Did you know that Tromsø is home to quite a few of the world’s northernmost places and attractions? 👀

Beyond the northern lights and mountain views, the city proudly holds a surprising number of “world’s northernmost” titles — from everyday stops to cultural institutions. Here are a few fun ones:

• the world’s northernmost university — UiT The Arctic University of Norway
• the world’s northernmost botanical garden
• the world’s northernmost planetarium at Nordnorsk Vitensenter
• the world’s northernmost professional football club — Tromsø IL
• the world’s northernmost aquarium — Polaria
• and yes… even the world’s northernmost McDonald’s and Burger King (the one located near the airport) 🍔

You’ll also find the world’s northernmost glass-blowing studio, symphony orchestra, tango club, escape room, stand-up club, regional theatre… and plenty more hidden around the city. So while you’re here for the congress, you’re not just visiting another destination — you’re spending a few days in one of the world’s most uniquely located small cities. ✨

Psst… Tromsø is also the northernmost city in the world with more than 50,000 residents.
