Full Steam

     

The city of Tromsø is not only known as the “Paris of the North”; it is also “The Gateway to the Arctic”, and during your visit to the Full Steam building, you will get an insight into the city’s history from the 20th century to the present, including a story about the first tourists in Northern Norway and Tromsø. First and foremost, you will learn about the Sami culture, especially the part of it which is related to the sea.

   

Tromsø is known as an international and modern city, as well as one of the world’s best “Northern Lights cities”.

   

Afterwards, the tour continues to the top of Fjellheisen 421 meters above sea level, where you can enjoy a spectacular view overlooking the fjords, the city, and its surrounding islands and mountains. Feel free to take a short walk on the mountain or visit the restaurant on the top.
