Tromsø is an Arctic city well above the Arctic Circle, known as Norway's northern lights capital. There is no direct flight from Istanbul; you typically fly to Oslo with Turkish Airlines or Pegasus, then connect onward to Tromsø on a SAS or Norwegian domestic flight. The full journey runs around 7 hours or more including the layover. Aurora hunting from September to March and the never-setting midnight sun in summer are the city's headline draws.
