Is Tromso Expensive? The Cost of a Weekend in Tromso, Norway

Here’s a full breakdown of the cost of a weekend in Tromso to answer the question, is Tromso expensive? I visited for 3 days and this is what I spent in Tromso.

The potential cost of a weekend in Tromso is what puts most people off visiting this Northern Lights hotspot in Norway. So I went, and wrote down all my spends to give you the full Tromso expenditure experience. I actually found it a lot cheaper than Oslo, and am happy to say that I felt that every NOK I spent was worth it.

Tromso is one of the best places to see the Northern Lights in Norway. 

We were kind of on a budget as in we didn’t want to go crazy, but we didn’t want to miss out either.

We arrived at about 11pm on a Thursday night and left on Sunday at 7pm, so as good as three full days. This is my full Tromso price breakdown.

We decided to buy some food for breakfast in the supermarket to keep our Tromso costs down. Definitely recommend. I was in Tromso with my brother so we were able to split the costs.

Supermarket food – eggs, peppers, broccoli, bread, smoked salmon, lettuce, herring, yogurt, bananas, apples, avocado, bacon – enough for three huge breakfasts, snacks and a dinner for two.
