7 Things to Do in Tromso That You Shouldn't Miss
The fjords and mountain ranges of Tromso are simply magical. Here, the northern lights sparkle across the same navy blue sky that's illuminated by the midnight sun. You'll be spellbound by Tromso's enchanting fishing villages, fragrant botanical gardens and crystalline waterfalls. Music is a major part of the Tromso culture, particularly techno and electronic music, which adds some thumping thunder to the city once a year during the annual Insomnia Festival.

This tiny little village with a lovely beach is about 45 mins drive from Tromsø through lovely landscape. Apart from the beach there is not much to do, but the seclusion and quietness of the area is well worth a half day's trip.

We visited the tourists information office to get some guide in the search for the best company that did northern light searches. The tourist service was quick and and very helpful but they could just guide us not point at a specific guide company as that would not be correct. Instead we got much good information and went to search on line with the guidance received.

The Tromso Public library and City Archives is an awesome building far from any other buildings on Groennegata. It truly stands out compared to other building both at night time and in daylight. Well worth visiting and if not just for getting the warmth into your body again on a cold day.

Met some friends in the museum on a Sunday, which had free entry (don't know if that's normal?). Enjoyed the art which was pretty varied, arranged on three floors (there was also a lift).

We happened upon this delightful museum full of old photos of Sámi people illustrating their life and culture. We were also interested to learn about Cora Sandel a respected Norwegian author and one time artist. Finally there is an exhibition about our relationship to religion.
