The first activity is a hunt for the Northern Lights. Several choices are available for observing this incredible phenomenon. First, there is the option of taking a sea cruise. Then, those who want to put all the odds on their side can opt for a bus tour that proposes to discover several spots. Finally, for the more adventurous, a car rental should be preferred.
Moreover, Norwegian waters are exceptionally famous for their impressive aquatic fauna. Indeed, different species, including whales, orcas and sometimes dolphins, can be noticed. However, it is recommended that visitors embark on a cruise to find themselves in the middle of snowy fjords and try to spot whales or other cetaceans.
Back on land, the adventure can continue into the Tamok Valley to view the ice domes. These are built every year just before the polar night, highlighting the ancient Sami art of snow and ice. In addition, these domes are generally used to make bars, cinemas, restaurants or hotels where people can sleep at night.
For those who love sensational sports, snowmobiling is the way to go. They should expect to go outside the city to appreciate the surroundings. The program's exploration spotlights the mountains, the frozen lake of Finn, and the fjords. Speaking of fjords, in Tromsø, travelers can experience midnight sun cruises. Whether by sailboat, zodiac or hybrid vessel, these excursions are popular to better appreciate the beauty of the surrounding landscapes.
In addition, in Tromsø, it is advisable to take the Fjellheisen. It is a cable car that connects the city to the top of the Storsteinen mountain. The crossing is done so that the city's landscapes and the fjords or islands nearby can be enjoyed. At the top is a restaurant where delicious meals and hot drinks await.
For history buffs, a stop at the Polar Museum is a must. It traces the city's history, including the explorers, scientists, and first photo hunters. Stuffed animals, photos and traditional objects are on display. ◄
