0. Transportation from airport ✈️
Here you will find information on how to get around the city while participating in the County Championship.
Bus route 42 is one of the city buses that stops right outside Tromsø Airport Langnes and goes into Tromsø city centre. From the airport, you can board route 42 at the bus stop near the arrivals area. The bus travels through the city, and you should get off at a stop near the hotel (for example Nerstranda or Bankgata) — both of which are just a short walk from Clarion Hotel The Edge. Route 42 takes about 15–20 minutes from the airport to the city centre.
