Tromsø

Tromsø (Northern Sámi: Romsa, Kven and Finnish: Tromssa) is a city of around 78,000 people (2023) in the very northernmost part of Norway. It is almost 350 km north of the Arctic Circle and is one of the best places to view the spectacular Northern Lights in winter. Tromsø is a surprise to most visitors: Here you find art, history, sophistication, good food and infamous nightlife in a bustling, tiny city. All of it, though, is surrounded by spectacular scenery that is visible from everywhere in town.

4 places match

  1. Drink Not mapped

    Kaffebønna

    It serves no alcohol, but serves up smart coffee, Italian ice cream, pain au chocolat and plenty of sandwiches. Minimalist décor and cool staff (occasionally too cool).

    Mon–Fri 08:00–18:00, Sat 09:00–18:00, Sun 11:00–18:00

  2. Drink Not mapped

    Skansen Kafé

    Housed in the annex of the oldest house in town. In summer, they serve fantastic shells and other lunch specials, along with good wine and coffee. In winter, they close, though.

    Mon–Wed 11:00–18:00, Thu 11:00–22:00, Fri 11:00–02:00, Sat 12:00–02:00, Sun 12:00–18:00

  3. Drink Not mapped

    Skarven

    Another long-timer. Serves good food, including loads of fish (an welcome respite from the feta cheese and olive fare of the other cafés), and loads of beer way into the night in a 1920s margarine factory. The crowd is grown-up and well-heeled, but just as loud as the rest.

    Daily from 11:00

  4. Drink Not mapped

    Sånn

    at the upper end of the Main Square is another example of the Tromsø receipt: A good lunch menu (with realatively good prices), coffee specialities and a cool bar in the evening.

    Mon–Thu 11:00–24:00, Fri 11:00–01:00, Sat 12:00–01:00
