Tromsø
Tromsø is a small city in Troms county in north Norway. The area has been inhabited since the end of the Ice Age and the Sámi culture is the first known culture of the region.
Most of Tromsø, including the city centre, is located on the small island of Tromsøya in the county of Troms, 217 miles north of the Arctic Circle. The island is connected to the mainland by the Tromsø Bridge and the Tromsøysund Tunnel and to the island of Kvaløya by the Sandnessund Bridge.
The city centre of Tromsø contains the highest number of old wooden houses in North Norway, the oldest house dating from 1789. The Arctic Cathedral, a modern church from 1965, is probably the most famous landmark in Tromsø.
