Tromsø Bridge
Tromsøbrua
A cantilever bridge linking Tromsø Island with the mainland. Walking across leads to the Arctic Cathedral, and the bridge offers views of the harbor and snowy mountains.
Tromsø Bridge opened in 1960 and is about 1,036 meters long. It is the iconic bridge linking the city center with Tromsdalen on the eastern shore. The bridge has a pedestrian walkway, and it takes about 15–20 minutes to walk from the city center across to the Arctic Cathedral and the lower station of the cable car. From the bridge you can look back at the harbor and the colorful houses on the island. On winter afternoons, the blue hour and the church lights make a classic photo spot. Admission is free. In winter, the bridge is windy and slippery, so dress warmly.
