2Tromsø, Norway

Tromsø, located above the Arctic Circle in Norway, is often called the “Gateway to the Arctic.”  

This northern town is a prime location for viewing the Northern Lights, as well as for experiencing Sami culture and husky sledding.

Surrounded by mountains, fjords, and untouched wilderness, Tromsø offers a variety of winter activities, including ice fishing, whale watching, and reindeer sleigh rides. The Polar Night, when the sun doesn’t rise for several weeks, adds an extra layer of mystery and wonder to this Arctic wonderland.
