Location: Tromsų Municipality, Norway.
Text by Tromso County Council.

 
As far back as a century ago, visitors were surprised to find culture, intellectual life and the current fashions so far north, and the city derived the name Paris of the North. That reputation lives on today. Visitors to Tromso are charmed by the city's patriotic, loud and obliging residents, by a historical, compact and characteristic city centre, by a live and active cultural life all year round, by the Northern Lights, Polar Nights, Midnight Sun, by the exciting attractions, good possibilities for excursions and widely varying weather.

Tromso is the largest city in the Nordic countries north of the Arctic Circle and is home to the world's northernmost university, brewery and cathedral. The city lives on education, research, administration, fishing exports and satellite technology. The centre of the north has 62,000 residents and the Municipality of Tromso covers an area of 2558 km².
