Tromso Highlights & Cable Car - Ending At Airport (Debark)

OVERVIEW

View Tromsø from an aerial perspective while ascending Mt. Storsteinen on a cable car and through attractions that highlight the city’s unusual character. On the approach to the Tromsdalen Church – or the Arctic Cathedral as it is commonly called – you can’t help but admire its steep triangular shape, which aluminum-coated concrete slabs cover. The interior is also starkly simple yet dramatic, especially its glass mosaic with three symbolic luminous rays emanating from the hand of God. The Tromsø Museum is noteworthy for its focus on the natural world, especially in depicting how plants and animals have adapted to the Arctic environment. Highlights include a whale skeleton, a nugget of solid gold and a giant fossilized ichtyosaurus, an extinct marine reptile from the Jurassic Age. Riding in a Tromsø cable car will present the ultimate view of the city and your cruise ship in port. The higher you go, the more panoramic the sights.
