The cathedral in town is not hard to find at all. It’s not grand in the way you might expect but it’s still worth a look. It’s free to enter and there’s information about it’s organs, church bell etc inside which is very pretty. We didn’t know there was a daily concert so we decided to pay and stay for it and it was really lovely - there was a lot of talent on display from three performers. It was something a little different and 30 minutes very well spent.

The Tromsø Cathedral is the natural center of the small, cosy town of Tromsø and the architecture and design of the small square where the church is located are a pleasure to see from the outside. However, if you have the chance, you should participate in the Sunday worship to appreciate the beautiful interior, the harmonious pace and rituals of the Norwegian mass, the pleasant church hymns and the kind church staff and local community present.

My family and I visited this church for Midnight Mass and were delighted to experience and take part in the Mass. A wonderful way to start Christmas and we felt extremely welcome by the local community. Thank you.
