Lovely locals
The people of Tromso are lovely and welcoming, greeting you on the street and responding to your poor attempts at speaking Norweigan with a smile and response in perfect English.

Con
Lots of hills and uneven roads
While the main part of town is down at sea-level, the rest of the town builds up behind it on some quite steep hills and many unsealed/uneven roads. This can be slightly treacherous in winter so best to have shoes with substantial grip and don't take a wheeled suitcase if you're staying out of town and up a hill - it will be quite a workout!

Plenty to do besides the Northern Lights
While the city is a great place to see the lights, it also has plenty more to offer so you can really pack your trip full of fun excursions. You can see filming locations of Game Of Thrones, go to the geothermal spa, or check out the Phallological Museum.

Great place for the winter adventurer
If you enjoy outdoor winter activities, Nunavik has plenty to offer. There isn't much in the way of guided tours, so you have to be willing to do some independent adventures. There is plenty of fishing and hiking, lots of chances to get out on the water, and plenty of wildlife to see. You can get a feel for the activities in Nunavik here.

Con
Very little tourism infrastructure
There are very few tours/packages available and limited accommodations, so you have to be willing to really plan out your trip and look after everything yourself.
