Favorite Thing: The county of Troms is the second northernmost county of Norway - with the county of Finnmark to the northeast, Nordland to the south, and bordering Sweden and Finland to the east. The entire county is to the north of the Arctic Circle. Tromsø is the administrative centre of Troms county, and also the biggest town. The small town of Harstad is the commercial centre of the southern part of the county.

The county covers an area of almost 26000 square km (not *that* much smaller than Belgium) - but has a population of only 150 000, which means that we do have a lot of space here, and excellent opportunities to enjoy the amazing nature you'll find in Troms... ;o)
