It’s -9 degrees, just past midnight, and I’m shivering despite wearing five layers underneath my coat. I’ll admit this might not sound like everyone’s idea of a dream holiday, but the word I’d use to describe Tromsø – the city famously known as the “Gateway to the Arctic” – is extraordinary.
Plus, with the 2025/2026 season allegedly the best time to see the Northern Lights in 11 years, there might be no better place to fly to soak up some winter wonder.
