What people say

"The best time to visit Tromsø in winter is around February 6th, which marks the Sámi National Day and falls within the celebrations of Sámi Week. The city centre of Tromsø will be full of activities that celebrate the Sámi culture and its traditions. You might hear the 'joik', the traditional singing style of Sámi people. Although the Sámi Week is a popularised event, it is a good opportunity to learn about Sámi culture and history. It's hard to find other authentic experiences, as many tours involving Sámi are mostly aimed at making money from tourists. Those can involve groups of up to 50 people, so you're unlikely to really connect with locals. A better way to meet Sámi would be to try and find a homestay with people from the region, instead of funding large tour operators that run the exact same, orchestrated experience every day."
