The downside in Tromso, Norway at this time of year is that the temperature is approximately 21 degrees every day. BUT if you always wanted the chance to view the glorious northern lights in an ice dome, winter is the best time for doing so. Tourists also love snow shoe hiking, polar boat cruises, and stopping by the Library of Tromso or the Arctic Cathedral.

Colombo, Sri Lanka
