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:
