In reply to Michelle. Absolutely, the city centre is just 10 minutes bus ride from the airport. See norwaytraveller.com for some advice :-)

Hi, I have a 13 hour layover in Tromso during the day in early January. Will I be able to do or see much?

Thanks for the article!.. I’ve been living in Tromso for quite some time now, and it is nice to see it again “from your eyes”. Just as they say, it is so easy take things for granted.

In reply to Brea. They do, but summer solstice (Midsummer) is celebrated more vigorously in Sweden and Finland. Still, I did sit in an Oslo park last midsummer with a whole bunch of people and had a really lovely evening :)

Coming from Alaska, I can’t wait to make my way North for a trip sometime in the (hopefully) near future! Maybe for summer solstice in the warmer months…it seems Norway celebrates many of the things common in Alaska : )….must have to do with the extremely cold climates they share!

I’m going to Tromso to study a PhD programme. I thing I’ll be able to see the Northern Lights during a couple of years staying there. 🙂

I visited Tromsø myself at the beginning of January, it was nice to re-live the experience through your eyes.
I didn’t quite manage to see the northern lights properly either, a pain shared is a pain halved? 😉
