Tromsø, Norway

Tromsø is home to about 78,000 people, it was founded in 1794 and has grown into the largest city in northern Norway. Located well above the Arctic Circle, temperatures typically range from around 25°F in winter to 59°F in summer, although conditions can vary. Our temperature today was in the mid- sixties, making it perfect for a walking tour of the city center.
