Tromsø is also a prime spot for Northern Lights viewing in the winter and experiencing the Midnight Sun in the summer.
Some of the rooms here offer stunning views of the Tromsø skyline and surrounding mountains, perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing or adventure. All rooms are stylish and comfortable, and come kitted out with free wi-fi, flatscreen TVs, workspaces, and tiled bathrooms with walk-in showers.

Find out more about Tromso City
It’s a place of stark seasonal contrasts, from the perpetual daylight and Midnight Sun of the summer months to the near-constant darkness of Polar Night and the ethereal glow of the Northern Lights. When blanketed in snow, Tromsø’s array of colourful, timber-clad houses are a particularly charming sight, while the bold, angular elegance of the Arctic Cathedral, just across the water from downtown, is the city’s proud architectural highlight.
From the Polar Museum to the world’s northernmost botanical garden and the plethora of cosy cafes and souvenir stores along the main street (Storgata), there’s no shortage of things to see and do in the city itself. Take a trip on the Fjellheisen cable car to the summit of Mount Storsteinen for the ultimate viewpoint of Tromsø from above, and find respite from the cold in the floating sauna, Pust, in the middle of the harbour.
And of course, a whole host of thrilling outdoor adventures await, including husky sledding, skiing, snowmobiling and whale watching. Joining a guided Northern Lights tour is your best bet for escaping the clouds to witness one of nature’s greatest shows – though you might be lucky enough to see them from the city when the skies are clear.
