Tromsø, Norway’s gateway to the Arctic, offers a magical winter experience from November to February. By day, visit the Arctic Cathedral, a striking modern church with a unique design inspired by the Arctic landscape. Explore the Polar Museum to learn about the region's rich history of Arctic exploration. Take a scenic cable car ride up to Mount Storsteinen for panoramic views of Tromsø and the surrounding fjords before getting excited about hunting for the ethereal aurora borealis by night. For the more adventurous, the Lyngen Alps offer secluded viewing spots away from the city lights, while local guides know the best photography locations. Or why not combine your northern lights chase with a snowmobile expedition to remote fishing villages, where you can learn about indigenous Sami culture and traditional Arctic living.

Traveler’s Tip: The Fjellheisen cable car offers unparalleled views of Tromsø’s cityscape under the polar night sky. For added comfort, book a glass igloo stay at Camp Tamok to enjoy the auroras without braving the chill.
