The 10 Best Hidden Gems Things to do in Troms, Northern Norway

June 30, 2021 Concepcion Newsome

From its snow-capped mountains to its mighty fjords, from grand valleys to tranquil lakes and lovely archipelagos, the county of Troms is bursting with natural wonders. To cap it off, it also plays host to the northern lights. Tromso, the capital, is the gateway to the region's rugged beauty, but with 65,000 people it's also a surprisingly rich city culturally, with many interesting museums and sites (including the world's northernmost botanical garden) and even a pulsing nightlife.

Went by bus to Lyngen and was surprise that the boat ferry was free, luckily that day got a few hours of cream sky, and the pictures although portray the landscape the real view is better

Arctic Experience Tromso

I go further, to bring you closer! I keep it small, friendly and personal; My name is Dan, and I`m a native Norwegian, born and raised in Arctic Norway. I grew up under the Northern lights, so I know the nature up here, the folklore, the culture and the best places to find the lights. I am also a professional photographer, and if your camera is up to the challenge of taking pictures of the Aurora, I will show you how to set it up for doing just that. I will also take pictures and e-mail you after the tour, free of charge of course. My dedication creates your memories, so I will go as long as it takes and do whatever it takes to give you the best possibility to see the lights :) All the best, Dan the Aurora Man :)

A combination of a ribboat journey with Lyngen Adventure on the wonderful Lyngenfjord and a lunch and a tour inside the Aurora Spirit Bivrost gives the day the extra touch! When visiting the Lyngen municipality you should find time for this marvellous combination and the possibility to visit this distillery
