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.
Join the SalsaNor Rueda Congress in September and check it all out!
