Norway can be an expensive holiday destination, and a common misconception is that you HAVE TO spend a lot of money to enjoy your trip. Do you know what? That is completely wrong! We are going to show you a variety of activities you can experience for free (or close to free) in the city of Troms\u00f8 \u2013 the Paris of the North.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Sherpa-stairs<\/h2>\n

\"skog<\/h2>\n

This is a hike starting in Tromsdalen, on the mainland part of Troms\u00f8 (a quick 20-minute walk from here at Troms\u00f8 Lodge & Camping!). The stairs were fully built by the Sherpa people of Nepal in 2017 and provides an amazing hike up towards Troms\u00f8 Cable Car (Fjellheisen) and Fl\u00f8ya. At the beginning of the hike you\u2019re surrounded by birch trees until you reach the tree line. From there and onwards you get a view covering the whole island of Troms\u00f8, and at the top of the mountain you\u2019ll see genuine north-Norwegian nature as far as the eye can reach! Should the Sherpa trip not be enough, there\u2019s possible to walk onwards to the top of the Fl\u00f8ya mountain after you\u2019ve reached Fjellheisen and the nearby caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Fjellturer<\/h2>\n

Mountain Hiking<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s also a lot of other free hikes in Troms\u00f8. The Norwegian Trekking Association has markings along most of Troms\u00f8\u2019s hikes, and the easiest paths can be walked without much effort. R\u00f8dtind (470 MASL), Brosmetinden (525 MASL) and Nattm\u00e5lsfjellet (297 MASL) are some of the mountains that have easy-to-follow hikes for everyone.<\/p>\n

It is important to remember that the mountains in Troms\u00f8 are covered in snow for a long time, and you have to be cautious about avalanches. Check out this link provided by Varsom for a full overview of the safe and unsafe paths along the year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Telegrafbukta<\/h2>\n

A short walk away from Troms\u00f8 city center lies the famous park Telegrafbukta. Here you\u2019ll find beaches, a playground, fire pits and an elongated dock overlooking the ocean. This is the perfect place to enjoy a day outside with friends and family for grilling, swimming or a small picnic. Are you tough enough to swim in the ocean? The dock is perfectly placed if you want to swan dive into the chilly, northern sea water!<\/p>\n

The botanical garden<\/h2>\n

Right next to the university of Troms\u00f8 you can find a beautiful garden with arctic plants from all around the world. The flowering season start in the beginning of May and lasts until the snow falls in October. The garden is not fenced in and is free for all visitors 24 hours a day. In the middle of the garden lies a cozy caf\u00e9 that sells Norwegian waffles and pies \u2013 if you don\u2019t mind spending a little money during your visit.<\/p>\n

Museums and galleries<\/h2>\n

The city center of Troms\u00f8 is abound with museums and galleries, and a lot of them are free! Galleri NORD, Galleri Brevik and Krane Galleri are three of the most popular ones and contains exhibitions from a lot of local artists. Perspektivet Museum, where you can learn about the history of Troms\u00f8, is the only museum with a free entry. On the other hand, a combo ticket for both Troms\u00f8 Museum and Polarmuseet costs only 80 NOK (roughly 9 dollars or 9 Euros)!<\/p>\n

City walk\"troms\u00f8<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s a lot to explore along the streets of Troms\u00f8. The city is full of historical buildings and landmarks. Troms\u00f8 Municipality has even made an overview of all the old buildings in the city center<\/a>! If architecture is more your forte, there\u2019s a lot of cool buildings to look at, for example Kystens Hus, the library and Polarmuseet. In addition to this, the city has a lot of hidden treasures scattered around. Can you find the 371 kg stone Eidis Hansen carried from the shoreline 200 years ago, allegedly because he was refused to buy booze from one of the local grocers?<\/p>\n

Winter activities<\/h2>\n

The summer isn\u2019t the only time when you can enjoy freebies in Troms\u00f8. Sledding and playing in the snow is fun for kids and adults alike, and the park Charlottenlund at Troms\u00f8ya is open and free for all to visit. Here you\u2019ll find long sledding hills, ice skating-rigs and ski runs to enjoy \u2013 as long as the weather allows you to. There\u2019s a lot of nice cross-country ski runs to use in the winter, and one of the nicer ones starts right outside of us! Ski- and winter equipment can be rented for free at Turbo in the library building in town, so you have no excuses for not playing in the snow next winter!<\/p>\n

Your Troms\u00f8-cation does not have to be expensive. You can have a cozy time under the midnight sun in Telegrafbukta in the summer time, or watch the northern lights after hiking up Fl\u00f8ya via the Sherpa stairs in the winter. And the best part? Both experiences are completely free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
