15 days in Tromso Itinerary

The cultural and economic hub of northern Norway, Tromso boasts a historical city center containing one of the highest concentrations of wooden houses in Europe.

Do some cultural sightseeing at Tromsø Museum – Universitetsmuseet and Northern Norwegian Science Center. Discover out-of-the-way places like Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum and Troll Museum. Venture out of the city with trips to Lyngseidet (Aurora Spirit & The Steindal's Glacier), Northern Light Dog Adventure (in Nordkjosbotn) and Balsfjord Fjordmuseum (in Balsfjord Municipality). There's lots more to do: explore the world behind art at Perspektivet Museum, get a taste of the local shopping with Krane Art Gallery, view the masterpieces at Art Gallery Julie's Garden, and take in the views from Tromso Bridge.
