very convenient considering the high Norwegian prices.

One of the best science museums for children I have experienced so far. Very interactive, catering to different age groups as well as adults and including local elements (e.g. snow flake formation, melting of sea ice, etc.)

This place was a lot of fun, and we are two adults in our 30s! There is a lot of information with signage in English, and a lot of interactive exhibits. My husband and I had fun with a whole floor of interactive science games. There was also a show about the Northern lights which we enjoyed.

Great for children. Then can spend several hours there. A must do in Tromsø.

The best attraction in Tromsø. The best interactive museum i've ever been. Perfect for children of all ages (2 to 92).

Small and cosy airport. There are delays in drop on & drop off. We didn't face any problems though. Stunning location & snowy!! It is an experience on the way that the airplane is handled before it takes off due to the very low temperature outside.

Small airport, quick through security and a good number of food shops and coffee. Not too busy and works well for this region.

Airport of Tromso, Norway. Its an international airport, so theres many flights fly both in and out internationally. Its a very small airport and theres a lot of self serving automation such as self check in, baggage drop and so on. Theres not a lot of Cafe and restaurants before departure. The drive way into the airport is a bit confusing

Very good, clean, easy parking & beautiful airport. **Warning** But must be very very careful with most of the car rentals in this airport. Most of them are trying their very best to scam or taking an advantage on you especially when they see you in a bit of difficulties or desperate to rent a car. They kinda work as a team eventhough from different companies. (all their counter just next to each others)

Lovely airport. Bike arrived safely and was able to build at the collection point. Nice cycle into town from airport. What a welcome... Stunning vistas as you decend. Snow capped mountains in 24hr summer. Stunning.

Stunningly beautiful. Peaceful, white and quiet. Mesmerising

Tromsø Airport is a small but efficient (when it works) facility with straightforward access to the city center. While Uber availability can be challenging, local taxis or the city express bus (around 125 NOK per person) are reliable alternatives. The airport features automated check-in kiosks, though the security process can be slow due to the need to remove all electronics. Overall, it’s functional and convenient for its size, but plan for extra time at security. One of the biggest problems with the airport is the lack of any airline staff. We had a tough issue of the airline (Transavia) not recognizing the valid ticket issued by Delta .. despite going over all the details and working with the Delta agent on the phone for nearly 1 hour, they wouldn’t honor (Delta reissued the ticket with the new numbers). The airport staff just raised their hands saying we can’t talk to Transavia. Very stressful situation. Automated kiosks for the luggage would not accept the luggage over 20kg forcing us back to the line almost making us miss our flight.

It cost me around 50 NOK to enter and took almost less than an hour for the trip. It was a small museum and a ship to explore which was used for exploration of North people. Had a nice experience. Would recommend to visit there.

Amazing! Great idea and boat itself. Also the girl who work here very pleasant and communicable. Thanks! Cost 50 kr. Possible to pay by card.

Great ship museum about polar exploration. I loved the exhibit about how Europeans learned to survive from native peoples.

Loved the design. You could choose from indoor visiting or outdoor as the ship is glass wall. They have outside seating if you like to take a break or snack with the view

An amazing immersive experience to able to board the ship and explore various areas of it.

A nice museum. Very interesting ship. You’ll get a discount if you have a ticket to the polar museum.

A superbly reconstructed ship. It is a great experience to be able to go inside the ship!

Despite running a personal best I was a bit disappointed by the route and value for money.

Had the reindeer stew and fish soup. While the food is good, €65 for a bowl of soup and stew is quite pricy even for local standards. It’s a nice place to sit at though. The interior is very cozy and if the weather is good, can always sit out at the pier and the view is really nice. Check out the menu first before deciding if you want to dine here.

Had lunch here with my daughter on my trip to Tromsø. We both ordered reindeer burgers, and Mack beer, of course. Incredibly beautiful premises, and very good food. Good service and friendly staff. Will be back here, that's for sure.

Beautiful restaurant right by scenic. The restaurant offers a chance to try whale and Reindeer meat. The food were all really delicious. Beautiful decorated dishes. Lovely service

Loved it ! Came here after flying in from Frankfurt and had a lovely late lunch with fresh salmon, cod and salad. Free tap water. Prices are high as everywhere here around the harbour. Sun stays long here in the afternoon...

One rushed waiter, small portions, high prices, whale steak was luke warm (almost cold) and a bit hard to cut with ordinary knife. Apple cake was nice though! Flat tonic served with arctic gin - not good. Probably catering for tourists, and one-time clients - can't imagine anyone wanting to return in a hurry. Whilst waiter spent a lot of time on mobile phone, kitchen staff had to bring out dishes to waiting customers - seemed unprofessional.

A decent "pub" like place to eat and/or drink in Tromso. We decided to give this place a go since it offered up some interesting dishes! Overall it was an "okay" experience, with the service and atmosphere rating slightly above the quality of the food. We started with the platter that offered up a variety of their starters, including whale jerky, cos tongue, caviar and garlic shrimp. Probably the favourite out of the selection was the cod tongue, since it was dried and breaded, so it tasted like any good fried and breaded things. The whale jerky was what got us interested, and, personally... I think whale is an acquired taste? Hard to describe, but my experience with it is that, it had an unexpected taste? It was overly fishy, but also wasn't fishy? I know that might not have made sense, but see for yourself if you're keen! For the mains, we all tried different mains and shared it. We got: the clams/mussels; reindeer burger; whale steak and the cod. Again, the whale steak was very different to what I was expecting, it was much "meatier" than expected, tastes more gamey/meaty than "fishy" the mussels were ok... Nothing too special and the cod was a bit dry. The reindeer burger was surprisingly good and, personally, was my favourite. Overall, the food was ok - a good experience to try these local delicacies whilst in Tromso/Norway. The price was maybe on the higher side? For context, we had a very nice lunch in Mathallen, ordered 5 mains with a bottle of bubbles to share and it was roughly the same price.. whereas we ordered 4 mains, a started and 1 glass of wine and a beer (same amount of people) at this place... Overall, I think it's worth a visit if you're curious to try some local delicacies! You'll still come out of it full and feeling okay!

First of all a big THANK YOU 🙏🏼 to Emma for the most amazing, kind and helpful customer service “she should be the manager!” This is definitely 💯 going to be my favorite restaurant to visit every time I visit Tromsø. I really recommend you try the Whale steak and the Rain Deer hamburger. Last but not least please take the time to check out every part of the restaurant on every floor because it’s absolutely amazingly beautiful historically as well as educational.

A review on google said that it's free and it's actually KR80. As a non artistic person I found it a good spot to spend 20mins in an building. Plus it's perfect to enjoy the coffee just around the corner after visiting the museum.

I mean, can you really fault a free museum??? When I visited they had an exhibit about religion which is not really my thing (like, at all) but I enjoyed looking at the pictures- such awesome quality! Then upstairs they had a lot of shots from Tromso 50-60 years ago which was really cool to see.

Really enjoyed the photography by Inuuteq and all the story telling! I'd recommend this museum in Trømso.

An enjoyable tour of this museum which has frequently changing exhibits. For my visit was of Cora Sandal's work (artist and author) from Tromsø. It was a thought provoking exhibition with lots of intriguing artworks. A particular highlight for me was the listening room where we could hear extracts of the written works. This is no longer free entry, unless a student. I am pleased my student card meant this did not cost us lots, as we are not knowledge about this artist and author beforehand so arrived out of curiosity instead of love. The museum is over 3 floors so if stairs are impossible then maybe ask if they have a solution before paying. They have toilets (free) and coat lockers with keys outside in the lobby and by the toilets inside. Enjoyed it. We are unlikely to need to visit this exhibit twice but would return to see a different experience next trip.

This is a photography museum. The exhibitions on display when I visited were Red Utopia, which was about the presence of communism in countries around the world even today. The photographer does a very good job of showing their stories. Homo Religiosus was another one which, as the name suggests, was about various religions, their evolution and it's importance in people's lives. Overall, I liked the presentations; and since the entry to this museum is free, there is no harm in visiting it.

Wonderful curator work blending photography projects ‘Red Utopia’, an exhibition of Jan Banning (Dutch) capturing supporters of Communism at various locations around the globe with local Tromsø historical photography by world renown, home-grown Tromsø artist, Knut Stokmo. An additional social enhancement weaved in called ´Homo Religiosus ‘ highlighting all the religions active locally in Tromsø Norway. Exhibitions which triggers the deep thought of the individual visitor!

An interesting but small museum. On the first floor there was a very pretty and interesting photography exhibition from the arctic. On the second and third floor there was an exhibition of a famous Norwegian author.

I like the place really to walk and relax! We was there many day to catch the aurora butwe found nothing 😅 It’s just nice place to watch the stars ⭐️✨

Really great spot to try to see the northern lights (or even shooting stars). I was there just yesterday and the night before (from around 9 p.m. till midnight) and saw them both times (thanks to the great weather conditions). Perfect option for people without a car, since one can easily reach the lake with the bus and also not a long drive from the city, but far enough that the sky is actually dark enough to see the aurora. Side note: In winter you very likely see the lake at all, because it usually freezes over and will be covered in snow. You can sit on the railing of the rack, makes for a nice spot to enjoy the show! Side note for solo travellers: there will probably be other people out to try and see the northern lights so you won't be alone.

We were informed that northern lights may be visible here. We decided to give it a show. We arrived at 10:30 and saw lights about an hour after. Give it a shot! You never know. We saw them in cloudy weather. Park looked nice. It was night time and many people walking, skiing, sledding, and just hangout. Big lake in the middle that freezes in the winter. We saw people on the lake but I wouldn’t risk it. Cute park.

Amazing experience of walk around the frozen lake.

Best spot for Northern light … amazing experience- be prepared to wait 3-4hrs minus 11 when we captured this 21st March 2024…

Fantastic place in the city centre!!!! Calm and beautiful with many species of the birds. Wonderful tracks around. Strongly reccommend.

A lake area is ideal for walking and jogging. About 2.5-3 kms away from the centre of Tromsø, the area has residential houses surrounded nearby and is served by a motorable road. Regular route buses operate till nearby road and connect to the centre of Tromsø. Being dark sky after sunset and wide open skyline above and surrounding the lake area, the place is recommended/frequented to watch Northen Lights/Aurora after sunset hours.

Roald Engelbregt Gravning Amundsen was a Norwegian explorer of polar regions. He was a key figure of the period known as the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. The monument at Tromso Norway

A nice statue honouring one of the greatest ever polar explorers. Being the first man to reach the South Pole is an incredible feet.

Tromsø was an important base for many polar expeditions, Amundsen used Tromsø as a starting point for several expeditions and his last journey went from here in 1928.

Worth a visit if you are closeby! Plenty benches to sit and rest too.

Only the country that knows and remembers its history has a future.

1st person to reach the South Pole. Cool dude.

Good for just walking around Day time

A little expensive but also a great experience. The Ice bar was fun. They offer you an alcoholic or non alcoholic drink upon entering. Walking through the rooms of carved ice was a treat. Sit on the fur seats and enjoy your drink.

Visiting Magic Ice Bar was such a nice experience! The atmosphere is truly unique — everything made of ice, from the glasses to the sculptures, creates a magical vibe. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the drinks were great. It’s definitely something special to experience while in Tromsø!

-7, absolutely freezing as expected. Small little bar with lovely ice sculptures. Drinks were great, served in ice cups. Use the package for two drinks as opposed to one, better value that way. 30 mins is all you need. Worth doing for the experience alone. Very welcoming. Thanks 👍

My partner and I had a lot of fun at the ice bar. It is small but the sculptures and ice art are very well done and it is a fun experience overall. It’s nothing spectacular but it is something different. After paying, the staff help you put on an over-all jacket, like a cape for some warmth. The room is cold !! On entrance to the ice bar, you get a welcome drink from the menu, there is alcoholic & non-alcoholic drinks available. We took plenty of pictures and had fun going around. It doesn’t take too long as it is essentially one room. I would recommend coming here for the experience.

Typical "ice bar" with some cool ice sculptures. A little expensive, but I'd recommend the package that gets the second drink at a discounted price so it's worth your time. Something fun to do on an evening out!

Was an alright experience. The ice sculptures were very impressive with nordic stories attached to them. The staff were friendly and helpful. However expensive for what it is £26 each for the 'bring on the cold'. The drinks were not great ( very sweet). We only spent about 30 minutes in there as it started to get crowded at 2 ( we arrived at 1.30). No food options that I was made aware of. I do think they could have a better buisness model to attract more buisness/ interest in the right way.

Great experience in this bar. After entry you receive a welcome drink and you can stay as long as you want. Wrap up well as everything is made of ice so very cold inside, a large covering is provided but your own hat and gloves are essential.

A really nice, clean sauna experience with beautiful views. There’s a quiet sauna and a larger, social sauna. I was there in September and there was lots of availability. There are change rooms.

Worth it!! Relax in the steamy Nordic sauna and then test your limits with a cold plunge (or jump) into the Norwegian Sea! Great experience, easy check-in and a fun way to make new friends. 10/10 highly recommend!

Amazing place. Such a relaxing time in the Sauna with amazing views over Tromso. The arctic dip is definitely a must on a visit to Tromso, very refreshing

Absolutely amazing experience would 100% even to those who don't usually swim or sauna. It is beautiful. I would recommend going between 9.30 am and 3.30 pm in the winter as its still twighlight (we went in late November). We went at 2.30 pm and 3.30 pm ( hence the change of light in the pictures). We did the lavuu the classic looked good to. Think it depends on timings. I would say the lavvuu is more social however everyone was respectful of space, belongings and voices. The changing rooms are small so arrive knowing that you need to change quickly. There are no toilets. Shower outside is still cold water but just not as cold as the Arctic!!

Soul cleansing experience in Tromsø. The traditional Sami sauna felt scenic with the large windows looking out onto the water and landscape and maintained a great temperature the whole time even with people coming in and out. It is laid out so that you can socialise or close your eyes and listen to people enjoying the atmosphere with their old and new friends. The cold dip was very refreshing and well laid out with a ladder to go down into. The whole thing was very easy to book online, easy to find, and simple to navigate around. Some considerations that may be useful to others to expect: there is diesel run off from all the boats in the harbour which unfortunately comes into the area where you take a cold plunge. It can be washed off easily but some people may be sensitive to this. The changing room is very basic in a very small space with one small cold shower which can be a bit cosy when it is busy…be prepared to rub shoulders with your fellow sauna-goers! The storage in the changing room was open with no possibility to lock things away and sadly my t-shirt was stolen. I would definitely visit again but would go without valuables, fewer clothes, and I would plan to head straight back to your hotel for a warm shower and change out of slightly damp clothes rather than walking around town or going for lunch.

The lavvo sauna itself is really nice, super warm and love the layout. The change-rooms however could be improved, at least with a privacy screen at the door? The door opens right into the change-rooms and its a bit uncomfortable with tourists walking by the door and taking photos. Also, be prepared for no washrooms!

They have no lockers in changing rooms and the access code to those rooms is just written on check-in desk. So basically anyone could inter rooms. The changing rooms are tiny, and comfortable for no more than five people. They told you that the last 10 minutes of your hour is for changing, so you gonna spend less time in sauna than you would expect. The sauna itself was good.

This was such a fun experience in Tromso and a must do for anyone looking to leave with the most beautiful unique souvenir. We signed up for the jewelry making workshop to create from scratch gold rings. Price online is only for the cost of the workshop; make sure to add on the cost of whatever piece of jewelry you choose to make as well. Dagmar is really wonderful, sweet, patient, and a great instructor. You get to create your jewelry molds, melt down gold and pour it into molds, and then shape, file, and form your unique handcrafted beautiful jewelry piece. Highly recommend reaching out and doing a jewelry making workshop here! It also has a jewelry store if you don't have time to create something . You'll definitely find beautiful unique and organic pieces to add to your collection.

We took a class with Dagmar (I hope I spelled that right) and she was fantastic. The class was very interesting and our jewelry turned out absolutely awesome. It was a wonderful experience that I would highly recommend.

What a wonderful Atelier! Beautiful jewelry. Best of all, you can attend workshops for reasonable price to craft your own jewelry! I'm really into Wabi Sabi philosophy, so this was such a treat!

We signed up for the ring making class. Each of us made our own sterling silver ring. The woman showing us how to do it was very nice and very helpful. Everyone was happy with the final product.

I had the pleasure of participating in the "Make Your Own Mingle Ring" workshop at WabiSabi, and it was a truly warm and memorable experience. Everything about it was wonderful: from the captivating storytelling about the brand to the hands-on process of crafting my own ring. We were also treated to snacks and warm drinks, adding an extra touch of coziness to the experience :) I wholeheartedly recommend visiting WabiSabi, whether to participate in the workshop or simply to browse and purchase their unique, locally crafted jewelry!!

Very nice place! We had a very good experience by making our silver rings ourselves with Dagmar's precious help! It's for me the thing to do in Tromsø!!!

My partner bought my 30th birthday present at this beautiful jewellery store. Their products are unique and characterful, and the staff were so friendly - went above and beyond to help adjust the chain to the perfect length. Could not recommend enough!

One of the best experiences in my life witnessing the northern lights in Tromsø. Elisabeth is an amazing guide with lots of knowledge who pays attention to everyone and she has great photography skills. Will definitely go back!!

Elisabeth is the best!! She has a good vibe and passion for northern lights! She did everything to capture this magical experience!. I completely recommend to take the tour with her. Definitely, next time I will take this tour again with her. More than 5 stars for this experience!!

Amazing experience and Eli was magnificent!!

(Translated by Google) The best tour in Tromsø to see the Northern Lights! Seeing the auroras always depends on the weather, but Eli, the guide, does absolutely everything possible to give you the best chance of seeing them. I was only in Tromsø for a few days and I'm so grateful that she let me know in advance that the day I had scheduled wouldn't be good due to cloudy weather. She helped me reschedule the tour, something I really appreciate because it demonstrates her ethics and commitment to ensuring you truly experience them. Eli is extremely thorough, explains everything about the auroras in a clear and entertaining way, and also makes sure you get a good photo with them—she's a fantastic photographer! The tour can be done in Spanish or English, which is also a huge plus. I highly recommend this company. It was an unforgettable experience.

(Translated by Google) An incredible experience! Our guide was Eli, what a marvel to have met her! A lovely person. We took the bus to the area where we saw the auroras, and along the way, she told us very interesting things. An important detail was that she explained how to take photos of the auroras, adapting to the type of camera or phone we had, and she took all the time necessary to help us. My partner and I decided to choose the Spanish-speaking group, and we ended up with a very cool group that, whether you like it or not, made the experience even better. I would recommend this tour a million times over without hesitation. It was one of the most beautiful days of my life. On top of that, Eli takes beautiful photos with her professional camera and takes the time to ensure that each person has a special memory. The images are simply spectacular and help you relive that magical moment again and again 🫂💜 (Original) ¡Una experiencia increíble! Nuestra guía fue Eli, ¡qué maravilla haberla conocido! Una persona encantadora. Fuimos en bus hasta la zona donde vimos las auroras, y durante el trayecto ella nos iba contando cosas muy interesantes. Un detalle importante es que nos explicó cómo hacer fotos a las auroras, adaptándose según el tipo de cámara o el teléfono que tuviéramos, y se tomaba todo el tiempo necesario para ayudarnos.

Fue uno de los días más bonitos de mi vida. Encima, Eli hace unas fotos preciosas con su cámara profesional, y dedica tiempo a que cada persona tenga su recuerdo especial. Las imágenes son simplemente espectaculares y ayudan a revivir ese momento mágico una y otra vez 🫂💜.

(Translated by Google) Our experience with Eli as our guide was incredible! From the very beginning, he brought joy and instilled passion for his work. Our goal that night was to see the auroras, and we succeeded! Before we could even see them with the naked eye, Eli showed us how to use our cameras and showed them to us from his own! It was absolutely amazing. And he immediately started taking pictures of us all with his camera, which made us immensely happy because his photos, besides being very good, reflected what was happening there (an unforgettable moment in our lives). That night got even better as the sky showered us with more and more auroras. And there was Eli enjoying it with us too. The return trip was very pleasant, and honestly... I would do it again and recommend it to everyone! 🌎 (Original) Nuestra experiencia con Eli como guía fue increíble! Desde el principio aporta alegría y trasmite pasión por su trabajo. Nuestro objetivo esa noche era ver auroras y lo conseguimos !! Antes de que se vieran a simple vista Eli nos enseñó a utilizar nuestras cámaras y nos las enseñaba desde la suya! Una auténtica pasada. Y enseguida se puso con su cámara a hacernos fotos a todos, lo que nos hizo inmensamente felices porque sus fotos a parte de ser muy buenas reflejaban lo que estaba sucediendo allí (un momento inolvidable de nuestra vida) Esa noche fue yendo a mejor cuando el cielo nos regalaba más y más auroras. Y ahí estaba Eli disfrutando también con nosotros. El viaje de vuelta fue muy agradable y sinceramente… volvería a repetir y se lo recomendaría a todo el mundo ! 🌎

We went on this walking tour trough Tromso with Mauricio yesterday. It was a very interesting tour. He was amazing guide and told us a lot about Tromso and its history. I can highly recommend this tour!!

Mauricio has all the knowledge — and a few spots to warm up while on the 2h walk!

A must if you're visiting Tromso. Mauricio is a fun guide with lots of useful and interesting info about the city, the country, the Sami and a lot more. Recommended!

Mauricio was very friendly and knowledgeable! He even had historic photos to share, discounts at certain businesses and local recommendations. Great overview of Tromso.

Absolutely brilliant walking tour. Mauricio is knowledgable and very helpful.

I'm local myself but I learned many new and interesting things about Tromsø, its history and architecture. Mauricio is very knowledgeable and have many fun facts up his sleeve.

Three of us took part in the tour on November 4th. In a small group alongside 6 other participants, we had an informative, entertaining and exciting 3.5 hours. From the church as a starting point to the harbor and a short visit to the cinema, we learned a lot about Tromsø's history, the Sami culture, tips for insiders and the life of the Norwegians. A great tour with our guide Mauricio, who was ready for any questions. A great city tour! Thank you.

Beautiful place on the main square. With rich history (we got to hear it from the lady working there). The selection of hot dogs is enough and the prices are reasonable. There’s a place to eat them near the booth. They also have many drinks and beer on tap. I recommend!

The cutest hotdog hut with delicious reindeer hotdogs! A Must try in Tromsø. We got the reindeer dog with potato salad, crispy onions, ketchup and hotdog sauce. Super friendly staff who listed all the toppings for us and shared our excitement as first-time visitors.

We had planned visiting here before our Norwegian cruise and it didnt disappoint. We had the reindeer and beef hotdogs and tried a local dark and light beer. All of it was incredible as was the service which came with a friendly smile. Loved it! Would definitely recommend a visit.

If you’re visiting Tromsø, there’s one local tradition you simply have to experience: grabbing a hotdog from the famous outdoor stand in the city center. I went recently, and despite the long line snaking through the icy air, it was absolutely worth it. They offer a surprising variety of options — reindeer, beef, pork, and even vegetarian — so there’s something for everyone. I tried the reindeer hotdog, and it was fantastic: flavorful, hearty, and exactly what you want when you’re standing outside in Arctic temperatures. The service is extremely friendly and impressively fast, which is great because nobody wants to stand in the cold longer than necessary. One detail that really surprised me: you can order not just hot drinks and sodas, but also alcohol. For an outdoor spot, that’s pretty cool and adds to the relaxed, festive atmosphere. There is some covered seating, which helps a bit with the wind, but you’re still outside. In colder weather, a small heater would make the experience even more comfortable — though honestly, the chill feels like part of the whole Tromsø vibe. Prices are very decent, especially considering Norway’s usual food costs. All in all, it’s easy to see why this is a local tradition. If you’re in Tromsø, don’t skip it. It’s simple, delicious, and uniquely Northern Norwegian — everything a good street-food stop should be.

Raketten Bar & Pølse is a fun and cozy spot with great hot dogs and a lively atmosphere. Perfect for a quick bite or a casual drink. Friendly staff and a unique vibe make it a nice place to stop by.

We had two stops here for a quick bite on our recent visit in Tromsø. The "classic toppings" reindeer & beef hotdog was delicious and appetising. The second time I went for something different, opting for crispy onion and gherkins as toppings. Yet again - amazing. Mulled wine with almonds and raisins was also good and would suggest trying it, even if you're not a wine person like me. The tables behind the kiosk are quite limited but people are always open to share a seat with you so there is the option to eat & drink there instead of on foot.

Expect a long queue any time during the day. It is 100% touristy, however, absolutely worth it. We went twice and tried the classic combo. We loved it and would come again!

Quite a nice cafe in Tromso city. Can grab a quick lunch or early dinner here. Large bright seating area with an open view of the streets outside makes it quite nice to sit in. Good section of sandwiches and also baked items. Coffee is good and while it’s crowded the turnover is fast so no issues getting a table.

Cutest little café with delicious snacks and large portions of coffee. Service is nice and there is free tap water. Cozy ambience.

Quirky local-feel café with a very welcoming attitude. Cosy and intimate seating (upholstered couches for example) is dispersed amongst Norwegian history artefacts. There are even two private side rooms if you want more privacy. The staff were welcoming and seemed please to see us - as they did with all customers whether they seemed local or not. There were several people (presumably local) catching up with work on laptops or sitting reading quietly suggesting it’s a good place to go because the locals do. The drinks were good. We only had bakery items to eat but they were delicious. ♿️ Access would be a bit difficult as the way in is a bit convoluted, and the space between table la etc very limited and felt obstructed. Having said that the staff seemed friendly and I’m sure they would offer to help. 🐕 The place declares itself as dog-friendly. ⏰ Don’t believe the times on the door. They didn’t seem to apply then day we were there. The door said they were closing at 1700 but they happily served well after that. Just don’t rely on that.

Lovely café with good selection of pastry and small dishes. Large seating area, two bathrooms. We were a bit worried based on the pictures and its old school vibe but it was lovely and pretty. Based on my experience, I would say it is the best café we have been in Tromsø.

Vintage vibes galore, Nordic grandma version (this is a compliment). Old furniture, atmospheric old-school house appliances and plenty of space to sit. There is wifi (if you ask) the (friendly) staff who is also very happy to advise you on drinks. Can't really speak to the quality of food, cos I only had tea (still too poor for eating out in Norway), but giving it 5 stars as a vote of confidence.

Had a hot chocolate here and it was so good, however a bit expensive. The vibe in the place was amazing though.

Hot chocolate with cream, a brownie, and a salami sandwich were delicious. I highly recommend the apple cake. The establishment is popular, so it was quite busy when we visited on Saturday afternoon.

A warm cappuccino and even warmer service! We’re on a 17-day cruise through Norway, and Tromsø was today’s port of call. After walking extensively—including all the way across the Tromsø Bridge and back—my husband had a serious craving for a cappuccino. We tried two coffee shops before this one. The first had a 10-minute wait. The second told us they couldn’t make the cappuccino hot enough and offered to microwave it (no thanks!). Then we found **Helmersen**, right next door. A young man behind the counter confidently told my husband he could make it *extra hot*. He absolutely delivered—my husband was *so* happy. This place turned our afternoon around. Friendly service, a cozy atmosphere, and most importantly, a cappuccino made *just right*. Highly recommend if you’re in Tromsø and in need of a great coffee and even better attitude.

Fantastic last stop in Tromsø! A wonderful place run by great people. The cheese counter, wine selection, atmosphere and service make you feel truly welcome.

A deli always has nice meat and cheese plates! A very cool relaxing atmosphere. Our server Martina was very pleasant and contributed to our overall wonderful and relaxing experience.

Amazing experience once again. We visited in 2023 on a cruise, and again just a few days ago. The breakfast was incredible, and all three of us could not stop raving about it. Great service, great food, great drinks. Only slight disappointment was that the granola mixture and jam is not available to buy to take home - missing a trick here, guys. Hope to see you again before too long.

Excellent wine bar with a menu, not large, but good. I had the roastbeef sandwich and it was tasty. Good and polite service. And if you love all thing Italian to eat, you can get almost everything in this place. An extra star for the cleanliness of the toilet! Very big handicap toilet, that was sooo clean.

If you are searching as Pilgrim a true coffee experience, here we are! Very nice place in the heart of Trømso, where you can taste fine delicacies and an authentic coffee! One of the best in Norway

Cannot recommend enough! The quality of food, the presentation and the general vibe of the place is great! Compared to other restaurants close by, the price is also very reasonable.

I had the 6-course tasting menu which was good and the service was very good. What makes this a 3 vs. a 4 or 5 star restaurant for me is the decor and vibe of the upstairs dining room. That kind of quaint old-fashioned style just doesn't resonate with me.

Overall a great experience. The food was really delicious and the atmosphere was very warm and inviting. But what stood out most, is the amazing young British man who served us. One of the best services I ever got, he was really nice, understanding and patient. Because of him I came back again, and he even recognised me! :)

Really excellent place. We didn’t have reservations, but we’re able to eat at the bar. Michael was just the best server and host possible. For visiting for town definitely check it out. Book ahead and make a reservation if you want to have their six or nine course taste menu upstairs. Bar is casual with à la cart options

Fantastic food, just different from other places where it is same old stuff. Wonderful service by Michael. Thank you kindly! Went back the next evening and it was very good again. Make sure you make a reservation in advance though, as the bar is full for dinner very quickly.

Amazing and friendly service. The food was divine, the stunning norwegian cheeses (blue is wow) followed by the beef tenderloin and market fish of the day, some of the mosy flavorsome food we have ever eaten, the chef really knows what they are doing!! Thank you!

I had a fantastic dinner here! I started with a plate of local cold cuts, followed by the soup of the day—a creamy shrimp-based delight—and finished with the catch of the day, perfectly cooked. Every dish was flavorful and fresh. Highly recommended!

Unforgettable Dining Experience If you're in Tromsø and seeking an extraordinary culinary adventure, Emma's is the place to be. Celebrating my birthday here last Saturday was a decision we will never regret. I want to extend my compliments to the chef and all the staff. We opted for the 9-course menu with wine pairing, and the entire experience was exceptional. The staff were incredibly attentive, and the wine pairing was flawless. Though I didn’t keep track of the specific wines and cider, I wholeheartedly recommend opting for the full menu with wine pairing. Each dish was exquisite, but the deconstructed soup and the carpaccio stood out for me. As someone who usually isn’t a fan of soup, this one truly captivated me. The carpaccio was simultaneously simple, tender, and bursting with flavor. A heartfelt thank you to Klaus and Annie for creating such a memorable evening. With the midnight sun, we lost track of time! We will undoubtedly return to Emma's on our next visit to Tromsø.

Super friendly staff. Free entry. Free coffee and tea and a really nice temporary new place while the actual museum is being refurbished. Exhibition on peat could have been better linked to the substantial knowledge at the natural history museum / botanical garden in Tromsø

Visited when they had the analog polar film exhibition. Very powerful and well organized. Chatted for a bit with the lovely lady on the entry. Had a blast and still brought a book home! :) Plus it’s free entry and they have free coffee. Also, they expose and help all different kinds of independent artists and local people. Let’s support these initiatives!

We went to the place at 1245 hrs after checking the time on google. It was just shut down inspire of showing Open hrs. Wrong information put on the google. And there was no one inside.

The entry to this is free. When I went, there was an exhibition by products made by the Sami. It was okay. If you have time on your hands you can visit this place, but I wouldn't prioritize it.

Free museum with cookies and tea and a great chat with the curator ✨

They display contemporary arts for free of charge. not too many works exhibited but it is worth visiting.

A good place to go to if you are looking for art in Tromsø. Nice people might talk to you. Check out Mondo Books for rare books.

Krane Kunstgalleri in Tromsø is an absolute gem for art lovers. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff are incredibly attentive, happily sharing insights about the local artists featured in the gallery. Alongside impressive larger artworks, they also offer smaller prints and greeting cards—ideal for travelers looking to take a piece of Northern Norway home. One highlight I really enjoyed was the series of fish head sculptures mounted on the wall by the window—quirky, charming, and definitely eye-catching! I didn’t take any photos during my visit, which felt appropriate to respect the artwork and the gallery setting. The gallery is conveniently located right on Tromsø’s main shopping street and even connects to an interior design shop next door, making it a great stop for both art and design enthusiasts. Definitely worth a visit!

Beautiful art pieces! Really worth a visit!

(Translated by Google) Very good service. Know or have good knowledge of artists who have exhibitions here or pictures that are sold. Well received, have shopped there several times. Would love to visit again. (Original) Veldig god service. Kjenner eller har god kunnskap om kunstnere som har utstilling her eller bilder som selges. Godt mottatt, har handlet der flere ganger. Kommer gjerne innom igjen.

(Translated by Google) Pleasant and attentive service that is there for real - with curiosity to find the right solution for the customer. Impressed! (Original) Hyggelig og imøtekommende betjening som er der på ekte - med nysgjerrighet for å finne riktig løsning for kunden. Imponert!

(Translated by Google) Handed in the paper/canvas to make a wooden frame around, satisfied with the result 👍 (Original) Leverte inn papir/lerret for å få laga træramme rundt, fornøyd med resultatet 👍

(Translated by Google) Great business with great photos. Located at street level in the center of Tromsø. Large windows so you can see the pictures even if you don't go inside. Here you should take a look. Be fascinated by all the beautiful pictures. (Original) Flott forretning med flotte bilder . Ligger på gateplan i Tromsø sentrum . Store vinduer slik at man ser bildene selv om man ikke går inn . Her bør man ta en titt innom . Blir fascinert av alle de flotte bildene .

(Translated by Google) Great gallery but shouldn't have moved from the city centre (Original) Flott galleri, men burde ikke ha flyttet fra sentrum

Great spot to walk around in the morning and watch the northern lights in night (although it's still bit bright). In the middle of the city, many entries

Really love this place, located in the middle of the city. Perfect for a very easy walk close from the nature. Lots of birds around to observe, very quiet and peaceful. I truly enjoyed playing handpan there.

Beautiful area. We got to enjoy the winter wonderland on this short and easy hike around the lake!

We stayed in an airbnb near the park and it was a very good decision. We were able to see the northern lights directly from the park. It’s a beautiful place and I would totally recommend at least walking around the lake and enjoying the view.

I came here to see the northern lights. It’s quite dark and the path can be hard to walk, so I recommend bringing a flashlight or headlamp. I actually saw a beautiful, big aurora around 12:30 AM! However, since the city lights are a bit close, the aurora looked slightly faint here. If you want a darker spot, Telegrafbukta is a bit better and easier to see from — I definitely recommend checking it out! I’ll share a comparison video of how the aurora looked from different spots on YouTube, so feel free to check it out for reference! 🎥 @asumikumano

A beautiful lake for a relaxing walk! The trail around it is easy to follow, the view is nice and the surrounding nature is so peaceful. Perfect for a little escape or a refreshing stroll in the fresh air.

We visited this beautiful lake twice during our 4 day stay in Tromso. On both occasions we walked from the center up the hill to the lake. Beautiful views and a very calm and relaxing environment.

For 40 and under highly recommended. For me at 70, the Home Depot ladder or 10 foot jump was a bit of a stretch. Still, we did it all and the sauna has a very nice vibe. Sara was a great host and her playlist was super.

This place is really good. You can enjoy both dry and wet sauna, hot spring and relax yourself inside the boat. The most special part is, you can jump into the Arctic Ocean! We do it under the temperature of -2”C. It’s very crazy but amazing experience. The staffs are so nice and talkative. We chatted a lot. Very suggest this experience when you travel Tromso

We spent an unforgettable Ski & Sail trip on the Vulkana with Lilo, Gabi, Hogne, and Soren. The crew went way beyond expectations — Lilo even dove in and served us fresh sea urchin straight from the ocean! The food was next-level (that cod soup from the fisherman’s catch and the legendary steak dinner with lingonberries...), the hot tub was unbeatable after skiing, and the space on the boat is laid out perfectly. So much room, cozy bedrooms — felt better than my own place in Zürich. Huge thanks for making every little wish happen, even with all our crazy food allergies!

It was a truly relaxing experience, in rainy Tromsø! The outdoors hot tub had an amazing view to the bridge, the Arctic Cathedral and the rest of the harbour. The rotation between hot and cold was rejuvenating! Our host, David, was extremely friendly and helpful. I'm happy we didn't miss out on this unique experience in Tromsø!

Absolutely fantastic experience. The staff were great and friendly. They went above and beyond. The ambiance of the ship was great with a mix of the original boat and high end spa features. The steam room was particularly excellent. The Arctic plunge was a once in a lifetime event not to be missed!

We did a Ski & Sail trip on the Vulkana and had the perfect crew. Lilo, Gabi, Hogne, and Soren are simply fantastic — warm, thoughtful, and always one step ahead to make everyone feel at home. Lilo rules the kitchen like a queen, serving incredible food that made every day even better. The atmosphere was effortless: professional when needed, familiar when it mattered. From unforgettable meals to evenings with local fishermen, everything felt genuine. Huge thanks for an amazing trip — would sail with you again anytime!

Great unique experience with wood burning heaters! David and his team provided us with excellent customer service and we felt pampered the entire time. Very relaxing. I almost talked myself out of the Arctic plunge but happy I did it for my 57th birthday celebration! Only recommendation would be to play some spa or relaxing music to enhance the experience.

The pub, the brewery, the cellars! 10/10 all around. Great staff, great beer. I'd highly recommend taking a tour of the cellars and brewery - you won't regret it! Shout out to our guide, Eugenie, who was an absolute gem! Thank you for a phenomenal and memorable afternoon!

£15 a pint , odd way to pay having to put in the amount . Unreal options of beers to taste . Enjoyable , seems LGBT flag in sight ❤️

Lots of good beer in Tromso's oldest pub so get a flight. If you can go on a tour at the brewery, do it. A bit of the same old at first but then they show you the tanks and how they brew to music! So cool!

Wanted to check a bucket list item: consume copious amounts of alcohol at the world’s northern most brewery - turned out a microbrewery opened in svålbard but still enjoyed this place, the beer selection is massive, they even had beer from svålbard & I count that as a win. Bartenders were very knowledgeable & their suggestions came correct. There’s also a taxidermied eisbär at the entrance. What’s not to love?

The brewery is very nice and the people working there really kind and welcoming but the tour is not worth £20 per person! You watch a video for 20 min, you drink a small glass of beer while looking at some posters on the walls and then you go into a room with a few fermentation tanks. The brewery moved site so there is really not much left in Tromsø to see during the tour!!!

Don’t expect food - but there are 50+ taps of beer so… Although you can by chips and nuts. The stout selection is excellent. We didn’t have a bad beer here.

We took a guided tour. It was very interesting and informative. The only thing I think could be improved is that they show a 19-minute documentary to begin with - come on, I don't want to pay for a video I could watch at home!
