Trip to Tromsø

Tromsø, Norway · 27 Sep – 11 Oct 2023

My first real holiday took me to the far north, to Tromsø, where I got to experience nature and the northern lights. Nature and landscape were what I came for, and it was a wonderful holiday.

White church with a pointed triangular facade in front of an autumn-coloured mountainside, water and a railing in front — Arctic Cathedral

White three-masted sailing ship in the harbour in front of modern buildings

Building with a curved glass roof and a large glass front, road signs in front — Library

Harbour basin under a blue sky, a colourfully painted building on the right, mountains behind

Dark cloud cover over a turquoise sea, low islands and a bright strip of light on the horizon — On the way back from Sommarøy, this beautiful horizon opened up in front of us, and even our guide was amazed.

Bay with light water, red and white houses on the shore between autumn-coloured trees

Broad mountain with a reddish slope above a calm fjord

Flat beach with stones and seaweed, pointed mountains under clouds behind

Bare grey rock peak against a bright sky, yellow autumn leaves at the bottom right

Wooden jetty with posts and ropes leading into the sea under a cloudy sky

Steep rocky island rising from the sea, dark shore rocks in the foreground

Snow-covered mountain whose summit disappears into low clouds

Green bands of northern lights above a dark forest edge

I will definitely come back, because the landscape is overwhelming.
