Solo Travel in Tromso, Tromso, Norway
I'm still in Norway! This week I've taken the whole week off and am exploring Tromso in the Arctic Circle. The thought of reindeer sledding and learning more about the Sami culture, as well as being a Bond girl on a snow mobile, whilst visiting ice domes, just makes me want to burst with excitement. And I didn't even mention seeing the Northern Lights too!
I don't have much left on my travel wish list but these experiences are at the very top! And this Norwegian city seems the perfect place to indulge in my inner child (just in time for my birthday).

So, if you want to experience these too plus a fjord cruise and whale watching, then this Tromso guide will help. Just read the full article or click the relevant section for your Tromso holidays.

It is also a known spot for whale watching with humpback whales and killer whales within its waters which you can see from October to mid-February.
