Holiday Idea
Gateway to the Arctic, Norway’s northernmost hub of Tromsø is a lively city surrounded by mountains, fjords and islands. Fishermen’s tales have shaped popular culture in this country which sings of the sea, and every island and islet has a story to tell. Spend days enjoying some of the key attractions in the city, before travelling east to the Lyngen peninsula to relax and take part in exhilarating winter activities.

where the water provides a stunning reflection of its innovative architecture.
