Telegrafbukta

We went there several time, during the day but also during the night. Such a beautiful place, with plenty options to have a picnic and breath pure air from the ocean. We had the chance to observe amazing northern light at night directly from this place around 21h the Wednesday 1st of October. With the reflection on the water as you can see in the photos I shared. I also recorded some handpan videos there, I highly recommend to visit it if you have the time.

Beautiful location, plenty of space to sit down and enjoy the view. Great location to see the northern light although the busses ends at midnight. There parking lot nearby and washroom. Bit colder then other areas because of the wind so make sure you bring extra clothes with you.

You don’t need to join an expensive tour — you can see amazing northern lights right here! I’m a budget backpacker traveling around the world, and I researched several aurora spots in Tromsø to find places I could reach on my own. Among all the spots I visited, this was the easiest to access, had the least light pollution, and offered the clearest view. From around 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM, the aurora danced across the night sky — unbelievably large, bright, and beautiful. You can even see green, white, and pink colors with the naked eye. There are metal barrels placed here and there where you can make a bonfire. It gets really cold at night, so bringing a lighter might be helpful. One night I went when it was very windy by the seaside — sand blew into my eyes and it hurt, so be careful on windy days! I’m sure aurora tours are amazing too, but if the sky is clear, you can have an incredible experience right here for free. I’ll be sharing the experience on YouTube and social media, so feel free to check it out if you’re curious! 🌌 @asumikumano

A beautiful location particularly with snow around. Lovely and quiet with free parking! You can take a walk along the shoreline.

This is a must do! We went later in the day to chase northern lights. Felt easy enough to navigate and get to (we rode the buses using the Svipper app). East afternoon trip away from the city centre . Right near the Tromsø museum if that's on your list (it wasn't for us but we noted it was close. We probably would've visited the cafe there if it was open when we went). Unfortunately it was a cloudy evening when we made it over there - so no northern lights viewing or good visibility across the coast. But, we still loved walking the trails and getting an opportunity to be up close with the water. Can be a bit intimidating if you aren't use to navigating snowy landscapes - would recommend end having a light source. We used our phone flash lights and it was fine. I imagine this would be beautiful on a spring/summer trip.

Great place to see Aurora and very close to Tromso center , just take bus 33 from any stop in the city and go off at Telegrafbukta and follow the directions to the viewpoint

Amazing even during the summer time. I've tried to go in the water but I'm not brave enough to swim.. it's cold but really clear and amazing

Simply stunning views and colder than cold! Wrap up warm as the wind is stronger here than in town. The views are stunning! Lots of seating, so I bet it's amazing in summer to sit here. It was extremely slippy underfoot in January, so make sure you wear grips. There are public toilets that are free and extremely clean. Best outdoor public toilet I've ever used!! There is a bus stop back to town very close by. Would love to come here to view the northern lights. Next time, maybe 😁
