00:00While everyone is heading to Oslo, Norway for the winter vibes, might I recommend Tromsø,
00:04one of the best winter destinations in the world. It's one of the best places to see the
00:08Northern Lights and 2025 and 2026 are the peak year to catch them until 2036. But it's not just
00:14the lights, Tromsø has the vibe of a capital city. It is after all known as the capital of the
00:19Arctic. It has an insanely underrated culinary scene, everything from Arctic seafood, Norwegian
00:23hot dogs, beer from one of the northernmost breweries in the world, to traditional Sami
00:28dishes. You can even learn about Sami culture from the indigenous people who have lived
00:32here for centuries, including spending a day learning about reindeer herding and interacting
00:37with the reindeers themselves. The town is incredibly walkable, tons of cute cafes and shops, and
00:42right outside of town, you can also explore the fjords, the nature, and experience snow
00:47on the beach. And to top it all off, they've set up a viewpoint on the top of a mountain
00:50with the snow peaks and city lights blending together. Tromsø is a real-life snow globe
00:55that you need a book of vacation to right now.
