Accomodation in Tromso

Since the very beginnings of Tromso it has attracted visitors both on business and leisure trips, and the city offers accommodation to suit everyone's needs.

In the centre alone there are over 2,000 hotel beds ranging from suites overlooking the mountains to more rustic B&B's. Prices do reflect the fact that you are in Norway, but generally the standard is good and people in Northern Norway are renowned for their hospitality so you will not feel like you are being fleeced. Most of the hotels are within skipping distance of the city centre – well nearly all of them are IN the centre, so you don’t have to worry about getting lost from the bar to the bed on a late January night out.

Places to Stay Around Tromso

Around Tromso there are plenty of smaller, family-run B&Bs, inns and cottages, as well as the so called ‘Rorbuer’ (fisherman’s huts). Many of these places combine accommodation with activities such as fishing, hiking, skiing or horse riding and can be quite the experience.

Sommaroy is a stunning island further out from Tromso. With white sandy beaches, stunning views and a great hotel and conference centre, it is a popular place for tourists and locals alike.

Camping in Tromso

Just outside the city, on the mainland, there is a good campsite. They also have small cottages available for hire if tenting in Arctic conditions doesn’t float your boat. The campsite is located at the foot of the infamous “Tromsdalstinden” mountain, and you feel like you are properly out in the wilderness – which you are. There are frequent local buses connecting the campsite to the city, which takes approx.10minutes. Read more about camping in Tromso here.
