Shopping

Eide Handel is known for its local produce, meat, fish and other delicacies. It's more pricy than a normal grocery store, but the selection is far better. We recommend a visit!

Sightseeing

We'd recommend that you take the cable car from Tromsdalen to Storsteinen. It's called "Fjellheisen" in Norwegian, directly translated to Mountain Cable Car. It gives you an stunning overview of Tromsø Island and Kvaløya. It takes only 4 minutes by cable car. If you want to walk to the top, that's also an alternative. It's about a 400m vertical meters hike to the top.

Another location we can recommend is "Sommarøya" (The summer island), which is a 50 minute drive from the house. Sommarøya is an old fishing village and known for its beautiful scenery. Hopefully you might catch some Northern Lights if the sky is clear.

Telegrafbukta is a beautiful place to visit all year around. In winter it's a spot where you might be able to catch the northern lights and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains around Tromsø.

Emmas Drømmekjøkken is probably the most famous restaurant in Tromsø. They serve quality local food. It's quite pricy, but worth a visit! On the first floor, they are open for lunch. This is significantly cheaper and definitely worth a visit. We recommend the local "Fiskegrateng".

Tromsø Wilderness Center do guided trips such as dog sledding, reindeer sledding, whale safari (if correct season) and northern lights chasing. They also serve great local food. Beware, you probably need to book in advance, as it's quite popular.
