Things to do in Tromso, Northern Norway: The Best Museums
The fjords and mountain ranges of Tromso are simply magical. Here, the northern lights sparkle across the same navy blue sky that's illuminated by the midnight sun. You'll be spellbound by Tromso's enchanting fishing villages, fragrant botanical gardens and crystalline waterfalls. Music is a major part of the Tromso culture, particularly techno and electronic music, which adds some thumping thunder to the city once a year during the annual Insomnia Festival.

It’s free, just wander in. There were 3 really good exhibitions there when we went. Especially enjoyed the superb photos of 1960s Tromso by Knut Stokmo.

Nearly drove past...so look out for the signs. Easy going cafe with some great artwork for sale. Coffee was rich and fresh. The owner told us he did the best waffles in the world. As it turns out he’s right. He also does Air BnB. I’d love to go back and discuss 1970’s rock with the owner, have a drink and just watch the world go by. Highly recommended if you are on your way past.

This is one of my favourite places to go and take visitors to Tromso. There is there an amazing Aurora video (still my favourite even after seeing it about 10 times). I love the hands on science activities that are varied and lots of fun as well as educational and informative. Best place to have fun while learning at the same time for all ages. Although many think it is more for kids I take adults and they love it too. Highly recommend.

I like it. Not too big, not too small. Interesting art and the staff are always helpful and very easy to talk with. They remembered me from my last visit and it was so relaxing talking about art for a couple of minutes. I also got a tip for a future exhibition and that was a big plus:)

Great museum about Roald Amundsen , Fritjof Nansen and others of the great Norwegian explorers with a lot of artefacts and pictures showing the rough life they had then on their expeditions. They were throughly heroes and Daredevils like our times astronauts. It’s a good idea to see the Norwegian film ”Admundsen” before you see the museum.
