Tour description
Tromsø is the vibrant capital of Arctic Norway, an island city high above the Arctic Circle famous as a base for polar expeditions and for viewing the northern lights. Nicknamed the 'Paris of the North', it has a lively centre of old wooden houses. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its history.
You will wander the wooden old town, see the historic cathedral, and hear about the polar explorers, the Arctic culture and the midnight sun. Along the way you will take in views across the sound to the famous Arctic Cathedral. Unique and atmospheric, Tromsø is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
