Your itinerary - Easy to personalizeincluded
Day 1
Most flights arrive in Tromsø in the evening, which is paradoxically the best news for you - you can see your first Northern Lights from the airplane window, so don't forget to look! You can use your mobile phone, which is more sensitive than the human eye, so I recommend trying it even if it may seem that you can't see anything yet. However, if you land earlier, take the time to wander through the colorful city center, breathe in the frosty harbor air, and soak up the atmosphere of the "Paris of the North." After picking up the car, there are two options: either head straight out on your first Aurora hunt based on the current forecast and clear sky, or take your time to buy supplies and settle into a cozy Nordic home.
Parking: Download the EasyPark app, and wherever you park, be sure to check if parking is paid - it is paid in most places in the city.
Day 2
Explore Tromsø and its surroundings. Take a drive or walk to the iconic viewpoint overlooking Tromsø, see the Arctic Cathedral, visit the ice bar, and if you're interested, you can visit the city center and maybe some souvenir shops.
Day 3
Choose today's itinerary based on the time of year you're visiting Tromsø. If you're here from roughly the beginning of November to the end of January, definitely take the chance to go on an unforgettable whale watching cruise. It's during this time that orcas, humpback whales, fin whales, and other species head to the waters north of Tromsø to feed. Of course, spotting wildlife can never be guaranteed, but the cruise through the Arctic fjords itself is an extraordinary experience. So, I 100% recommend it.
If you're traveling outside the main whale season, dedicate today to a trip to the dramatic island of Senja. Head to the Brensholmen ferry terminal early in the morning and take the ferry over to Botnhamn. On the island, you'll find fishing villages, white sandy beaches, sharp mountain peaks, and some of the most beautiful scenic roads in Northern Norway. Adjust your plans according to the weather, road conditions, and available daylight.
