Jewel of the Seas — Downtown Tromsø


Storgata Street, Tromsø, Norway (1:13:35 p.m., 24 June 2022)

Today I’m going to try something just a bit different. I’m going to post a series of consecutively taken photographs in Tromsø, Norway, starting on Storgata and heading south. The timestamp is posted to give you an idea on how closely space all these sights are.

Now it’s time to cross over one parallel street to the east. We’re now on Strandgata at the Strandtorget looking north:

Strandtorget appears to be quite the draw for outdoor activity in Tromsø. Here you can play table tennis, chess, or let the little ones frolic on the play equipment:

We’re now continuing northeast on Strandgata, heading toward Kirkegata:

Hitting Kirkegata (Church Street) gets you this view of Tromsø Cathedral:

Time to hang a right and head east on Kirkegata to snap a shot of the Roald Amundsen Memorial Statue:

Not bad. All that in just a mere forty-five minutes of casual strolling. But as we headed back toward the ship, I found one additional fun shot. This is the Kongsbakken Upper Secondary School as seen from below on Fredrik Langes Gate:

This week’s Fun Photo Friday will complete this look at Tromsø. Next week I’ll show you our next June 2022 destination — Honningsvåg.
