Tromsø, Norway

Photography Tour in Tromsø

The best photos of Tromsø aren't at the obvious landmarks. The real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot.

Tromsø is the gateway to the Arctic, a surprisingly vibrant city above the 69th parallel with colorful wooden houses, the Arctic Cathedral, and front-row seats for the Northern Lights.

Top Photography Tour Spots

•Fjellheisen cable car viewpoint — a cable car climbing 421 meters above Tromsø in four minutes, offering views of the city, surrounding fjords, and Arctic landscape
•Northern Lights viewing — one of the world's best aurora borealis locations at 69°N, visible from September to March when solar activity illuminates the Arctic sky

Hidden Photography Tour Gems
