Nice place. I visited around 10am. Cathedral was closed for public because of some function inside ( might be wedding). I couldn't see the tinted glass walls. The cathedral was looking heavenly with the colours from the background mountain and the sunrise.

Walking through the bridge, the cathedral is just in front of. A triangle white shape with couple layers on the side makes it so special and modern. it is one of the landmark in Tromso. Except walking by, you can take local bus of 26.

Beautiful church with exquisite architecture. The interior stained glass window is the center piece of the church.

Beautifully lit Cathedral at night and the architectural structure makes it stand out from all the other buildings in Tromso. I have seen many Cathedrals across the globe and this is definitely the most stylish and modern design of them all, well it has to be as it doubles up as a concert hall! I did not enter the Cathedral as other reviews stated the inside was nothing special. Well worth a walk around from the exterior you will not be disappointed!

The Arctic Cathedral in Tromsø, Norway, is a stunning masterpiece of modern architecture. Its striking triangular design and towering stained glass window create a mesmerizing sight against the Arctic sky. The interior's serene ambiance and acoustic excellence make it a must-visit for spiritual seekers and architectural enthusiasts alike.

Beautiful stained glass window. Wish they were still doing the midnight concert, but they have not since Covid. I've added photos of Tromso as well.

Very nice visit to this iconic Tromso landmark. We arrived having walked across the bridge from the centre. Unfortunately on our arrival we discovered it was closed to the public due to a funeral. Luckily we had other plans so we're able to return a few hours later when it had reopened. Would recommend if in the area.

I really recommend you to go and see this beautiful cathedral. I really liked the architecture inside, it was so modern, airy and above all cheerful compared to traditional cathedrals! The entrance costs about 7€ per person and you will have a souvenir shop selling some items that are not typical for Tromsø and the region. Go at the end of the day to get less crowded or else in the middle of the day to see the zenithal light through the beautiful big windows. Either way, you won't regret your visit as it is a beautiful monument and well worth a visit.

One of the most iconic landmarks of Tromsø, the cathedral stands tall and proud as the first thing you see when you cross the bridge. The interior is honestly nothing too impressive with completely white walls which basically also is the roof. But the entrance isn’t that pricey so you might as well enter if you are there while it’s open anyways. But the shape does actually make it very atmospheric and mesmerising when there is a concert inside. Do check if there are any upcoming concerts which you might be interested in, occasionally there will be traditional music or choir in there :))

Beautiful architecture yet very simple and intimate. I really liked not seeing Jesus on the cross in the conventional way it usually is in Christian churches. The shape is harmonized with the mural making it one of the most unique churches I've visited in the world. Ace told us the history of how the church was built, how hard it is to clean the windows due to it's shape. They had to hire professional mountain climbers to do that! About the mural and organ additions later on. The meaning of the numbers on the walls and a lot more interesting information. There's a changing display. Currently, it's beautiful local photography. Opening hours change on short notice sometimes (funerals / christening). I highly recommend calling ahead or checking their website. Usually, it's 13-17 (Wed 14-17). Parking is free behind the church. Bathrooms are available. The only unharmonized part for me is - I would much rather donate 70kr (probably more) than pay at the entrance. I always thought paying to go into church just depicts the whole concept of a house of God hence the 4 stars.

We visited this church just before heading back to the airport. We regreted not spending more time at this place. It was a quite unique place. We would have loved to attended the Christmas 🎄 lighting which was happening the day after we were leaving. I would recommend attending a concert or sunday service here. It would be an amazing experience 🤗

A major landmark in Tromso (the other side of the big bridge) . It costs 80NK to get in and apart from the large feature stained glass window , the rest of the building will leave you cold . The architecture is great externally, but it's featureless, dull and boring on the inside. There are toilets in the building which is a plus and the views from outside are great. Other than that it's one to miss

Such a joy to visit this incredible cathedral. I lit votive candles and prayed whilst listening to the Tromsø orchestra rehearsing. The stained glass window is spectacular and it simply felt so spiritual to be offering thanks from this frozen place of extreme beauty.

Visited on a Sunday evening and it was pretty quiet. The architecture is impressive, but mostly from the outside. I'd say it's not worth paying the 70NOK (£5.5) to go inside, it feels pretty empty and the exhibition downstairs was a missed opportunity to make the visit interesting. I'd have liked to learn more about the history of the cathedral instead.

Stunning building and worth seeing. 50NOK to enter is a bit rude. It’s a cathedral I’d have thought it would be a donation rather than an entrance fee.

Nestled within the Arctic landscapes of Tromsø, the Arctic Church is an architectural gem that harmoniously fuses contemporary design with its natural surroundings. Its angular form and expansive glass windows provide a stunning vantage point to behold the mesmerizing Northern Lights and the breathtaking vistas beyond. Inside, a minimalist yet warm ambiance greets visitors, achieved through the skillful use of natural materials. It's worth noting that there is an entrance fee of 70 NOK to experience this remarkable synthesis of art, nature, and spirituality. A visit to the Arctic Church promises an unparalleled connection to both the serene Arctic environment and a sense of profound tranquility.

A very unique landmark of Tromsø, however not open to the public at all times to enter. It's exterior architecture is the main interesting factor and that is perfectly visible from the outside. It is accessible from Tromsø either via walking over the long main bridge, or via taking the bus to Tromsdalen.

It’s clearly a tourist attraction but there is no information about it. And you have to pay 70 NOK per person. It has interesting architecture.

Nov 4th at 6:45pm. Really lovely day or night.. Parking lot in the back if you want a few mins to grab some pictures.

The Arctic Cathedral is absolutely amazing, in the looks from the outside and breathtaking on the inside. Inside the cathedral is vast, and you can see across from the entrance to the back. There is plenty of seating, both the pews and other seating near the front. Downstairs there are photos of the construction and designs of the cathedral; which can be accessed by steps or a lift. You can easily get to the cathedral by bus, car or by walking across the bridge. If you can go across the bridge, there are lots of nice views of the cathedral and Tromsø. I highly recommend it while visiting Tromsø.

The Arctic Cathedral is breathtaking, both inside and out. It is a very modern construction with clean, elegant lines. I visited as part of an excursion booked through Hurtigruten Cruises. I would recommend timing your visit to avoid bus tours.

A modern Cathedral resembling a traditional Sami tent dwelling. The Cathedral is in a prominent position at he end of a road bridge connecting to the main island where Tromso city centre is located. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to it over the bridge from the city. Inside the gaps between the concrete wall panels are connected by steel members to model stitching. It has a modern interior with large chandeliers over the central nave, and a modern stained glass window over the altar. You can have a sit down at the rear of the building before returning over the bridge, which can be quite chilly in winter and spring. Also there is a basement with toilets if you need them which are open to visitors.

Loved the Arctic Cathedral. It is without a doubt one of the most iconic landmarks in Tromsø . You also get really amazing views of the bridge and the city from the viewpoint of the church. The church itself is a modern creation with its aluminum coated concrete panels giving it the interesting form that it has. Should be a go to place if you are in Tromsø .

Nice architecture. Nothing else to do aside from a 10min stop to take photos. There's a fee to enter inside.

The Arctic Cathedral: NOK 70 to see the interior of its—indeed—spectacular architecture I found ridiculous. I did not want to support this; pics August 11, 2023 (including views from the platform towards the bridge):

Amazing architecture and views of Tromso. Catch any bus beginning with 2x (20, 24, 26, 28) but make sure you're going in the right direction, i.e., buses which do NOT say Flyplassen...I recommend the stop outside Peppes Pizza.

Small but nice aquarium. You will need 60 to 90 minutes to see everything ...Highlight of the Polaria is the seal feeding which takes place 3x per day, last 3:30pm. Aquarium closes at 4pm. The fish feeding is also quite interesting. And there is a 120 degree cinema that shows 3 different movies. Public Parking is available in front of Polaria. Cost approx. 2,1 EUR per hour. If this was helpful , please give a thumb up. Thanks.

This is a small aquarium that focuses on the arctic sea life around Norway. The exhibits are well done with easy to see fish and animals and detailed and interesting descriptions. The theatre offers 3 short films highlighting the region including the Northern Lights, Svalbard, and an insider’s view of the aquarium. Tourist buses arrive around the three daily seal feeding and training sessions. Best to time your visit to end with the seals so the other exhibits are less crowded.

The exhibition is mainly an aquarium, a pool with seals and a cinema with some movies over the wildlife of the northern Norwegian region. We would've loved to see more stuff over the Polar and it's climate and the research work performed there. The seal show is three times a day and quite fun if not too crowded.

In the heart of Tromsø, Polaria Aquarium is a delightful escape into the underwater wonders of the Arctic. Despite its modest size, this venue packs a punch with its diverse marine life and engaging exhibits. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a sense of wonder as you embark on a journey through the icy depths of the Arctic Ocean. The aquarium boasts a fascinating array of species native to these frigid waters, from playful seals to majestic fish. One of the highlights of my visit was witnessing the feeding time for the seals at 15:30. It was an unforgettable experience watching these graceful creatures glide effortlessly through the water as they eagerly awaited their meal. The dedication of the staff to providing enriching experiences for both visitors and animals alike was truly commendable. Despite its small size, Polaria Aquarium offers a wealth of educational opportunities for visitors of all ages. Interactive exhibits and informative displays provide insight into the unique ecosystems of the Arctic and the importance of conservation efforts to protect them. Overall, my visit to Polaria Aquarium is positive. From the friendly staff to the captivating marine life, it's a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Tromsø. I highly recommend setting aside time to witness the feeding time for the seals—it's an experience you won't soon forget!

Cute seals, and an interesting! You can learn a lot about global environmental problems and see with your own eyes what is happening now and what happened in the past 30-40 years, how much ice melted, how much the level of water raised and how quickly wild animals losing their environment.

Polaria in Tromso, Norway is an architectural marvel that perfectly represents ice sheets in its design. While the interior is beautiful, featuring seals and a few exhibits, the variety of things to see is somewhat limited. However, the panorama area offers an enthralling short documentary on Svalbard's wildlife, which made the visit worthwhile. Overall, Polaria is a captivating and unique attraction that's worth a visit.

The museum is very nice. You can see several live seals there and attend feed show. There is a cinema with aurora and Svalbard movies. The best movies I've seen in whole Norway. Seal pole is going to be even larger soon. Worth to see!

A nice but fairly small aquarium, that is currently being extended so some parts are closed. The nice thing is all the exhibitions are arctic sea life. The panoramic cinema is very informative so is the Seal training and feeding. The entrance price is very reasonable. It is worth a visit.

Wonderful little place. You get to see the beautiful seals play and have fun in general. A must visit place, especially if you got children, as they will love the fishes and the seals. They have small shows about the auroras and arctic life, as well as feeding sessions a couple of times a day. Check up on what's planned for they day on their website. As of the time of writing, they are also in the process of adding new seal pools including an outdoor one, so definitely exciting.

Experience the wonders of seals from Norwegian northern seas of Svalbard in their new found habitat in Tromsø, the biggest city in the artic. You also have the opportunity to experience the artic animal life in 3D auditorium. A good place for family and friends outing. Make a date next time you in the city of Tromsø.

Its beautiful and unique building. The staffs are so friendly and they will inform you when is the time for seal feeding and time for the cinema that shows about some short movies. Basically its a small aquarium exhibition about Nordic sea animals. They have several fishes and seals, and they put the detail description on each of them which is interesting. The small cinema shows 3 short films about the Northern Lights, Svalbard, and an the animals in the aquarium. You should see the seals feeding. They are so cute. Best time to go there is on weekdays so it wont be so crowded.

Great place if the weather is bad. Otherwise I wouldn't mind to miss it. If you have kids, they'll love it as they can explore sea life and run around. You can even touch some anemones and sea stars. Panorama cinema was probably cool 20 years ago, nowadays some videos are quite outdated. Seal's feeding is not a show, so don't be disappointed. They perceive it as an actual feeding with respecting the animals (which is positive). Might get pretty crowded when weather is bad. Movies are projected every 30 minutes. 3 short movies are rotated. Feeding is 3x a day.

Polaria is a fantastic destination for a half-day excursion when you find yourself in Tromsø. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone, particularly families with young ones. Personally, it was the highlight of my visit to Tromsø. While the aquarium itself may not be massive, it has a unique charm. Among its residents are two harbor seals and two bearded seals, a rarity to find in captivity. These bearded seals, known for their distinctive "mustaches," are a captivating sight. Don't miss the seal feedings, which occur three times a day—a real treat! The facility also features smaller water tanks inhabited by various fish, starfish, and shellfish. The entire environment is kept at a refreshingly cool temperature, ensuring the comfort of the aquatic inhabitants. For those who tend to feel the chill, I would recommend bringing a vest or extra layer. Polaria goes beyond being a mere aquarium; it offers interactive learning stations for visitors to engage with. Additionally, there's a cinema showcasing three different short films that run throughout the day, adding an educational dimension to your visit. Overall, Polaria is a must-visit in Tromsø, offering a unique opportunity to get up close to these fascinating Arctic creatures and providing an educational and entertaining experience for all ages.

A wonderful half-day trip destination if you are in Tromsø. I can definitely recommend it to anybody and especially families with kids. For me personally this was the highlight of my Tromsø visit. The aquarium in of itself is not that big, in regards to large animals/mammals it houses 2 harbour seals and 2 bearded seals. The bearded seals are rarely kept in captivity, so this is a unique chance to take a glance at their beautiful "mustaches" that give them the name bearded seal. There is a seal feeding 3× a day, which I suggest you should not miss out on! They have some smaller water tanks which house some smaller fish, starfish and shellfish. The entire place is kept at a chilly temperature so the animals feels comfortable, so I can recommend that people who run cold easily, should bring a vest with them. The aquarium offers some interactive learning stations for their guests and a cinema which shows 3 different short movies on repeat through out the day.

I had a ticket through the culture pass I purchased. I would have never come here otherwise (or to the Polar Museum). It's a small aquarium. Staff is very nice. sadly the gift shop was the best part. The tanks look murky, small and uninviting. Information is provided in English and Norsk. Movies are nice and informative. Worse part for me was seeing 5 seals confined in a really small aquarium. Low ceiling, no natural light whatsoever or fresh air. It's just wrong and very sad. They are left there for 12-16 hours a day by themselves once the aquarium is closed. I get so agitated with the conditioned feeding circus show "turn around get a fish" "clap get a fish" "play dead get a fish" etc. I left at the middle of the feeding. The rest of the space at the aquarium is small and very basic. Paid parking only. Bathrooms available. Coat and lockers available. An hour is plenty. I do not recommend it. Go on a Fjord cruise or whale watch cruise you'll enjoy mammals and local animals in their natural habitat the way it's supposed to be.

I was excited to go there, but once i got there unfortunately it wasn’t wow. The lady from the entrance gave no information whatsoever, not even which way should i go. Inside there is not that much to see , the aquarium and some other things. There is a cinema inside where they play some short movies , that was cool.

A very small museum on the shores and has few seals and a small aquarium. You get to view a 15 minute video about the landscape of Northern Tromso. The aquarium has few salmon and crabs but their highlights are their seals. They steal the show with their playful nature and show off when you talk to them. Plan your visit to align with their feeding time and you will enjoy the show. I was surprised by how they are trained and can respond to the trainers commands..

We only had an hour before it closed due to our ship arriving late, but had to pay full price 🥴. We just made the last seal feeding show which was good. Loved the big blimpy bearded seals!! The interactive exhibits were also quite good, but the live exhibits were few in number compared to other aquariums we have visited around Norway and the rest of the world. The moon jellies were a little uninspiring as we have experienced much better ones with striking lighting. The shop was good though.

One of the most northerly aquariums anywhere. It's a Family friendly and multi lingual site, with some of the friendliest people you will meet particularly the lady on the till and katrine who did the ' ice to see you ' event, where you feed the seals ice. My partner loved it . The aquarium is not large (though is expanding) and it concentrates on local aquatic creatures and environmental issues facing the area. Fantastic day out

Very cozy and small museum with an interesting way of explaining how humans affect the entire planet. I think this is the most important part of the museum, to reflect on our behavior and our choices (note aside: sadly not many read or pay attention to anything but that's how it is nowadays, nobody reads in detail 😭). Cinema: The cinema part was also a nice distraction and a bit of a break from the entire crowd (it was 11:30am on a Thursday and it was super crowded). I suggest telling people beforehand to stay quiet and respect the show though, it was a bit too loud and difficult to enjoy the spectacular scenes. Feeding animals and playing: A highlight ✨ very cute. Love how they present them and show how smart they are. Store: Good 👍🏻 an opportunity to buy everything, from the museum and from Norway. It's worth a visit, with or without kids, it's very small, so expect it to last no longer than 2 hours but it is in my opinion so well presented (ecology, fish, environment issues, humans, food chain, etc).

This is a great place to visit while in Tromsø. Each tank has information about the sea life that inhabits each tank; with photos and a description of each inhabitant. Next to the main seal tank there is a large screen to interact with. You can see lots of information about the type, age and characteristics of each seal living at the aquarium. The seal feeding is a must watch, and that is done at certain times of the day. You can also see the seals and fish from different angles, as there are cutouts at various points to peak through. There are a couple different levels to explore with ramps available for easy access, and there is a lift available if needed to get to the upper level. This is a wonderful place to visit, for those young children and adults. Well worth a look. The aquarium also has a nice gift shop on the way out.

Genuinely kind staff, they care so much for each animal, fish, etc. Spend 1-2 hours, the seal feeding is worth it! Such a great business with love for the town and the seals. Can't wait to come back and visit the expansion!

It's nice museum, but we expected a bit more for that money. Three movies, some informations and aquariums and very small basin for seals. We have been in Dolfinarium in The Netherlands and in Nausicaa in France and you can't compare it! But they are going to enlarge the building, so it could get beter.

If you’re thinking of visiting this place, you have to realize this is actually a museum about hunting. If the mass slaughter of innocent animals for profit is your jam, you will LOVE this place. I’m not judging (too much) - the people who in times past made this their living did so out of necessity or cultural background. But that doesn’t mean I’m that desperate to immerse myself in such a past, especially since the museum has a rather celebratory tone towards killing baby seals. I’d rather pass.

Small museum, located in an 1830s warehouse on the seafront, but full of historical exhibits. Following its establishment as the “Gateway to the Arctic” in the late 19th century, Tromsø became a base for many polar expeditions. The Polar Museum preserves and conveys stories related to this aspect of the history of Tromsø and the Arctic. The Polar Museum’s permanent exhibitions deal with sealing, overwintering trapping, the stories of famous trappers such as Henry Rudi and Wanny Wolstad, the expeditions of Fridtjof Nansen and Roald Amundsen. Worthy of a visit.

Seems pretty small from photos, but despite the size of the building they can fit surprisingly lot of stuff into 3 floor exhibitions. If you are into polar adventure and hunting, you'll love it. If you are coming with kids be aware of the fact it's dedicated mostly to hunting. So you might explain why those cute little seals are on hooks... It's a nice place to go when weather is bad. And it's just behind the corner of the city centre and main meeting spots. Recommend to start early as it might get pretty crowded.

Quite informative museum on Arctic region, polar animals, their hunting and local people. A section on Amundsen was quite informative.

A very nice museum which tackles the history surrounding the northpole from a norwegian perspective to the fullest and in details about the fauna there as well. We get taught about the famous norwegian explorers like Amundsen, Nansen and even the female explorer Wanny. A paperback script is handed to the guests which contains a good 20 pages of thorough information about all the exposition rooms in the museum, translated into various languages since the museum signs themselves are in norwegian most of the time, so the paper script serves as translation for them. The entry is free for students and I highly recommend it!

This was very educational. Lots of information and every turn you make opens up a room full of new things to see. Recommend keeping adequate time to explore the place. Be sure to look up when you're there. There are surprise finds in unexpected places. The outside of the building is as fascinating as the inside. The wall art is phenomenal

Great exhibition, very realistic sets of the hunters' hut and the polar animals they were chasing. Amundsen and Nansen story well told.

Very nice and interesting place.. is not big but it worth a lot, also the guides come in different languages so you can learn a lot even if you don't speak English. I enjoy the visit and I recommend it for 2- 3 hours activity in Trømso city.

It's a nice little museum with history on polar expeditions. Very informative- they give a little guidebook for English speakers. Many in previous reviews complained about the fact that animals being hunted in the past so don't visit if you can't bear it. It is a part of their past so it's unavoidable. Since then, the government imposed restrictions on hunting.

It's a very good museum that is quite quick to do and covers the Arctic culture in its entirety (way of life, fauna and flora, hunting and fishing tools...) the advice I can give you is to remember to bring a student card (if you are a student) as there is a reduced rate. Don't forget to ask the hostess/hostess at the entrance to give you a booklet (there are in English, German and French) which explains the different parts of the museum in detail, it's very interesting to understand each piece, work or setting. Count on about 1h30 for the visit in order to see each part well. Concerning the parking, I recommend you to park in a big parking place not far from the museum, just on the street behind, it's not free but it's allowed and it will cost you about 2€20 The souvenir shop in the museum is a bit expensive, others in town are much cheaper I think

Highy recommended to anyone visiting Tromsø and wants to learn more about early history of seal hunting.Polarmuseet is easily accessible on foot and it’s located along the shores with a great view of the tromsø bridge and the cathedral. Went there with my family and we bought tickets on arrival.The staff were helpful and friendly.

Most things described in Norwegian but overall worth visiting especially for students whose have free entrance.

This museum is all about Norwegian history and their exploration of the north and south poles. This museum also shows the sad reality of how they hunted various animals present in the arctic region. I found it very hard to digest the fact of killing these animals for fur and meats. I really wish they could also add a little history about Sami people.

It was a great experience, there are some discounts with the tickets if you are a student and they provide you with a paper guide in Norwegian or English, so you don't miss anything. 100% recommended if you are really interested in Norwegian history and the polar expeditions of the late 19th century. And yes, it is a bit hard to see stuffed animals in the exhibits, but it is important to remember that it is not an apology for hunting, it is a call to reflect on our ancestors and the way they lived and how they saw their world by then.

Excellent, and really brought home how early arctic use was so exploitative. Lots of stuffed animals that shocked my kids a bit, but was also a valuable lesson for them in the horrible things people do for fur and money. You can stroke all the difft stuffed seals etc to understand why they hunted certain types. Glad we went and pricing was fair, unlike many local attractions.

Very educational for sure. The exhibits might be a bit jarring for some. Definitely stirs up some emotions, especially when you read about how they bought tourists to kill those animals just for fun, but definitely a place to reflect on the actions of the past. The exhibits themselves do not have much information in English, but they do give you a booklet with the English information. Must visit place.

Amazing museum! Not very large but documents the exploits of Norwegian polar expeditions very nicely. Would definitely recommend a visit!

Very good museum, having 10 rooms. All details in Norwegian language but a booklet with almost all details provided from the ticket counter.

We have waited like 30 minutes in order to buy 2x day passes. The staffs are nice. The day pass is very nice printed. But there can be more staffs organized so that not all 2 counters are long possessed of the tourist who inquires more than 20 minutes.

One of the excellent services and information I have ever received at one location. They have great knowledge and will help you plan your trip. I would say, please follow their recommendations 100%. They are also aware about places to see in Senja and other regions. You will also be able to book your tours from this place. You can shop a lot of souvenirs from this place. They are helpful in person as well as online and have helped me from planning my trip well in advance. Special thanks to Cameron on the front desk for being an amazing guide and being patient with all the questions for 3 days consecutively! Haha! Must recommended!

Very kind people working there that help us to book and organize our trips having into account availability, weather, etc. Definitely would recommend!

The service I received today from Karsten was nothing short of 1st class, nothing was too much trouble, and believe me I asked her many questions that she happily answered, or went off to find the answer. My tour experience started in the tourist information shop thanks to karsten, and the tour itself didn't disappoint. Thank you so so much...

Poor facilities on board and a terrible vessel for the trip out. Moored up at a location with major light pollution from the coastline for looking at the Northern lights. The guide !! Was a sales pitch only, terrible and avoid at all costs. Absolute waste of money and time.

(Translated by Google) We had great weather and that was actually crucial for a positive tour with the huskies - we say THANK YOU (Original) Wir hatten superschönes Wetter und das ist dann eigentlich schon ausschlaggebend für eine positive Tour mit den Husky´s - wir sagen DANKE

Beautiful church in the middle of the city, you'll probably drive past it if you're in tromso, it's worth a look. The architecture is formidable, all made of wood with cream tones. I loved.

The big plus with this cathedral was that it was free and open most of the day It's situated close to the main street and very central on the square Very beautiful stained glass windows , impressive organ and pulpit area There is also a little coffee shop inside. The cathedral gets quite busy with tourists especially when ships dock

Tromso is really magical place to me. I really love this small and nice city. It is located north of Norway with nice site seen of see,jangle and polar light. This city has small air port and it tack 2 hours of Oslo to there by plan. There is a bus for transfer airport to city and back. The weather is nice and cold...

Didn’t really go inside the church, just saw it while taking a walk. The most beautiful thing was that when gazing at the top of the church we saw really bright northern lights. Yes, you can also see them clearly from the city if they are strong enough.

Attended the Midnight Concert on a Friday night. It was snowing, the cathedral looks so beautiful in the falling snow. Interior of there church is well preserved. The soothing music and voice of the soprano echoed beautifully.

I loved it. Tromsø Cathedral is a cathedral of the Church of Norway located in the city of Tromsø in Tromsø Municipality in Troms county, Norway. The cathedral is the church for the Tromsø Domkirkens parish and it is the headquarters for the Tromsø domprosti (arch-deanery) and the Diocese of Nord-Hålogaland. This cathedral is notable since it is the only Norwegian cathedral made of wood. The yellow, wooden cathedral was built in a long church format and in the Gothic Revival style in 1861 by the architect Christian Heinrich Grosch. The church tower and main entrance are on the west front. It is probably the northernmost Protestant cathedral in the world. With over 600 seats, it is one of Norway's biggest wooden churches. It originally held about 984 seats, but many benches and seats have been removed over the years to make room for tables in the back of the church. We really enjoyed spending some time at the cathedral, and to us it was quintessentially Norwegian and on par with several of the older churches we have been fortunate to visit in Norway. Well worth the visit and VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

We had a lovely holiday in tromsø during the Christmas time. Certainly we going to return to catch the aurora borealis.

Beautiful wooden Cathedral which stands at the heart of Tromso which has a great history A good reminder that in the busyness of the bustle of travel around Tromso that there is a place to sit and reflect. One drawback is that it's only open to the public Sunday afternoons.

Tromsø Cathedral, a striking landmark amidst Norway's Arctic landscape, captivates visitors with its elegant architecture and serene ambiance. Its towering spires reach towards the sky, casting a picturesque silhouette against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains and the shimmering waters of the fjord. Stepping inside, one is enveloped in a sense of tranquility, as sunlight streams through stained glass windows, illuminating the nave in a kaleidoscope of colors. The cathedral's interior, adorned with intricate woodwork and ornate decor, evokes a palpable sense of reverence and awe. A visit to Tromsø Cathedral is a spiritual journey and a testament to the enduring beauty of Norwegian craftsmanship.

Lovely church, great energy. I like the relative simplicity of churches in Tromsø! And the artistic touches. I was so blessed to walk in when the original organ from 1863 was played. It was truly magnificent!!! A short video is attached. The amazing part is the new organ and old organ can be linked together! I can only imagine what harmonious fabulous sound will be cteated! Great information about the history of the organs and the Cathedral. Highly recommend sitting for a few minutes and enjoy the wonderful energy. Open Tuesday & Friday 12-16, Sunday 14-16. No entrance fee. Paid parking only in nearby parking lot.

Went for a midnight concert, worth a look, and church itself is beautiful

Perfectly designed. I am not usually fond of modern architecture but this cathedral is an exception. Warm and peaceful inside

The Tromso Cathedral was built in 1861 in the center of Tromso. This church is listed in wood and is a beautiful structure.

Beautiful and really enjoyed the visit.

It was a "by chance" visit for me. They had a local ukulele group doing a short performance and they were really good. I think they were trying a performance out before an actual gig (if that makes sense). The cathedral was stunning inside and out and the staff were so helpful and friendly, very welcoming.
