Tromso

 

Tromso lies north of the Arctic Circle and is the largest city in the Nordic countries to do so. It is known as the Gateway to the Arctic as it is often the starting point for Arctic exploration.

 

It is famous for its cathedral, brewery and the world’s most northerly university.

Although a church was built here in 1252, Tromso was founded much later, in 1794 and was the center for Polar sea fishing. Visitors enjoy the culture of the city, the many festivals which take place here and the football. Tromso has no less than three Premier League Football teams. It is one of the best places to see the aurora borealis and enjoys the Midnight Sun from mid May to the end of July.
