henry14 Says: You'll be ok for vegetarian food in Tromso. Silvertsens was recommended to me but it never seemed to be open when I passed by but it sounds good if you get chance to try it. For pizza there is Yonas Pizzeria in the Radisson SAS hotel and Peppes Pizza on Stortorget, both easy...
From Stockholm/Sweden to Tromsø by rail
Saagar Says: Durong winter time, the views from the train and bus(es) up north will be limited due to the short days. Because of the light inside the train/bus, there is not much to see outside from afternoon onwards. If you are bound to travel by rail/land, go by train from Stockholm to...
