Tromsø lies in Northern Norway. The municipality has a population of approx 75.000. It is the largest urban area in Northern Norway and the third largest north of the Arctic Circle (following Murmansk and Norilsk).
Most of Tromsø, including the city centre, is located on the island of Tromsøya, 350 kilometres (217 mi) north of the Arctic Circle.
Substantial parts of the urban area are also situated on the mainland to the east, and on parts of Kvaløya—a large island to the west. Tromsøya is connected to the mainland by the Tromsø Bridge and the Tromsøysund Tunnel, and to the island of Kvaløya by the Sandnessund Bridge.
The city is warmer than most other places located on the same latitude, due to the warming effect of the Gulf Stream.
