Arriving at a new airport can be a little unsettling, especially when you need to get to the city. From Tromsø/Langnes Airport (TOS), there are several convenient ways to get to Tromsø city center and hotels – from traditional taxis to shared transfers and public transport. Here's what you need to know to choose the best option, considering time, cost, and comfort.
Official taxi stands are usually located directly near the exit from the terminal. Drivers are generally polite and will help with luggage. Make sure the driver turns on the meter, or clarify the cost of the trip to the city in advance. Keep in mind that during peak hours or in adverse weather conditions, travel time may increase. Usually, a trip to the city center takes from 15 to 25 minutes, and the cost varies between 20-35 euros.
A private transfer is a convenient option, especially if you are traveling with a large group or with a lot of luggage. Usually, a representative of the transfer company meets you in the arrivals hall with a sign with your name. Be sure to confirm the meeting details (time, place) in advance. The price is fixed upon booking, which allows you to avoid surprises. The cost of a private transfer can range from 40 to 70 euros, depending on the type of vehicle and distance.
Shared transfers are a more economical option, but it may take longer as the driver waits for enough passengers to gather to depart for the city. This is a good choice if you are not in a hurry and want to save money. Usually, shared transfers cost from 20 to 30 euros per person. Keep in mind that the transfer may include several stops along the way to drop off other passengers at different hotels.
