This is a cosmopolitan city that, because of its thriving nightlife and reputation for fun, has earned itself the nickname Little Paris. It is the kind of place where tourists and locals alike stay up and socialize all night, then somehow manage to work and explore the town during the daytime hours. Like most all of Norway, Tromso is as picturesque as can be. It is famous for its snow-capped cliffs and is ground zero for many polar expeditions that leave from the city. However, the climate here is not harsh in the least. The city maintains a nice climate throughout most of the year and never feels as cold as it may look. During summer months, daylight lasts well into the late evening, giving people there even more reason to stay up late and enjoy their surroundings.

Tromso is a busy port of call where tourists and traders come in and out constantly. It is a fishing town, with its main exports being shrimp and herring. As you might imagine, this makes for some spectacularly succulent dining possibilities. The streets are always filled with workers and tourists, and everywhere you look there is something new that you have yet to taste, hear, smell, see, or touch. This city appeals to the senses in every way imaginable. With glorious scenery, delicious cuisine, friendly locals, and high quality Norwegian goods, you will be hard pressed to experience boredom here.
