Yearex Elite: Tromso

Tromso Norway

Tromso is the administrative, commercial, and educational hub of northern Norway. It's the seventh largest city in Norway by population, and is home to the world's most northerly university, brewery and botanical garden. The town is situated about 350 km north of the Arctic Circle, so it experiences both the midnight sun and polar night. Tromsø is reputed to be one of the best places in Europe to see the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis. The beautiful cathedral, one of the largest wooden churches in Norway, is located in the town centre in a small square with some interesting statues and sculptures. Take a stroll down Storgatan to the marketplace, where soothing music plays, and the air is filled with the aroma of coffee, fresh bread, and strawberries. The Tromso museum features ethnographic exhibits on the independent cultures of Lapland. The Polar Museum, next door, has exhibits on the story of the Arctic region with a focus on the lives of early hunters, trappers and explorers. Tromsdalen Kirke, commonly known as the “Arctic Cathedral”, is not actually a cathedral at all, but the parish church of the Tromsøysund part of Tromso. It was built in 1965, mainly of concrete, and is designed to look like slabs of ice. The church is one of the most famous landmarks in Tromsø. Tromso is a compact, friendly, and lively town with a picturesque setting on an island. The city has more than its fair share of restaurants, pubs, clubs and theatres to entertain locals and visitors. Tromso is undoubtedly the cultural capital of northern Norway.
