How do I meet people in Tromso?
When we asked people living in Tromso about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded:
"I haven't been able to find an organization, club, etc.There are no expat clubs to welcome you or anything of that sort. My child goes to an International school so I have met parents (from other countries) who have become good friends. Norwegians are not easy to befriend if you don't know them through someone else. and from what I have heard northern Norwegians are not as welcoming as southern, so we have that up hill battle as well. Its been really hard to find anything if you don't speak Norwegian," remarked one foreigner who made the move to Tromso.
"Tromso is a great place to meet people with its vibrant culture, lively nightlife, and welcoming locals. There are plenty of opportunities to meet people within the city, such as attending events hosted by the Tromso Student Union, or by joining one of the city’s many clubs or cultural organizations. You can also meet people by taking advantage of the city’s great outdoor activities, attending a language exchange, or simply by striking up conversations with the people you meet in cafes, restaurants, and bars," explained one person living in Tromso, Norway.
