What is the best time to visit Tromso? This is probable one of the most asked questions on my KZbin channel, that is why in this video I will talk about the differences between my two visits in December and in March.
Tromso in December: • WINTER IN TROMSØ, NORWAY
Tromso in March: • SPRING IN TROMSØ - MAR...

I went to Tromso March 1-4 this year and saw the most amazing northern lights! The guides said it was the best of the year by far because I guess it's been quite cloudy. it was the final leg of a 2 week long trip around norway, so I already have reason to return to southern norway in the summer and back to Tromso maybe for New Years!

Yes, this year it has not been a great season for the NL yet.. not much activity and bad weather, but happy you saw them! Southern Norway is amazing as well 😍

I plan to visit Tromso in March 2025 to explore Aurora (Northern Lights). I can not stand with too cold weather in December until February. Thank you for your great video.

I went to Tromsø the first week of October 2023. I saw both Autumn and winter in one week. I would recommend going to see the Autumn colours. The Aurora was also visible. Funnily, i was also there in March 2022 and was watching the snowball fight near the reindeer hotdog hut. Will have to check to see if I'm in the background :-)

Thank you for the very informative video. It's definitely on my bucket list. I've been to Iceland three times and loved it. But I would love to see the fjords my dream would be to drive from Bergen to Tromso. But I think the gas prices in the vehicle rental would be pretty expensive. I would love to be able to rent a van and just sleep in the van. Anyways it's on my dreaming list.

We will be in Tromso Feb 4 - Feb 10 in 2025. Hopefully we will see the Northern Lights. We will also be in Longyearbyen Feb 10 - Feb 14, then back to Oslo for 3 days.

Hi there, I need your help making a decision through this question...What does the northern lights look like with the naked eye when you went there on December when you saw a peak intensity (KPI of 10)??? How green are the lights? Would you compare the hue or saturation of the lights through your eyes (not w the camera) the same as what the March northern lights looks like on the camera? I'm asking because I experienced northern lights here in Washington, USA in spring 2024 but through my naked eye the lights only look gray haze w only a slight tint or shade of green but the video looks about the same as your March northern lights @11:12 Thank you in advance!

@mads5000 7 ай бұрын

I like that you mention the moon, but what you said was factually incorrect... We have the same moon faces that the rest of the world even when the sun is under the horizon. But what no one mentions is that you shouldn't not travel to see the northern lights when its a full moon or close to because the light from the moon "washes" out the aurora borealis. It doesn't mean its impossible to see but it have to bee stronger to be visible. So check the moon faces before you book a trip.
