What makes a good sunset in Tromsø?
Tromsø is well above the Arctic Circle at 69.6°N, which creates extreme seasonal light. In late autumn and winter, brief sunsets paint the fjords and snow-covered peaks in deep amber before dark falls fast. The Tromsø Bridge and Storsteinen viewpoint above the city are the go-to vantage points. If you're here in winter, aurora is the bigger draw: clear skies that score well for sunset will often also produce aurora after dark. In summer, the midnight sun means no actual sunset for weeks.
What time is sunset in Tromsø tonight?
Tromsø has the most extreme seasonal variation in this region: the sun stays up continuously for about 10 weeks in summer, and polar night (no sun at all) runs from late November to late January. On days when sunset does occur, it can range from just a few hours of low light in deep winter to long golden evenings in shoulder season. Tonight's time is shown in the score card above.
