Jewel of the Seas — Tromsø Cathedral


Tromsø Cathedral

Any walk around Tromsø’s downtown area should include Tromsø Cathedral. It’s not as grandiose as other European cathedrals, especially those dating back hundreds of years ago, but it’s still worth a visit. This Gothic Revival church is fairly new, having been completed in 1861. It also follows the traditional “long church” floorplan typical of Norway. Well take a more in-depth look in a moment, but here’s the area immediately adjacent to the church, specifically along Storgata, which runs west of the church:

By the way, looking for a fun souvenir shop? Try this place, Way Nor, also on Storgata across from the cathedral:

And if you don’t see what you want there, just two doors down (left side of the photo above) is another great shop called Fjellshop. I also love this street for the great roofs you find topping the stores:

Now, back to Tromsø Cathedral, both inside and out:
