Tromsø: Paris of the North
Greetings Norwegians! Today we launch both the norwegian translation and the norwegian city of Tromsø. Many thanks to the translators for their excellent job!
But why not the capital Oslo with its 500,000 population?
Tromsø was known in the 19th century as the “Paris of the North”, probably because people in Tromsø appeared as far more civilized than expected to foreign tourists. Fashions, language skills and a high educational level of the city's gentry came as a big surprise to prejudiced visitors.
The nightlife of Tromsø enjoys national fame. The combined capacity of clubs, pubs and bars is of more than 20,000 people, meaning that one out of three can go out at the same time. However, the sin city image was more apparent in the 1970s and even more in the 1980s, when Tromsø boasted an unprecedented number of all-night all-week clubs.
