What are the pros and cons of living in Tromso?

Expats, digital nomads and retirees living in Tromso responded:

"Expats and digital nomads living in Tromso, often like the stunning natural beauty of the city, which includes picturesque landscapes, the Northern Lights, and the Midnight Sun. They also appreciate the friendly and welcoming locals, the high standard of living, and the excellent healthcare and education systems. The city's safety and cleanliness are also highly valued, as well as the numerous outdoor activities available, such as hiking, skiing, and fishing. On the other hand, expats and digital nomads may dislike the high cost of living in Tromso, as Norway is known for being an expensive country. The cold and dark winters can be challenging, with limited daylight hours and harsh weather conditions. Additionally, the language barrier can be an issue for some, as learning Norwegian can be difficult, although most locals speak English. Finally, the remote location of Tromso may make it difficult for expats and digital nomads to travel frequently or maintain close connections with friends and family back home," explained one expat in Tromso.
