Arriving at Tromsø Airport (TOS)
Tromsø Airport is just a 10–15 minute ride from the centre. The Flybussen airport bus and taxis run into town, and many tour companies offer hotel pickups from the centre.
Data tip: turn on AloOui as you land so you can confirm tonight's Northern Lights tour pickup before you leave the airport.
Northern Lights season
From roughly September to April, Tromsø is one of the best places in the world to see the aurora borealis. Tours chase clear skies inland and out to the fjords, and from late November to mid-January the city has the polar night, when the sun doesn't rise.
Data tip: aurora forecast apps and live cloud maps help you decide where to go. Cold weather drains phone batteries fast, so bring a power bank and keep your phone in an inside pocket.
Where you'll use your data in Tromsø
- The Arctic Cathedral: the striking triangular church across the bridge from the centre
- Fjellheisen cable car: up to Storsteinen for views over the city and the islands
- Polaria and the Polar Museum: Arctic wildlife and the history of polar exploration
- Storgata: the main street of shops, cafés and Arctic restaurants
Midnight sun, whales and dog sledding
From mid-May to late July, the midnight sun means daylight around the clock. In winter, popular trips include dog sledding, reindeer sledding with Sámi guides and whale watching in the northern fjords.
Data tip: remote tour areas can have limited coverage, so save your booking details and meeting point offline before you set off.

Tromsø eSIM FAQs
Does my eSIM work as soon as I land in Tromsø?
Yes. Turn it on when you land and you connect to Telia Norge or ICE straight away.
Will it work on a Northern Lights tour?
Yes, near towns and main roads. Some remote viewing spots have weak signal, so save your tour details offline.
Which plan is best for a winter week in Tromsø?
Unlimited Essential for 7 days ($20.83) covers maps, forecasts and photos. Choose Plus or Premium if you'll upload lots of aurora video.
How do I keep my phone working in the Arctic cold?
Keep it in an inside pocket, bring a power bank and switch on low-power mode on long tours.
Does it include a Norwegian phone number?
No. Your eSIM is data-only, so you call and message through WhatsApp, FaceTime and other apps.
