This adorable coffee shop has two locations in Troms\u00f8, both equally easy on the eyes and with coffee that will shy the inevitable shivers away (this is the Arctic, after all). Don’t fight your inner voice that begs you to get their mouth-watering sweets; Kaffeb\u00f8nna also owns a bakery downtown where they do everything themselves in the utmost Norwegian tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polaria Museum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The aptly-named museum is dedicated to Northern Norway and its many aspects, from the daring expeditions to the Svalbard islands to the science behind the phenomenon that is the Northern Lights, and, for the little ones and their young-at-heart parents, the cold fish aquarium and its now famous trio of seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
