Tour description
Tromsø is the vibrant capital of Arctic Norway, an island city located above the Arctic Circle known as a base for polar expeditions and an ideal place to admire the northern lights. Nicknamed the 'Paris of the North', it boasts a lively city center filled with historic wooden houses. On this walking tour, a local guide will reveal the city's history.
You will stroll through the wooden old town, admire the historic cathedral, and hear about polar explorers, Arctic culture, and the midnight sun phenomenon. Along the way, you will take in views across the strait toward the famous Arctic Cathedral. Unique and atmospheric, Tromsø is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
