The Polar Certificate – proof of your Arctic adventure!

The Polar Certificate has become extremely popular and is practically a must have for anyone travelling north. It is physical proof that you have travelled north of the Arctic Circle and a fun souvenir to take home.

Whether you have chased the northern lights, experienced the midnight sun or travelled far to explore our unique nature and culture, the certificate offers a fun and tangible way to document your journey.

It is more than just a tourist souvenir – it marks the fact that you have crossed a geographical and cultural boundary and taken part in an experience that many people dream of. The certificate has become a collector’s item for travellers of all ages.

The Polar Certificate is also a great conversation starter, helping you share stories from Tromsø and everything you experienced here – from dog sledding and whale watching safaris to vibrant cultural experiences and excellent food.

The certificate was developed by Visit Tromsø-Region and is available at our visitor centres in Storgata 83 and at Prostneset Harbour Terminal.

We look forward to welcoming you!
