Who It Suits and What to Know
OK Tromsø’s walking tour starts at Tromsø Cathedral in the centre, spends about an hour and three quarters on the quayside, the old wooden houses and a treasure hunt, then takes the public bus over the Tromsø Bridge to the Arctic Cathedral, where it ends. Entry to the cathedral and the bus ride are included, and it is rated 5.0 from 13 reviews. The whole tour is about 2.5 hours and 2.5 km on foot, in groups of up to 10.
