Tromsø, Norway

To explore the town, I began by walking around the harbor, which is relatively small and doesn’t take long to walk in its entirety. From the harbor, I had a clear view of the Tromsø Bridge (Tromsøbrua in Norwegian), which connects the mainland to Tromsøya, and the striking Arctic Cathedral across the water.

Along the waterfront, there were several museums, including Tromsø Sjöfartsmuseum & Fiskerimuseum, where I took a photo with the wooden-carved figures at the entrance, and Polarmuseet (The Arctic University Museum of Norway). I also passed a small park and The Skansen, a historic fortification site dating back to the 13th century.

After strolling along the boardwalk, I ventured into town to reach the Tromsø Bridge. Along the way, I caught glimpses of the quiet streets, where only a few tourists, like me, were making their way toward the bridge.

Crossing the bridge took some time, as it is quite long, but the views from the top were worth it. From there, I could see the town of Tromsø spread out below, with our boat appearing to be the only one docked in the harbor.

Once I reached the other side, I arrived at the Arctic Cathedral, known for its distinctive and modern architectural design.

From there, I followed the signs leading to the Fjellheisen cable car station.

At the top of Storsteinen mountain, I found myself in a hiker’s paradise. The trails were surrounded by breathtaking views of Tromsø, with stunning water and mountain landscapes stretching as far as the eye could see.
