( well we had 3 jh light a day we rest we had twice dinner out in Tromso and in Skogfiords we had super company for chasing the first night the l nordic lights called Wandering Owl ..all was magic .

Tromso is a lovely town, well worth a visit. There are great dining options, museums, art galleries, boat trips and more. I particularly enjoyed a trip on the Hermes II, a beautiful old wooden boat which took us all the way around the island of Tromsoya. Also good was the Fjellheisen cable car up Storsteinen mountain with dinner in the Fjellstua restaurant with its spectacular views. Summer is the time to see the midnight sun, winter is the time to see the Northern Lights.

The Håkøya Lodge has everything one needs for a cosy, quiet holiday in Tromsø. In the well-equipped kitchen one can make meals to be eaten in front of the gas fireplace, and it's in a good location to get to the town or go on day trips.

I loved the 24-hours of daylight and all of the mountains in the background. It rained most of the days that I was there so I didn't get to explore it as much as I would have liked to. It was nice and cool there in July, which might not appeal to all travelers.

Tromso has various attractions. The midnight sun experience is unique. The world's northern most cathedrals are in Tromso. The Polar Museum was quite nice. The cable car ride and hiking atop the mountain were fantastic. The cruises from the harbour are worth it. We especially liked the cruises on 'Hermes II' and the midnight sun cruise on 'White Hawk'. The unique Arctic-Alpine Botanic Garden, the northern most botanic garden in the world, is beautiful and should not be missed. Tang's Restaurant in the heart of the town is an excellent restaurant for Chinese/Asian cuisine.

on our short stay we enjoyed very much walking through the city and along the waterfront, admiring the buildings both new and old and the shop windows with goods specific for this region (wonderful woolen sweaters !!!). as we arrived on Saturday evening we found city very quiet, with only few cars on the streets. there were some clouds so we did not see the midnight sun, but even so, having natural light late at night was a great feeling.
