Tromso

Norway

Tromsø is the largest city of northern Norway, on an island 350 kilometers above the Arctic Circle. The gateway to the Arctic — launch point of polar expeditions — it blends university life with polar heritage. Attractions include the Arctic Cathedral's iconic triangles, the Polar Museum and Polaria, the cable car to Mount Storsteinen's views, the northern lights in winter and midnight sun in summer, the Mack brewery — among the world's northernmost — and the Arctic wilderness surrounding the city.
