Conditions vary a lot. To cover all aspects of the unpredictable weather you should think of dressing in layers with a windproof and waterproof outer layer and waterproof hiking boots with room for warm socks.

Please don't plan so many driving routes before you arrive, because if the Northern Lights it's your main reason for your visit, then you should wait to find out where the best conditions are

There are several attractions within easy walking distance from the city centre, while others are only a short bus ride away.

We all know food and alcohol is expensive in Norway. We packed our bags with readymade meals like Bachelor's pasta, 2-minute noodles, different soups, some Indian readymade meals from Ashoka and Shana and also from the range "Look what I have found", loads of crisps etc. And of course a couple of bottles of wine. We had to do some grocery shopping once from the Aida Handel shop during our stay and didn't find the prices too expensive there.

This would have to be one of the most beautiful cities I have visited. From old buildings to vast mountainous countryside. I had the pleasure to be here when it was snowing: cold, yes, but invigorating at the same time. If in norway take time out to visit this city you will enjoy your time here.

Really friendly locals. Loads to do, eat, see. Everything reasonably priced. Beautiful area. Amazing scenery.

Lots to do: reindeer sledding, snowmobiling, dogsledding, northern light chasing, and lots of snowballs.

We found the people friendly, the area a delight to visit, great restaurants, museums, bars, excursions

Undoubtedly one of the best trips we have ever taken. Nowadays whenever we discuss the hypothetical question " Out of all the places visited which one would you like to visit again?" all four of us unanimously shout "Tromso"
