Our Complete Itinerary Arctic Circle Itinerary – Tromsø, Norway
When I discovered Tromso earlier this year, I immediately felt a pull to this destination. Known as the Gateway to the Arctic, Tromso is located in the northern part of Norway and situated 350 km north of the Arctic Circle. This winter wonderland features numerous activities to enjoy the arctic but it is most known for the high concentration of Northern Lights sightings. Due to the magnetic pull of the earth, Tromso is located where the northern magnetic pole ends, which means all that solar flare activity ends up dumping in and around Tromso so the probability of Aurora activity is higher than other destinations in the world. And Tromso is very accessible which has made it a top winter tourist destination – and luckily, Tromso is well equipped to serve that purpose. 2024 is predicted to be an epic year for Northern Lights!
