Tromsø combines a compact city on Tromsøya with fishing villages, fjord communities and extensive mountains far beyond the centre. Urban development crosses the sounds to Tromsdalen and Kvaløysletta, while other parts of the municipality still depend strongly on work at sea.
The university, university hospital and research institutions give the city a regional role beyond its population size. Students, patients and specialists from across Northern Norway meet in a port city shaped by both fisheries and international tourism.
