The city is surrounded by the rugged beauty of the Kvaløya island, home to glaciers, fjords, mountains and an abundance of wildlife. The island is also a perfect place for outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, and skiing.
One of the main attractions in Kvaløya is the Northern Lights, a natural phenomenon that can be observed during the winter months, it is a sight that will take your breath away. The island is also home to several sea eagles, reindeer and whales, and the best way to spot them is by taking a boat tour or a sea safari.

The city boasts a rich cultural heritage, with several museums, galleries and churches, as well as a vibrant nightlife. The Arctic Cathedral, a modern architectural masterpiece, and the Arctic-Alpine Botanical Garden are also must-see sights.
The Northern Norway is a place of contrasts, during the summer the sun never sets and during the winter the darkness is only interrupted by the Northern Lights.
