The Polar Museum is located at the northern end of downtown Tromsø, within easy walking distance from most of the city’s hotels and places to stay. 

Visiting by car:

The Polar Museum does not have its own car park. However, the Tromsø City Council has a car park near the entrance to the museum. Museum visitors may park here for a fee, which may be paid by card, cash or by downloading the Easypark app. 

Visiting by bus:

Given its central location, you can catch many different buses to reach the Polar Museum. You can use this travel planner to check which bus number and departure time to take to get to the museum.  

If you visit the city’s tourist information office at Visit Tromsø, you can buy the Tromsø Pass. The provides unlimited bus travel during the specified period as well as admission to a range of attractions in Tromsø, including both our museums.
