And the Northern Lights start with a bang. \n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Some 350 km inside the Arctic Circle, surrounded by a mountain landscape crisscrossed by waterways, you find Troms\u00f8, the biggest city in Arctic Scandinavia. Here, autumn is a beautiful time with colorful forests, the first northern lights, fresh food from this year&#8217;s harvest, and a lively vibe with food, nightlife, and festivals in town. If you ask the locals, they will tell you &#8216;this is the best time of the year.&#8217; A few autumn days with hiking in majestic scenery, some fun activities on the water, good food, and the odd glass in a rowdy Troms\u00f8 bar could be the highlight of your autumn. Maybe the Aurora Borealis shows up too.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ORG_DSC04662.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1600\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ORG_DSC04662-2048x1365.jpg\" alt=\"The sun has set over Autumn Troms\u00f8 \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ORG_DSC04662.jpg\" data-caption=\"The sun has set over Autumn Troms\u00f8 \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC04860.jpg\" data-size=\"1600x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC04860-768x1152.jpg\" alt=\"Autumn in the streets of Troms\u00f8 \u00a9 Jensenmedia\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC04860.jpg\" data-caption=\"Autumn in the streets of Troms\u00f8 \u00a9 Jensenmedia\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC04899.jpg\" data-size=\"1600x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC04899-768x1152.jpg\" alt=\"A crisp autumn day \u00a9 Jensenmedia\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC04899.jpg\" data-caption=\"A crisp autumn day \u00a9 Jensenmedia\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC04927.jpg\" data-size=\"1600x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC04927-768x1152.jpg\" alt=\"Roald Amundsen and cottonwood trees in October \u00a9 Jensenmedia\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC04927.jpg\" data-caption=\"Roald Amundsen and cottonwood trees in October \u00a9 Jensenmedia\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: The sun has set over Autumn Troms\u00f8 \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Autumn in the streets of Troms\u00f8 \u00a9 Jensenmedia<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: A crisp autumn day \u00a9 Jensenmedia<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: Roald Amundsen and cottonwood trees in October \u00a9 Jensenmedia<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hiking in the autumn forest is a remarkable experience.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By late August, blueberry leaves turn red, while the dwarf birch above the forest line adds a touch of crimson. In September, the mountainsides are adorned with ochre birch foliage, mingled with lemony yellow and red from aspen and rowan trees. Sooner or later, on a stormy night, the foliage gets blown away, revealing black branches against the autumn sky. Crystal-clear streams and lakes, crisp air, and far-reaching views await. If rain clouds appear, opt for shorter hikes and witness foliage dripping with wetness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Troms\u00f8 is surrounded by mountains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mountains are all around, visible wherever you look. Some are so close that you can walk to them from town. City buses provide easy access to many more. With a rental car, you can explore the Alpine peaks and rounded hills on Kval\u00f8ya Island or discover the diverse trails on the mainland side of Troms\u00f8. For an impressive experience, the Lyngen Alps rise 1800 meters from the fjord. Hiking trails come in various sizes, offering options for full-day adventures or enjoyable walks to nearby viewpoints<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"t2-featured-content-layout alignwide alignwide

island of Kval\u00f8ya protects the city from the fury of the Atlantic. The mid section of the island is filled with alpine peaks and small glaciers, a mere half an hour out of town. Further out, the island of Sommar\u00f8y is a lively fishing village with lovely beaches. The ocean current of Rystraumen and the rock carvings at Skavberg are interesting points on the way. A drive around Southern Kval\u00f8ya takes are mere 2 hours, but you can make many stops on the way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-explore-the-fjords-inland-and-stay-all-evening\">Explore the fjords inland &#8211; and stay all evening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Inland from Troms\u00f8, you find an impressive fjord and mountain area. In autumn, the high mountains might have a sugar coating of snow, wheareas the lush forest further down is ablaze with colours. Take the ferry across to the Lyngen Alps, drive the small country road to sleepy hamlets and stop at local cafes to eat and watch people. Inland areas tend to be drier than the coastal areas, so if you stay until after dark, you have good chances of spotting the Northern Lights. <\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC03550.jpg\" data-size=\"1920x1080\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC03550.jpg\" alt=\"Straumen g\u00e5rd is an old farm on Kval\u00f8ya Island&#039;s southern side \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC03550.jpg\" data-caption=\"Straumen g\u00e5rd is an old farm on Kval\u00f8ya Island&#039;s southern side \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/001070_Baard-Loeken_www.nordnorge.com_Balsfjord.jpg\" data-size=\"575x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/001070_Baard-Loeken_www.nordnorge.com_Balsfjord.jpg\" alt=\"The white snow on the mountain tops matching the heylage bales in Balsfjord \u00a9 B\u00e5rd L\u00f8ken\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/001070_Baard-Loeken_www.nordnorge.com_Balsfjord.jpg\" data-caption=\"The white snow on the mountain tops matching the heylage bales in Balsfjord \u00a9 B\u00e5rd L\u00f8ken\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/David-Jensen-@jensenmedia-01774-e1754396651943.jpg\" data-size=\"1600x1602\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/David-Jensen-@jensenmedia-01774-e1754396651943-768x769.jpg\" alt=\"Quiet day of autumn at the fjord \u00a9 Jensenmedia\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/David-Jensen-@jensenmedia-01774-e1754396651943.jpg\" data-caption=\"Quiet day of autumn at the fjord \u00a9 Jensenmedia\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC06869.jpg\" data-size=\"1601x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC06869-768x1151.jpg\" alt=\"On Kval\u00f8ya Island in autumn \u00a9 Jensenmedia\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC06869.jpg\" data-caption=\"On Kval\u00f8ya Island in autumn \u00a9 Jensenmedia\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: Straumen g\u00e5rd is an old farm on Kval\u00f8ya Island&#039;s southern side \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: The white snow on the mountain tops matching the heylage bales in Balsfjord \u00a9 B\u00e5rd L\u00f8ken<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: Quiet day of autumn at the fjord \u00a9 Jensenmedia<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: On Kval\u00f8ya Island in autumn \u00a9 Jensenmedia<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Northern Lights season in Troms\u00f8 begins with a bang<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Located under the Northern Lights oval, the area with the highest solar activity, Troms\u00f8 offers an excellent opportunity to witness the Aurora Borealis.

In September, you have the brightest autumn colours, they are mostly gone in October. November feels like a transition from autumn to winter, dubbed &quot;seinh\u00f8st&quot; - late Autumn in Troms\u00f8. \\n\\t\\t\\t&lt;\/p&gt;\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What weather can I expect?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tWith a bit of luck, you might get mild daytime temperatures, perfect for city strolling. Mild, clear days means the nights might be cold (but not always!), frost may occur in early September. If the rain weathers come in, it can rain considerably as the sea temperatures have risen during summer. Snow can happen in September, but then it usually melts away the same day. In October, it might linger for a few days. \\n\\t\\t\\t&lt;\/p&gt;\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What clothes should I wear?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tThe &quot;Troms\u00f8 uniform&quot; in autumn is a good, waterproof jacket, jeans, a t-shirt and trainers. This is good enough for city strolling most days and all autumn. Have a hat, gloves and a scarf as well as more layers on the ready. For outdoor activities bring long johns, a woollen undershirt, a good woollen or fleece sweater and rainproof outer layers. Solid hiking shoes are also a good idea. \\n\\t\\t\\t&lt;\/p&gt;\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is it easy to get a table in restaurants?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tYou should definitely book tables well ahead at all the good places in town. This is especially important on Fridays and Saturdays. Consult Visit Troms\u00f8&#039;s restaurant overview. \\n\\t\\t\\t&lt;\/p&gt;\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Where should I stay in Troms\u00f8?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tThere is a large number of first class and mid range hotels in the city centre, as well as some budget options. A campsite is found at the edge of the built up area, with cabins of good standard. You can also stay out of town. In Sommar\u00f8y, there is a comfortable hotel, but there are also bungalows for self-catering spread around, all very suitable for seeing the Northern Lights away from the city lights.  Check out Visit Troms\u00f8&#039;s overview. \\n\\t\\t\\t&lt;\/p&gt;\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What attractions should I see in Troms\u00f8?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tIn good weather, you shouldn&#039;t miss the Cable Car, and it&#039;s also good in the evening. The Arctic Cathedral is Troms\u00f8&#039;s architectural landmark. Polaria is an Arctic experience centre, with seals and fish from the area.  The University Museum is a classical museum with exhibits from the culture, history and natural sciences in the north. The Polar Museum deals with Troms\u00f8&#039;s history of discoveries and Arctic hunting. The Botanic Garden has a surprising array of flowers from around the world, blossoming well into the autumn. The Science Centre runs Northern Lights shows.

In September, you have the brightest autumn colours, they are mostly gone in October. November feels like a transition from autumn to winter, dubbed &quot;seinh\u00f8st&quot; - late Autumn in Troms\u00f8. \n\t\t\t&lt;\/p&gt;"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What weather can I expect?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;\n\t\t\t\tWith a bit of luck, you might get mild daytime temperatures, perfect for city strolling. Mild, clear days means the nights might be cold (but not always!), frost may occur in early September. If the rain weathers come in, it can rain considerably as the sea temperatures have risen during summer. Snow can happen in September, but then it usually melts away the same day. In October, it might linger for a few days. \n\t\t\t&lt;\/p&gt;"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What clothes should I wear?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;\n\t\t\t\tThe &quot;Troms\u00f8 uniform&quot; in autumn is a good, waterproof jacket, jeans, a t-shirt and trainers. This is good enough for city strolling most days and all autumn. Have a hat, gloves and a scarf as well as more layers on the ready. For outdoor activities bring long johns, a woollen undershirt, a good woollen or fleece sweater and rainproof outer layers. Solid hiking shoes are also a good idea. \n\t\t\t&lt;\/p&gt;"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Is it easy to get a table in restaurants?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;\n\t\t\t\tYou should definitely book tables well ahead at all the good places in town. This is especially important on Fridays and Saturdays. Consult Visit Troms\u00f8&#039;s restaurant overview. \n\t\t\t&lt;\/p&gt;"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Where should I stay in Troms\u00f8?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;\n\t\t\t\tThere is a large number of first class and mid range hotels in the city centre, as well as some budget options. A campsite is found at the edge of the built up area, with cabins of good standard. You can also stay out of town. In Sommar\u00f8y, there is a comfortable hotel, but there are also bungalows for self-catering spread around, all very suitable for seeing the Northern Lights away from the city lights.  Check out Visit Troms\u00f8&#039;s overview. \n\t\t\t&lt;\/p&gt;"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What attractions should I see in Troms\u00f8?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;\n\t\t\t\tIn good weather, you shouldn&#039;t miss the Cable Car, and it&#039;s also good in the evening. The Arctic Cathedral is Troms\u00f8&#039;s architectural landmark. Polaria is an Arctic experience centre, with seals and fish from the area.  The University Museum is a classical museum with exhibits from the culture, history and natural sciences in the north. The Polar Museum deals with Troms\u00f8&#039;s history of discoveries and Arctic hunting. The Botanic Garden has a surprising array of flowers from around the world, blossoming well into the autumn. The Science Centre runs Northern Lights shows.
