How to get there.
Fly directly to Tromsø Airport (TOS): From Oslo, Bergen, or international hubs (especially in winter).
Flights are frequent and take about 2 hours from Oslo.
From Oslo: Around 1,700 km – a scenic drive through central and northern Norway. Plan for several days.
From Lofoten or Northern regions: Drive via the E6 or E8 highways.
Car rental is great for exploring nearby fjords, mountains, and northern lights spots. Roads are well-maintained but can be icy in winter.
Tromsø is a perfect base for Arctic adventures year-round!
