Tromsø Marina - panorama taken at 11PM. Midnight sun is over the northern horizon from May 18 until July 26, but mountains north from the city block the view so the period is shorter few days, which means that one can see the sun 24 hours a day from approximately May 21 to July 21. Due to Tromsø position near the top of the globe, twilight is longer, meaning there is no true darkness between late April and mid-August. During this time city is a host for many cultural events and tens of thousands of tourists. You can imagine so called "night life" with sun shining all the night...
