Top Things to do in Troms
The 7 Best Traveler Resources in Troms, Northern Norway
From its snow-capped mountains to its mighty fjords, from grand valleys to tranquil lakes and lovely archipelagos, the county of Troms is bursting with natural wonders. To cap it off, it also plays host to the northern lights. Tromso, the capital, is the gateway to the region's rugged beauty, but with 65,000 people it's also a surprisingly rich city culturally, with many interesting museums and sites (including the world's northernmost botanical garden) and even a pulsing nightlife.

I wanted to say a HUGE thank you to Tromsø tourist office for being so helpful in booking our once in a lifetime evening trip in the hope of seeing the mysterious Northern lights. The lady I’m so sorry I didn’t note your name )who helped in our plight was so understanding knowing that our previously booked trip was cancelled at the last minute due to poor weather which let us one night to see the lights before we left Tromsø. The lady was fantastic, understanding, empathetic and patient....thank you. We were truly spoilt by the spectacular display that greeted us in the booked trip.
