Travelling to Tromsø
The easiest way to get to Tromsø is by plane. From the UK there are good connections from all London Airports with Norwegian, SAS and other airlines. Norwegian may have some direct flights from Stansted, but typically only on certain week days. SAS flies via Oslo but has good connections that make the flight fairly smooth.
From other countires in Europe there are also good connections, either through Oslo, Bergen or through Copenhagen/Stockholm or Frankfurt.
Where to stay
Tromsø has a large number of options when it comes to accommodation. Hotels are plentiful, but a number of them may be expensive due to the tourist season. We recommend booking your accomodation in due course prior to your stay.
The Arctic Weather
The start of November is considered a fall/winter period in the Arctic, and there is hardly any sun during daytime. The average temperatures are between 1 to -8 degrees Celsius. The first snowfall of the season happens typically in October, but the weather is very shifty, so you may expect both snow and rain.
