The architecture continues to be stunning and in the city centre lies another cathedral that can be visited and marvelled. Troms\u00f8 Cathedral was constructed in 1861 and is known as Norway\u2019s only Protestant, Lutheran cathedral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Troms\u00f8 Cathedral sits right in the middle of the city so it is easily accessible. It is also surrounded by a quaint park so when you are tired from shopping, it serves as the perfect pit stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018The Hall\u2019, otherwise known as \u00d8lhallen, is the oldest pub in Troms\u00f8. A true rustic feel and an attention to Norwegian history for decor, \u00d8lhallen is the pub that accommodates the young and the old. And if you love beer, then this is the place for you, with seventy-two taps of beers brewed by Mack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00d8lhallen is a few minutes walk from the centre and would be a complete hidden gem if it were not for its retro sign hanging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst myself and my boyfriend chose not to, there is a cable car that can take you to the mountain ledge of Storsteinen in just a few minutes for 199.50 NOK for students and 218.50 NOK for adults. We experienced the splendour of the nature from ground level and it was wondrous so we can only imagine that same experience 421m above sea level would offer the ultimate view of Troms\u00f8 and the islands, mountains and fjords that surround it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a clear night, Telegrafbukta beach is a fantastic viewpoint for the Northern Lights as well as the surrounding mountains. It is paramount to go to the beach on a clear night if you want to experience the lights without travelling too far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Telegrafbukta is approximately thirty minutes walking distance from the city centre. Since the winter weather has firmly set in, make sure wear thermals and pack everything to keep you warm on this beach that is currently hidden beneath a fair few inches of snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nTroms\u00f8, as we experienced it in snowy wonder, is a beautiful city with a lot of experiences on offer other than the Northern Lights. It is, however, very much a tourist destination with Norway tourist shops overwhelming the local Scandinavian trade but it did not falter our experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Something I really have come to understand from living in Norway is that; tourists can be surrounding you but as you experience these things that Scandinavia has to offer, its beauty can isolate you from the surrounding people into this state of constant awe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
