Short answer

The Airport Express Bus takes about 20 minutes from Tromsø Airport to the centre and costs NOK 125 one way for adults, while Svipper city buses cost less. Svipper routes 24, 26, 40 and 42 stop at the airport, and a single bus ticket costs NOK 30 outside rush hour. A taxi takes about 10 minutes.

Why

  1. Best Arctic, which runs the Airport Express Bus, lists adult fares of NOK 125 one way and NOK 200 return, and NOK 80 one way for children aged 4 to 15.
  2. Svipper says city routes 24, 26, 40 and 42 stop at Tromsø Airport Langnes, a short walk from the arrival and departure halls.
  3. Avinor says the taxi rank is to the left just outside the arrivals hall, and that the drive to the city centre takes about 10 minutes.

Details

The Airport Express Bus stops right outside the departure hall and calls at Moxy Hotel, Polaria, Storgata, Prostneset bus terminal, Scandic Ishavshotel and The Dock Hotel. You can buy the ticket online or on the bus, where only cards are accepted, but not in the Svipper app. Taxi prices vary, and the driver must tell you the price before the trip starts.

Tip

With a lot of luggage, take the Airport Express Bus, since Svipper warns that city buses have limited space for baggage.

What may differ

The Airport Express timetable is seasonal: the one valid from 18 August to 25 October 2026 has the first weekday bus from the airport at 08:00 and the last at 23:55. Students, youth and seniors aged 67 and over pay NOK 100 one way.
