Things to do near Tromso, Norway
These are just a few of the more popular tourist attractions in Tromso, along with a brief description:
♦ Tromso Science Center and Planetarium
If you are fascinated by science, then you certainly don’t want to pass up the opportunity to visit the Tromso Science Center! This incredible center for scientific research is located on the campus of Norway’s Arctic University and features a planetarium show where you can learn more about the northern lights and outer space exploration. Some of the exhibits are focused on nature, climate, and even the human body. If you’re traveling with children, they can participate in the center’s SKILLS Lab, where kids between 10 and 13 can partake in some fun hands-on activities. Plus, Arctic University has an amazing botanical garden located on its grounds, meaning you can make a whole day of this activity!
♦ Arctic Cathedral
The Arctic Cathedral of Tromso is another popular attraction among tourists (and is even part of an excursion during select Hurtigruten itineraries). This church is so large that you can view it all the way from the Tromso Bridge! Its glass façade and mosaic, along with wooden pews, unique organ, and giant chandeliers, make it an interesting piece of architecture. Whether you visit by day or night (it’s even more beautiful when all lit up), you certainly won’t be disappointed by this beautiful landmark.
♦ Northern Lights/Midnight Sun
Since Tromso is known as the Northern Lights Capital, it only makes sense that the Northern Lights are one of its highlighted attractions! Your best chance of witnessing this once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon is between September and April (specifically between mid-November to mid-January). However, if you’re not sailing between those months, you’ve got the chance to experience the Midnight Sun! Between May and July, Tromso is covered in seemingly unending sunlight, which is an incredible phenomenon in itself! (It’s also a great time to visit if you want to get in as much as possible during your time there).
