Tromsø City Library is an inspiring haven for knowledge and learning unlike any other library in the world. With unique architecture paying homage to the city’s history and a constant stream of exciting events for visitors of all ages, Tromsø City Library is wholly deserving of its reputation as the best library in Norway.

The library’s attention-grabbing and spectacular architecture is a harmonious blend of the city’s culture and modernity. Its roof was taken from the beloved cinema, built in the 1960s, that once stood proudly on the library’s current lot, while the walls made of complete glass adds a futuristic touch to the building. Its interior is bright, spacious and welcoming, with comfortable bright red armchairs and sofas adding splashes of colour to create a cosy atmosphere for readers. For children who don’t like the quietness, head down to the children’s area in the basement, a lively and fun-filled area for children and parents to play, draw and socialise.
