8 Historic Sites in Troms That You Shouldn't Miss
From its snow-capped mountains to its mighty fjords, from grand valleys to tranquil lakes and lovely archipelagos, the county of Troms is bursting with natural wonders. To cap it off, it also plays host to the northern lights. Tromso, the capital, is the gateway to the region's rugged beauty, but with 65,000 people it's also a surprisingly rich city culturally, with many interesting museums and sites (including the world's northernmost botanical garden) and even a pulsing nightlife.

Reviewed By samiisi
Perfect example of German design quality this time creating a gun with attitude "bigger is better". Everything is planned and created for the systematic shooting process. This museum has kept everything in very good shape for next generations to remind scary times during the war both in Norway and Germany. The Guide really knew the gun, it's purpose and loading process. He could almost shoot with it :-). Recommend visiting also in similar sites: 38 cm cannon in Møvik Kristiansand and Tirpitz Museum in Alta.
4. Skansen

3.5 based on 66 reviews
The oldest house in Tromso, built as a custom's station in 1789, surrounded by smaller houses. The foundations are the remnants of mediaeval fortifications, possibly from the 13th c., which today appear as a small park. Café in the summer.

6. Helleren Powerstation
Helleren Powerstation played a critical role in the industrial history of the region. In operation since 1958, the machinery, turbine and generator date to 1907 and 1905 and produced between 1,8 and 2,83 MW. The voltage from the generator was 5,15 kV. As a low-pressure plant with massive dimensions, Helleren is unique in a national context. However, today it stands side-by-side with the modern powerstation. The powerful contrasts between the two stations illuminate technical developments over the last hundred years. Open all year during office hours, by appointment.
