Best Airbnbs in Tromsø, Norway: Our Top Picks for All Budgets

If you’re traveling to Norway on a budget, or you simply just want a bit of anonymity, renting an Airbnb in Tromso is definitely the way to go!

This Tromso Airbnb guide will have options suitable for all budgets. We think Airbnbs are a fantastic alternative despite there being some fantastic hotels in Tromsø.

Should You Stay at a Tromso Airbnb?

It really depends on how you prefer to travel.  For me, Airbnbs allow you the freedom and independence to do what you want.  In Tromsø, hotels can be hard to come by during the winter months, but you can almost always find an Airbnb.

If you’re not into local food or are on a budget, renting an Airbnb in Tromso will also give you the freedom to head to the grocery store (the cheapest way to eat in Norway) and stock up on ingredients to cook at home.

This can save hundreds of dollars depending on how many people you’re traveling with!

In addition, Norwegians speak impeccable English so checking in should be nothing to be concerned about if you think language barriers could pose an issue.

Best Area of Tromso to Stay In

The best area of the city to stay in is near the center.  Tromso is not a very large place, but it is somewhat spread out and if you end up across the fjord from the city center, you will have to walk a bit or take a public bus to head to the main part of the city.

If you are planning to take any Tromso tours while visiting, you will need to also get to the meeting points for them, which tend to be at hotels in the city center.
