Two hundred miles inside the Arctic Circle, Tromsø is a lively university city of wooden houses, museums and a famous nightlife, set on an island between mountains and sea. It's the prime base for chasing the aurora in winter and the midnight sun in summer, with a cable car and an Arctic cathedral minutes from downtown.
