- Tromsø tap water is glacier-fed and among the best in Europe — drink straight from the tap. Card payments are universal; carry NOK for the rare cash-only stall.
- Emergency services: dial 112. Tipping is not expected in Norway — prices already reflect fair wages.
- Airport TOS is 4 km from the city centre. Bus 40/42 costs 48 NOK; Flybussekspressen costs 125 NOK; taxi runs ~320 NOK. Norway is Schengen — EU/EEA nationals need no visa.
