🇳🇴 Everything You Wanted to Know About Seeing the Northern Lights: Tromso, Norway

I created a 7 day itinerary for a chilly fun filled week in Tromsø Norway.
 I tried my best to find my way through this city as cheap as possible while splurging on local guided tours.
If you have done any research on Norway you must be thinking how could someone make this a cheaper affordable trip…. I found a way!
The use of tours substitutes my lack of having a vehicle while visiting this city. This can help those who do not feel comfortable driving in the winter conditions of the artic and saving money on a rental car. 
✨ I will recommend flight paths for the cheapest routes out of the United States .
✨I will recommend restaurants, museums, bus routes, tours I personally booked and experienced, winter gear I wore
✨And give you my honest opinion on the “must see and dos” of Tromso Norway.
✨This guide is created to accommodate to solo travelers and/or small groups!

The Polar Museum

To learn more about life in the arctic circle, head to the Polar Museum in the centre of town. The museum's exhibitions cover everything from local culture and history to polar expeditions and Sámi art. Anything from the 17th century onwards is displayed and discussed in the museum.

The Polar Museum is part of the Arctic University Museum of Norway. Your best option for tickets is to get a combined ticket for the entire Arctic University Museum of Norway, which includes its own exhibitions, the Polar Museums, the Botanical Gardens, and the MS Polstjerna (a traditional seal-hunting boat).

If you wish to explore the Arctic, immerse yourself in the Polar Museum which showcases polar expeditions, research tools used by explorers, and first encounters with polar bears. 

Additionally, indulge in the cultural history of the Arctic archipelago, Svalbard, which hosts the northernmost permanent settlement on Earth, located between mainland Norway and the North Pole.

This museum is dedicated to all things Arctic exploration. As the Gateway to the Arctic, many famous expeditions started in Tromsø.
