) is a
municipality
in
Troms og Finnmark
county
,
Norway
. The
administrative centre
of the municipality is the
city of Tromsø
.
Tromsø lies in
Northern Norway
. The 2,521-square-kilometre (973 sq mi) municipality is the 21st largest by area out of the 356 municipalities in Norway. With a population of 76,974, Tromsø is the 12th most populous municipality in Norway. The municipality's
population density
is 31.1 inhabitants per square kilometre (81/sq mi) and its population has increased by 14.4% over the previous 10-year period.

It is the largest urban area in Northern Norway and the third largest north of the
Arctic Circle
anywhere in the world (following
Murmansk
and
Norilsk
, both in
Russia
). Most of Tromsø, including the city centre, is located on the island of
Tromsøya
, 350 kilometres (217 mi) north of the Arctic Circle. In 2017, the
city of Tromsø
had a population of about 65,000 people spread out over
Tromsøya
and parts of
Kvaløya
and the mainland. 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 municipality is warmer than most settlements on the same latitude, even milder than places much further south on
Hudson Bay
in Canada and in
Far East Russia
, due to the effect of the
Gulf Stream
, whose warm-water current allows for both relatively mild winters and
tree growth
in spite of its high latitude. The maritime proximity renders low air pressure leading to a lot of snow accumulation in winter.
The city centre contains the highest number of old wooden houses in
Northern Norway
, the oldest dating from 1789. Tromsø is a cultural hub for the region, with several festivals taking place in the summer. Torbjørn Brundtland and Svein Berge of the electronica duo
Röyksopp
and
Lene Marlin
grew up and started their careers in Tromsø.
