Arctic Cathedral

It's beautiful and worth a look. You need to pay to go in, but you can pretty much see everything from the outside by looking through the window. It's a 10 to 20 minute walk from Tromso town center across the bridge and easy to get to. Might want to consider a bus in winter as the wind can be unforgiving and also slippy when walking across the bridge.

You can’t visit Tromsø without stopping by the Arctic Cathedral. It’s easily the most recognizable building in the city, and while it looks cool from the city center, it’s even better up close. We walked across the bridge to get there, which gives you some of the best views of the city and the mountains (just be prepared for the wind!). The architecture is really striking—it’s designed to look like icebergs or a Sami tent. Inside, the huge stained-glass window is beautiful, especially when the light hits it. It’s a very peaceful and impressive spot. There is a small entrance fee, but for such an iconic landmark, we felt it was worth it.

A beautiful cathedral by a world renowned architect and build in 1965 60 years ago. And it's not a church btw, but more for concerts and performances due to the amazing acoustic sounds. Love the shape and the design of the building slopes and contours. Didnt have the chance to get in as they are closed that day but you still can see the scenic villages and houses around the area.

You can go and if you not planning to enter inside, it will hardly take more than ten minutes. We went during the evening and it was a pretty snowy day so the way up to the cathedral was a bit too slippery for me. It was also very windy and provided a lovely panoramic view . All in all, can go and tick a place off your Tromso checklist. Is such a small and beautiful place, it hardly takes any time to reach anywhere from anywhere

A truly stunning building set in the most beautiful setting. Views from around the cathedral are worth the visit alone. Do note, should entry to the cathedral be closed there is little to do facility wise in the immediate area, so be prepared to walk to find a shop or coffee.

The Arctic Cathedral is one of Tromsø's most iconic landmarks. It's located on the eastern side of the city, just across the Tromsøbrua Bridge in the Tromsdalen district. The cathedral resembles an iceberg or a Sami (Arctic indigenous) tent. The structure, made of white concrete and glass, contrasts with the sky and snow-capped mountains, symbolizing the beauty of the Arctic. Situated on a hillside with no tall buildings blocking the view, the Arctic Cathedral is a popular spot for viewing the Northern Lights during winter. The views are stunning, offering panoramic views of the city.

A modern structure sitting atop a hill, walkable from downtown area of Tromso. It is across the main bridge, about half an hour on foot or, by local bus. Since I'm not familiar with the bus route and I love walking, it suits me fine to cross the bridge. Make sure you walk on the path for pedestrians, not one for bicyclists. The wind is stronger across the bridge so bundle up. The cathedral was closed on the day I was in town, but it's nice to see the outside. A tall, erect structure in a giant triangle. There is not much outside to see, no garden, park or anything interesting so I didn't stay around long. Behind it is the route to the cable cars, interesting to take. $60 usd for the ticket if you like an aerial view of the town. The church itself is worth a walk to but unless it is open, visit nearby attractions such as the cable cars.

Beautiful place! If you opt for piblic transport you can direct get down at the nearest bus-stop, Very accessible place. And if you really want to visit by walking, I would suggest, stay there till the sunset, enjoy beautiful colors and head back. Its just 2-2.5 kms from harbor area.

This majestic Norwegian Cathedral was built in 1964, it is the northernmost & very Scandanavian. This is the Lutheran, the Church of England here. It is very liberal & has been marry gays for over ten years. The shape of the church is believed to be a reference to the nearby twin-peaked island of Håja. It has the largest, thickest what is and heaviest Stainglass window. Admission is $7

The Arctic Cathedral (Ishavskatedralen) has a bus stop right outside, and plenty of parking in the back. It's located right off the east end of the Tromso Bridge (Tromsøbrua). The church does charge a small fee to take photos inside. It's worth it though. The architecture is certainly unique.

Check out their midnight concerts. We saw a concert of Norwegian folk songs and it was beautiful. Just a singer, cellist and pianist. As we walked out, the aurora was visible above the cathedral and we got some great photos.
