When to See the Midnight Sun In & Around Tromsø
Between May 20 and July 25, the sun doesn’t set at all — surreal and amazing.

Tromsø, Norway
What to expect:
Golden hour light for hours (photographer’s dream)
Long, calm days — great for hiking, kayaking, or road trips
Locals are more social, bars stay open later
Sleep can be hard — bring an eye mask!
If you’re visiting in late May or early August, you’ll still get near-midnight sun vibes without the extremes.
