So incredibly beautiful 😍 It was perfect weather so i had the pleasure to see northern lights both nights I was there! Public transport is also pretty good for such a small city :) Be prepared to spend some money tho. Tromsø is no cheap place...

I stayed 4 days in Tromso with my mom. Everything was supper expensive , but nice and clean. The scenery is beaitiful. We went to see the seals at the oceanarium and we did a husky ride and raindeer feeding. All very nice experiences.
Posted: September 6, 2024Tromso is very safe! However tours can be overbooked very quickly so please plan your trip and book in advanced! Food and accoms are expensive, highly recommend to cook. Do wear more layers too, especially if you are chasing the northern lights :) All the best and have fun there!
Posted: March 12, 2024Experienced: February, 2024Best place in Scandinavia to visit especially in the winter. Fjords, mountains, city, chasing Aurora Borealis or the Northern Lights are just some of the tourist attractions one should not miss. And the best of all — locals are friendly and generous people.

Safe city to walk around, and you will find helpful people. The northen part of Norway people are more helpful and meeting. When it comes to Tromsø it has a bit of tourists during the winter - wich some people may not be a big fan of (government is not doing enough). But you are safe as a single woman here.
Posted: July 9, 2025tromsø is a very safe city for everyone. you can walk alone as a woman without having to fear an attack, also the inhabitants are really friendly and welcoming. there are also a lot of tourists and erasmus students

I feel safe walking home alone at night and the snow on the pathways is literally the only thing that can make you insecure because it’s slippery sometimes. The bus is the only public transport here but it runs quite regularly, also at night.

I have never felt unsafe walking around in Tromsø — no matter the time of the day or the area. It cannot be compared to other bigger cities I have visited outside Norway. People are extremely considerate and I haven’t experienced anything threatening from others. The biggest safety issue is the weather and geo hazards if you’re seeking to go hiking or skiing.
Posted: January 1, 2025Very safe, not dangerous at all, you don't have to worry, just enjoy the city, it's safe. You can be anywhere, at any time. All alone - no one will touch you unless you want that. Of course some drunk people in the club might be a bit much, but just tell them you don't like it and they will go away.
