Located 350 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle, Tromsø is the capital of the Arctic, surrounded by beautiful fjords and mountains.
Tromsø was founded in 1794. In the 1850s, Tromsø became the centre for trapping in the Arctic region. In the early 1900s, it was the starting point for expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic regions, hence its nickname – “Gateway to the Arctic”.
