Tromsø
Cost of living, housing, transport and neighborhoods in Tromsø.
City Overview
Tromsø is the gateway to the Arctic — a city of northern lights and midnight sun, a center of Arctic research (the Arctic University, the Arctic Council), fishing and tourism. The "gateway to the Arctic" makes it a hub for polar expeditions and climate research, with polar night in winter and the midnight sun in summer. Small but international and culturally rich, very safe — the academic, fishing and polar-tourism center of northern Norway.
