Storgata & Old Town
Storgata
The city center’s pedestrian main street, lined with 19th-century colorful wooden houses, cafés, and outdoor gear shops, linking the cathedral, harbor, and museums.
Storgata is Tromsø’s main shopping street, running north to south through the city center. Its sides still have many 19th-century wooden commercial buildings painted yellow, red, and white, interspersed with cafés, restaurants, Sámi handicraft shops, and outdoor equipment stores. Along the street you can link the cathedral, the Catholic church, Mack Brewery, and the harbor square. In winter, street lights and Christmas decorations create a warm atmosphere, and it is where visitors gather to eat and shop before northern lights tours. Prices are high, but there are supermarkets within the district, which is convenient.
