Tromsø on Foot

Explore Winter Delights during a City Walk Take a walk around Tromsø and enjoy the sights of the “Gateway to the Arctic.” Stroll along the waters' edge to take in the picturesque sites. Admire the mix of architectural styles, blending old with new, and get a glimpse of the modern facade of the Arctic Cathedral, nicknamed the “Opera House of Norway” due to its resemblance to the Sydney Opera House. Continue to Skansen and view Tromsø’s oldest house, and stroll down Storgata, the city’s pedestrian street, where you can browse the windows of the boutique stores. Pass the iconic Raketten, a quaint establishment and one of Norway’s smallest bars, and stop to see the statue of the Norwegian polar explorer, Roald Amundsen. Pause to admire the outside of Tromsø Cathedral, Norway’s only wooden cathedral, and walk past the MS Polstjerna , a ship from Tromsø's past, en route back to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
