Creator's Key Takeaways

we had a wonderful trip exploring Norway (staying at Oslo and Tromso).

tromo is a wonderful destination a lovely city in the far north of Norway with almost guaranteed snow over the winter.

we were just a little bit unlucky with the weather that night.

this was probably the best thing we did in tromo so we'd really recommend braving the weather and getting out here.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Check alcohol sale times in Norway to avoid missing cutoffs.
✓Book tours early, especially for Northern Lights and whale watching.
✓Bring layers, thermal wear, and hand warmers for cold weather.
✓Be prepared for luggage storage costs and delays due to snow.
