Where on the horizon?

Sunrise and sunset compass bearings for Tromsø — face these degrees, not “due east” or “due west.”

N E S W
Sunrise Sunset
Sunrise azimuth 104° ESE Face ESE at dawn
Sunset azimuth 256° WSW Face WSW at dusk

Azimuth is degrees clockwise from true north (0°). Today the disk clears the horizon at 104° ESE and drops at 256° WSW. Use that heading to pick a rail, pier, or hill that actually sees the Sun — then jump to where to stand.

Solar facts

  • 1Midnight sun typically lasts from mid-May to late July; polar night from late November to mid-January.
  • 2Even in polar night, civil twilight can paint a blue midday sky over the fjord.
  • 3Fjellheisen and the Arctic Cathedral are classic viewpoints when the disk does rise.

Daylight Saving Time

Tromsø observes Daylight Saving Time. On spring-forward and fall-back weekends, sunrise and sunset jump one hour on the clock even though the Sun has barely moved. Recheck this page after those weekends rather than last week’s memory.

East–west spread

Across Norway on this site, the Sun rises first in Tromsø (07:22 AM, 18.9553°) and last in Longyearbyen (08:16 AM, 15.6267°). That east–west spread is about 54m. They sit in different time zones, so the true solar delay is about 54m even when local clock times look closer. Tromsø sits at 18.9553°.

Tromsø sits well above the Arctic Circle. For weeks around the June solstice the Sun does not set; around the December solstice it does not rise. Official tables switch to Polar Day and Polar Night instead of clock-time sunrise.

Tromsø Sunrise & Sunset FAQ

No. Polar night means the Sun stays below the horizon for weeks. The city page shows Polar Night instead of a sunrise time.
Roughly mid-May through late July. During that stretch sunrise and sunset are listed as Polar Day — the Sun circles above the horizon.
Sunrise and sunset in Tromsø are calculated daily from its coordinates and the Europe/Oslo timezone. Check the live solar cards on this page for today’s exact local times, day length, and the countdown to the next event.
Today the sun rises at 104° ESE and sets at 256° WSW in Tromsø. Face that compass bearing from an open viewpoint — sunrise is rarely due east, and sunset is rarely due west.
Evening golden hour in Tromsø starts about an hour before sunset; evening blue hour follows as the Sun drops below the horizon. Morning windows are listed in the golden hour section on this page.
In 2026, the longest day in Tromsø is May 18, 2026 with 23h 42m 0s of daylight, and the shortest is Jan 1, 2026 with 0h 0m 0s.

The latest sunrise is 11:41 AM on Jan 15, 2026, and the earliest sunset is 12:04 AM on May 17, 2026. These clock-time extremes often miss the solstice by a few days because of the Equation of Time.
Yes, Tromsø shifts its clocks for Daylight Saving Time, which changes sunrise and sunset by one hour on the local clock during part of the year.
At 69.6° latitude, Tromsø can have days with no sunrise or no sunset. When that happens this site labels the day Polar Day (midnight sun) or Polar Night instead of inventing a clock time. See the Midnight Sun hub for Arctic city dates.
