Top Things to do in Tromso
What to do and see in Tromso, Northern Norway: The Best Nature & Parks
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.

A perfect place to experience the midnight sun and the Northern lights! The trail runs along the shoreline from the parking lot at the end of the road on Russelv and leads to a lighthouse on the northernmost point of Lyngen Peninsula. The walk takes approximately 1 hour.

What a lovely surprise as only 500 metres from where our ship docked and free to enter. The Gardens are very colourful even on a dull, damp day. The flowers were amazing for a garden that suffers such extreme conditions, mid night sun, seven months under snow but still a vast variety of flowers. Made up for the miserable weather! Not to be missed when in Tromso.

Reviewed By underwinterskies - Singapore, Singapore
Have been here twice last year during the winter nights and it is a good spot to catch the glimpse of the auroras if you’re lucky. Went back this year again during winter and tried to see how it looks like in the morning twilight and I was really in awe of how beautiful the place is in the day. (Really dark at night hence you can’t really make out the details of the buildings / fjords / surroundings of the beach)
8. Tromso Mini Zoo

Reviewed By asbhansen - Oslo, Norway
A very cozy and quiet mini zoo, where animals seemed happy and relaxed and walked up to the people if they wanted to rather than the people crowding the animals. The staff seemed to really care for the animals. This is a place I would love to visit again!

10. Prestvannet Lake
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By charlottesteve00
Prestvannet is a scenic area near Tromsø in Norway. Together with the pond and the surrounding wooded area it represents an important natural space, and also a fundamental nesting place for different types of birds. Located a short walk from the center of Tromso on this beautiful lake surrounded by lots of greenery, the locals go for a stroll and relax. Being also a cultural center, it is often full of schoolchildren. I have visited it both in summer and in winter when it is completely frozen. If you are in the area I recommend a visit.
