What to do and see in Tromso, Northern Norway: The Best Churches & Cathedrals
The fjords and mountain ranges of Tromso are simply magical. Here, the northern lights sparkle across the same navy blue sky that's illuminated by the midnight sun. You'll be spellbound by Tromso's enchanting fishing villages, fragrant botanical gardens and crystalline waterfalls. Music is a major part of the Tromso culture, particularly techno and electronic music, which adds some thumping thunder to the city once a year during the annual Insomnia Festival.

The cathedral in town is not hard to find at all. It’s not grand in the way you might expect but it’s still worth a look. It’s free to enter and there’s information about it’s organs, church bell etc inside which is very pretty. We didn’t know there was a daily concert so we decided to pay and stay for it and it was really lovely - there was a lot of talent on display from three performers. It was something a little different and 30 minutes very well spent.

The Tromsø Cathedral is the natural center of the small, cosy town of Tromsø and the architecture and design of the small square where the church is located are a pleasure to see from the outside. However, if you have the chance, you should participate in the Sunday worship to appreciate the beautiful interior, the harmonious pace and rituals of the Norwegian mass, the pleasant church hymns and the kind church staff and local community present.

My family and I visited this church for Midnight Mass and were delighted to experience and take part in the Mass. A wonderful way to start Christmas and we felt extremely welcome by the local community. Thank you.
