id=\"h-troms-lies-directly-under-the-auroral-oval\">Troms\u00f8 lies directly under the auroral oval<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like much of Northern Norway, Troms\u00f8 lies directly underneath the Northern Lights Oval, which makes it one of the most optimal places on the planet for seeing the Northern Lights. You can often see the Northern Lights in the city centre, but most people prefer to leave the centre and find some better night darkness. However, in Troms\u00f8&#8217;s unstable coastal climate, there are often snow clouds hanging over the mountaintops. For this reason, most Northern Lights hunters go further out into the winter night. Sometimes their hunt takes them to the driest place in Northern Europe, behind the Lyngen Alps, while at other times they head to the outer coast; it all depends on weather and wind direction. High mountains, fjords and islands create a large number of microclimates, and somewhere in the area, there will almost always be a place with clear skies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-storgata-is-the-heart-of-culture-in-troms\">Storgata is the heart of culture in Troms\u00f8<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> The centre of Troms\u00f8 is a colourful, composite and multi-layered mixture of colourful, pretty wooden houses from the 1800s, some pearls of Art Nouveau and Functionalism, practical 1970s concrete, and architectural statement buildings from the oil era. Shops with good-quality merchandise, crowded, sociable cafes, restaurants serving fish, and a noisy, good-humoured night-life means that Storgata is always full of people, more or less at any time of the day or night. During the winter there tends to be a festival every weekend in Storgata, from the Film Festival via the Northern Lights Festival to the Reindeer Racing Championship.  <\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-2\">\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\/2019\/11\/002292_Yngve-Olsen-Saebbe_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/002292_Yngve-Olsen-Saebbe_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" alt=\"The northern lights dancing over Troms\u00f8 on a winter&#039;s evening \u00a9 Yngve Olsen S\u00e6bbe\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/002292_Yngve-Olsen-Saebbe_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-caption=\"The northern lights dancing over Troms\u00f8 on a winter&#039;s evening \u00a9 Yngve Olsen S\u00e6bbe\" \/>\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\/11\/001279_Baard-Loeken_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/001279_Baard-Loeken_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" alt=\"The aurora over Otertinden south of Troms\u00f8 \u00a9 Yngve Olsene S\u00e6bbe\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/001279_Baard-Loeken_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-caption=\"The aurora over Otertinden south of Troms\u00f8 \u00a9 Yngve Olsene S\u00e6bbe\" \/>\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 northern lights dancing over Troms\u00f8 on a winter&#039;s evening \u00a9 Yngve Olsen S\u00e6bbe<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: The aurora over Otertinden south of Troms\u00f8 \u00a9 Yngve Olsene S\u00e6bbe<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-learn-more-about-troms-s-history-in-walking-distance-from-your-hotel\">Learn more about Troms\u00f8&#8217;s history in walking distance from your hotel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can learn about the history of polar bear trapping and the great explorers in the Polar Museum. The seals and aquariums of the Polaria visitor centre are suitable for everyone, while tours of Mack, the northernmost brewery in the world, are only for adults. There are two wooden cathedrals in the city centre, which are more intimate than impressive, while the more architecturally airy Arctic Cathedral looks down on Troms\u00f8 Bridge. The University Museum has extensive exhibitions about the history, culture and nature of Northern Norway. From the Fjellheisen cable car you can see far and wide across the sea and mountains. The Northern Lights Planetarium in the Science Centre of Northern Norway presents a scientific explanation of the heavenly phenomenon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-humpbacks-and-killer-whales-follow-the-herring-to-northern-troms\">Humpbacks and killer whales follow the herring to Northern Troms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the last few years, about 5 billion herrings have come to the coast of Troms and Vester\u00e5len in the middle of October to spawn. Humpback whales, fin whales and killer whales operate on herring time, and can be seen in the narrow fjords and between the islands to the north of the city. Sometime in January, they head south, and from February onward they are back out in open water. During the short day of the twilight months, you can go on a boat trip to get close to the whales.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"t2-featured-content-layout alignwide alignwide

Troms\u00f8. In 1997, the snow in the city was measured at 240 cm, something which we hope won&#8217;t be repeated this winter. However, the huge volumes of snow make it a perfect place for cross-country skiing, off-piste downhill skiing, as well as dog sledding, snowmobile or snowshoe excursions, and ice fishing. Some people choose to go on day trips, to see the snow-clad winter landscapes. For others, the fun and games start in the evenings, because that&#8217;s the time to see the Northern Lights when they appear in the sky. There is an impressive range of excursions, which you can pre-book online or buy when you get here at the tourist organisation Visit Troms\u00f8. <\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\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\/2019\/11\/001440_Baard-Loeken_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"532x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/001440_Baard-Loeken_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" alt=\"Heavy snow piling up against Verdensteatret on Troms\u00f8 Storgata \u00a9 Baard Loeken\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/001440_Baard-Loeken_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-caption=\"Heavy snow piling up against Verdensteatret on Troms\u00f8 Storgata \u00a9 Baard Loeken\" \/>\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\/11\/001639_Gaute-Bruvik_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"531x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/001639_Gaute-Bruvik_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" alt=\"Kick sled to work on the high street \u00a9 Gaute Bruvik\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/001639_Gaute-Bruvik_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-caption=\"Kick sled to work on the high street \u00a9 Gaute Bruvik\" \/>\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\/11\/002206_Shigeru-Ohki_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"533x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/002206_Shigeru-Ohki_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" alt=\"Snow surrounds Troms\u00f8 cathedral on a Spring day \u00a9 Shigeru Ohki\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/002206_Shigeru-Ohki_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-caption=\"Snow surrounds Troms\u00f8 cathedral on a Spring day \u00a9 Shigeru Ohki\" \/>\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: Heavy snow piling up against Verdensteatret on Troms\u00f8 Storgata \u00a9 Baard Loeken<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Kick sled to work on the high street \u00a9 Gaute Bruvik<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: Snow surrounds Troms\u00f8 cathedral on a Spring day \u00a9 Shigeru Ohki<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-winter-is-dark-and-snowy-but-not-cold\">The winter is dark and snowy, but not cold<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At 350 km (217 miles) north of the Arctic Circle and barely 2,000 kilometres (1,243 miles) from the North Pole itself, you would think that Troms\u00f8 would be cold and unpleasant. But in reality, the average temperature in the deepest depths of winter is only about -4C, and with good footwear, spikes, woollen thermal underwear, hat and gloves, you don&#8217;t feel cold at all. Most activities also include the use of a thermal suit. From Troms\u00f8, there are 10\u201312 flights a day to Oslo, and in the winter, there are also direct flights to Stockholm, Helsinki and London. Hotel capacity has increased immensely over the last few years, so it isn&#8217;t usually difficult to find a hotel room. Winter destinations in Northern Norway, like Bod\u00f8, Narvik, Lofoten and Vester\u00e5len in the south, and Svalbard, Alta, Hammerfest and the North Cape in the north are easy to get to by plane, express boat and bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n<div class=\"t2-featured-content-layout alignwide alignwide wp-block-t2-featured-content-layout\" role=\"list\"><div
